Making a Jewel Setting on a Boley Lathe

[jdrichard]

I have attached a video i made where i have made a lower balance jewel setting for a full plate Waltham pocket watch. I made one and cut it too low so the second one i made was not cut as deep. I made the jewel flush so it could be held in place by the cap jewel. Worked great. Will need to make a graver to cut at a right angle to the setting face.

Thanks. My first setting and the watch now works. I also made the balance staff. Have been using my lathe for three months now.
