This video is about using a Staking tool to close or make smaller the hole in a pocket watch minute or hour hand. Sometimes you may have made the hole too big with the broaching tool or bought replacement hands only to find out the hole is too big. Well you can close that hole with your staking tool with ease.

I just purchased a staking tool on Ebay, but I don't know how to use it yet. The book you referenced at the end of your video would be very helpful to me. Could you provide the author and the publisher's names in hopes that I may find one.

@myhobbiesarenotcheap 3 года назад

Sure thing... The author's are George G.Lucchina and Archie B. Perkins the publishers are Whitman Press

@FOURTEEFIVE 9 месяцев назад

does laying the hand face down cause scratches to the polished surface? i think that it must, is there a solution to save the polished surface. I guess a thin piece of material

@myhobbiesarenotcheap 9 месяцев назад

I have never had that problem, but I am thinking you could use some watch paper in between the part and the die plate if this concerns you. Thanks for watching!

@marcn8750 11 месяцев назад

Useful thanks. I have a crack in the central chronograph seconds hand tube. So when the chronograph is activate and reset, the hand moves 1 tick as it’s not tight enough. I was thinking I’ll need to laser weld the crack first and then use a staking set to either open or close the hole a bit. The alternative is to close the tube without the laser welding but the question would be how long it will last before it it gets loose again. 3rd option is to find a new chronograph central seconds hand but I’m not seeing the same one online to be correct. If you have a link to a online shop that sell a variety of hands, it would be appreciated. Would you agree with the assessment? Thanks in advance.

@myhobbiesarenotcheap 11 месяцев назад

I would try closing the tube to see how that works. You also may want to check out Martybspace on eBay. He repairs hands and you could send him a message - he could possibly rivet a new hand tube.

@Mateusz-sw4px 8 месяцев назад

Sir. Do you think is it possible to reduce minute hand tube size from 0.9mm to 0.7mm using stacking set? I am trying to find a way to fit larger hand on smaller minute wheel and considering if staking set is able to do it? I appreciate your help

@myhobbiesarenotcheap 8 месяцев назад

The process I use to tighten a cannon Pinion can possibly be used to reduce the minute hand tube size. Here is my video: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-3p_Z2pa8ku8.html

I'm new to watchmaking and i just also got a C.E Marshall staking set just like that one. currently restoring it as it was so seized up after sitting for 70 years. Has that one served you well? I don't hear about them near as much as K&D and bergeon.

@myhobbiesarenotcheap Год назад

You are blessed! A complete set is really hard to find now. Mine has served me VERY well! I can do anything with them. Remember that you can invert your stakes and use them as stumps too. (You can watch the friction staff video to see how I used it in that way). Enjoy!

@gh778jk 2 года назад

who is the author, year of publication of that book?

@threegreencharms 2 года назад

Are all the holes in the die plate tapered? I was wondering if I could use or convert this tool to punch/broach neat holes in thin sheet metal. It would be nice if this tool has the ability to punch and broach. (not a clockmaker, wanting to use this tool for other projects if it's possible to convert it)

@myhobbiesarenotcheap Год назад

I don't think you could punch holes with it because I don't believe the stakes are strong enough to punch holes...

@DanielMorales-zq1xn Год назад

👏👏👏👏👏👏

@aliwho Год назад

Hi could u show the before and after size of hole thanks u.k.

@myhobbiesarenotcheap Год назад

I am unable to do this for that particular project, but I intend to make sure I do before and after parts of "problem solving" in future videos. Thanks for the suggestion!

@aliwho Год назад

Ok thanks.

@Marshal77 2 года назад

Thats insane...would I be correct by saying that the first tapered stake made that hole diameter smaller by pushing material from edge of the hole , towards (taper direction) center of the hole?

@Mikesmeyer88 Год назад

Yes, just reforming the metal from 1 place to another.

@myhobbiesarenotcheap Год назад

That is correct! Thanks for watching!

@myhobbiesarenotcheap Год назад

Agreed! Thanks for watching!!
