Watch this before buying a watchmaking staking set!
I bought my first watchmaker’s staking set, a Marshall Moseley inverto-type tool on eBay. In this video I share my unboxing, cleaning, adjustment & more… Plus I share some common-sense tips that everyone should know before buying used watchmaking tools online.

What a fantastic eBay find. Great score on that staking set. You'll be using it more than you had imagined! Barrel arbor port adjustments, wheel & pinion repairs, etc. all are in your near future. Have you sourced a jeweling/Horia tool yet? You'll find that you'll begin to enjoy having to replace jewels, adjust end shake, etc. once you get one of those in your tool kit as well. I'm enjoying the channel, great work!

@WatchWithMike 9 месяцев назад

Hi Adam! Thanks for the encouraging words. I haven't started looking at jeweling tools yet. I am hoping for my next "big" purchase to be a stereo microscope with a good video camera. (I love my digital microscope for observation, but I am always hitting the lens with my tweezers.) Between the staking set and eventually a Horia tool, I'm looking forward to understanding all of the nuances in restoring and fine-tuning my watch projects. I've really been enjoying watchmaking, and wearing the watches I fix… The learning process seems endless, as does my shopping list for new tools and supplies, lol!😁

@Mio_15 9 месяцев назад

Great video as always! I would love a video where you show some examples on how this tool could be used. I'm still pretty new to the hobby and haven't seen anybody use this before. So I don't really get how its used :P

@WatchWithMike 9 месяцев назад

I agree! I need to spend some time with it and do a little bit of learning, and then I will be putting out some videos. Looking forward to it and thank you for the suggestion! 😁

No joke, in cleaning hundreds of guitars in restoration, I've found that the best preserved finishes were always underneath layers of tar and nicotine!

@WatchWithMike 6 месяцев назад

That's crazy! So I'm curious… How do you get off tar and nicotine from a vintage guitar with a lacquer or nitro finish, without destroying the finish?

@jscan 6 месяцев назад

@@WatchWithMike hand rubbing in a light coat of window cleaner over a guitar caked with years of grime will loosen that up without hurting the finish, not sure I would use it on a decades old Gibson, Fender or Martin, certainly not leave it on for long, and it's a one time job, don't recommend using it regularly, only when you need to get that grime off.. I only experienced some clouding once when I left it on for a while (>15 minutes - negligence on my part, though over time, the clouding dissipated). And you might want to avoid it with checking finishes..

@WatchWithMike 6 месяцев назад

@@jscan Thanks for the feedback! Window cleaner is my go-to cleanser in my shop, and on my watch making bench. Just enough solvent, and it evaporates without residue.

@gpraceman 9 месяцев назад

Don't those pins go to the roller table removers to tighten/loosen the jaws? 5 pins for your 5 roller table removers. ;-) I just picked up a K&D 18R deluxe set but am having buyer's remorse after how much I paid for it. Lost out on several auctions and just gave up and threw my wallet at it. Maybe I'll feel better about it once I have the set in hand.

@WatchWithMike 9 месяцев назад

Is that what those pins are for? I'm going to check out your theory! Thank you! I hope the set you bought lives up to your expectations! I saw so many auctions go sky high, and I was getting discouraged, too. Good tools are definitely worth it! 😁

@MattMcCulloch-lf5fw 21 день назад

Hi Mike , What a great resource your videos are ! keep up the great work ! . I am looking for some information and thought you might be able to point me in the right direction . I recently bought a well used C. & E. Marshall set and it looks like somebody tried to "restore" it by soaking in rust remover and now a number of the smaller holes on the anvil are plugged. I'm looking for original spec's for the holes diameters so I can limit the size of the cleaning effort to prevent damage - Also looking for recommendations for lubrication on the inner workings ( cam ,etc) for reassembly . Any help would be much appreciated - Thanks, Matt

@WatchWithMike 20 дней назад

Hi Matt, thanks for the kind words! I don't know the hole diameter sizes. For the inner works I used a 3-in-1 type household oil. For the holes that are plugged, I might try soaking the part again in Evaporust, and then blowing out the holes with compressed air. It might be enough to dislodge any oxidation, and you wouldn't have to worry about re-machining the holes. Good luck!

@mdimbler 28 дней назад

Mike, great video! It was very helpful for me as I just purchased a similar set on eBay. Do you happen to know where I can find the CE Marshall catalog you mention around 18:45? I'd love to be able to compare the stakes I received just like you did in your video.

@WatchWithMike 20 дней назад

Thanks for the kind words! I think I found those screen grabs on a random watchmaking forum… Google search is our friend! 😁

@user-nd3fc3rb8y 27 дней назад

Hey Mike. Nice staking set. I got a similar one from e-bay that required much more rust intervention. Mine has a balance staff jammed into one of the table's holes. Any idea how to completely remove the table to get at that blockage?

@WatchWithMike 20 дней назад

Thanks! I wasn't able to fully get mine apart, so I stopped out of fear that I would not be able to get it back together again! I might try pushing a stuck balance staff out of a hole using a similarly sized drillbit before taking it apart. Worth a try?

@user-lf8nj5yn5m 5 месяцев назад

Hello. A cool tool. Congratulations. Tell me, what is the diameter and length of the punches?

@WatchWithMike 5 месяцев назад

Thanks! The stakes are approximately 80mm long x 4.7mm thick.

@Foxpest 5 месяцев назад

There is a reason why instrument boxes are 'bare' inside. It's because any cloths or velvet dressings attract and hold moisture. Just saying!

@WatchWithMike 5 месяцев назад

That's a fair comment! FYI, while my workspace is temperature and humidity controlled, I also have a moisture absorbing silica packet in the toolbox as a precautionary measure. 😁
