Thanks! I got the correct burnishing tool in exchange for a cup of coffee at a watch fair in La Chaux-de-Fonds recently (not the burnishing tool in this video but a smaller one from Valorbe). And I have some pivots that actually need polishing! So I'm ready to put some more effort into doing it right!

Thanks previous enjoyed your video on jeweling sets - I have a complete seitz and favorite although need to replace three reamers. I am really intrigued with everything around you - are you a photographer? by profession. By the way what is the brand of that little digital camera/stand that looks really good. You look to have a lot of nice equipment and in this regard I am sure one of the benefits of living in Switzerland.

Thanks! The little USB 3 camera is made by Arducam. It's mounted on a vintage microscope base that I reconfigured. The USB 3 is plugged into a small computer running Ubuntu and I use OBS in full screen to get a full screen 1080P HDMI signal that I record with a Black Magic Design HDMI recorder. That's the only USB camera that I use in my camera systems and it's not ideal but I like it because it's so small and routing it to a computer screen allows me to switch and record whatever is on my computer screen if I want to.

15:45 Too much torque and not enough pivot... sounds like relationship advice! Awesome Magnum reveal. Cameras angles and footage look great! So how comfortable is it to work at chin level?

Hi, nice video, can you tell me how can I buy a binocular loupe like yours. Thanks

It's very old and they don't make them any more, but unless you need your eyes to be completely covered (from lathe shavings, for example) there are lots of Zeiss EyeMag surgeons loupes that were made over the years that are very good. New ones are expensive, but older ones can sometimes be found used at a reasonable price, or you could try a less expensive brand.

I enjoy your videos. Thanks for sharing but I must ask with all due respect, are all the little electronic sounds mixed in to the sound track absolutely necessary? It sounds like some video game soundtrack from the 80s and it's somewhat distracting, almost annoying..

Yeah, sorry about that. I consider these days to be the early days of my channel and I like to experiment. Asian social media is peppered with crazy sound effects so I thought I'd try it for fun. I haven't continued doing it and I appreciate your feedback!

Hey Dayton, absolutely no paste! You’ll ruin the runners, lavender oil is often used. You also need to move the burnisher in the opposite direction to the wheel rotation

The burnisher looks too big to me, maybe for clock pivots
@tomholloway7566

The pivot needs to be held to the runner by the burnisher

Thanks for all of these notes, Tom! I bought that burnisher on Ebay because it was only 10 bucks. Will probably end up paying Bergeon 100 bucks for a new one in the end. Been watching auctions but for used ones but 80 year old burnishers also raise some doubts. 😂😂😂

Hi Tom, I just got back from the watch fair at the Musee Horology International in La Chaux-de-Fonds where I was given a proper Antoine Glardon & Cie burnishing tool from the late 1800s in exchange for a cup of coffee! You're right that it's considerably smaller than the one I used in this video. I hope the one in the video is a good one for cutting once I get used to using it (and even though it's a bit big), and the new one (from the 1800s) will be good for final polishing! We'll see! Thanks again for your comments!

It’s all a very steep learning curve Dayton, I am at a point that I have limited experience but a fair bit of knowledge. At my age I doubt very much I’ll manage the mastery of 10,000 hours.
