The Mainplate - Making A Tourbillon Wristwatch 

Next level Clickspring

Nice work and attention to detail. Could you not use a live center in the tailstock to locate each hole and use a little pressure to push your main plate up to the face plate and then secure your piece? That would center a hole just as you center the plate on a jewelers staking tool. It would save loads of time locating those holes, IMO.

wonderful video, waiting for the next one in this series

Outstanding work, James!

Great video. I am not a watch maker but really appreciate the work holding and alignment processes you use. This will help immensely on some of my projects.

Fantastic to see so much detail on camera, much appreciated!

Hello JP, An enjoyable video... and pleased to see the BCA is still with you and earning its keep... See you on the next one. Take care. Paul,,

Exellent work! Looking forward following this!

So inspiring to watch! Keep up the good work!

Amaizing work!

Beautiful work, and inspiring to watch .. very well done, looking forward to videos to come

James, amazing work! I look forward to seeing at least one jewel being installed in this watch because that's something I've wondered about for a long time. One unasked for recommendation though: Please lower the volume of the background music! The music itself is nice and "soothing," but is simply too loud in many places in the video. I'm sure this is simply part of your videography/editing learning experience though. ;)

Well done!

Nice work !

I liked this video so much I watched it twice!

Incredible work! Just found your channel and subscribed immediately. I`m really curious how it progresses. Thanks for sharing!

Great job! Thanks for sharing your experience! Can you show the process of threading the base plate?

this is really cool ,thank you

Jaw-dropping work, JP - thanks for the work you’ve put into this! How do you avoid cumulative error, or is the machine just Very Very Accurate? The thought of making a mistake 2/3rds of the way through…ugh….

Amazing job!! just amazing. One question please, what milling machines are you using?

Make a video how to lay out the holes and everything please

Great job and beautiful video mate! Keep up going! 👏

What tolerance do you hold on the hole coordinates?

Thank you for posting this! What alloy of brass did you use for the main plate?

i dont understand something, how do you know where to drill without marking anything?

Nice! What kind of lathe you have?

What lathe is that?

Be aware that music, especially loud music, replacing the natural sounds of your work is unnecessary and not why your viewers are here. When that same music is relentlessly repeated it becomes very irritating and imo ruins the experience of watching your skilled and interesting work.
