Sometimes you simply cannot buy the tool you need for the job, and must make it yourself. This shop made reamer is a perfect example.

Making A Versatile Bluing Tray

The heat blued finish put on some steel parts by clock and watchmakers is quite dependent on a consistent, even heat being applied to the part. Smaller parts like short screws can be heated on a thick piece of brass with holes drilled to accept the threaded portion of the screw.

Larger parts are best heated on a bed of brass chips, held within some sort of tray. For some time I've been using a tray cobbled together from brass scraps, so in this video I make a more permanent version.

How To make A Clock Part 11 - Making, Polishing And Bluing The Bezel Screws

8/3/2015

3 Comments

 
Its surprising how much of the time required for clockmaking is spent making screws! They're such a small, apparently insignificant part, yet they require a surprisingly large number of operations to complete. 

In this video, I go through all of the steps to make a hardened, and tempered screw, focusing on the 4 screws required to fasten the chapter ring inside the bezel.

Be sure to watch the companion Spare Parts video: Drilling And Tapping A Small Blind Hole.
