In this video, I introduce my Boley 8mm Geneva Swiss style watchmaker's lathe. I demonstrate how the lathe headstock is serviced and set up to be fully functional, including a custom built murphy desk. The universal jeweler's motor is also disassembled and cleaned. The first use case is to turn a brand new stem for my Elgin B.W. Raymond railroad grade pocket watch, which is created using some blued steel stock.
I am an amateur who enjoys restoring vintage watches to working order. Constructive critiques of the process are welcome. I am always learning.
