Canuck
·I have, unfortunately, used the tool to warm forks and balances/roller tables to liquify that lovely shellac, just not ever used it to anneal, which is what it is sometimes called, an annealing tool. So, Canuck, are you doing this work just on your own watches or are you a pro? You know I specifically forbid pros from playing. And a video showing CLOCK repair does not begin to give the flavor of the size of the jewels used for watch repair. It is a whole other game. Even working on pocket watches seems like recreation compared to watch movements. I have probably lost a hundred of those tiny jewels/stones while trying to install them.
And I think Fritz was just yanking your chain, not doubting your skills.
Certainly the example of this warmer being used on a Brocot clock pallet doesn’t give an idea of scale. But it gives an idea of the application. I have used this type of tool for decades on my own watches, as well as on the watches of others.
