@@jadugar3518 when possible I will use a machine. Either laser etching or with my vertical mill. I do use a graver to remove small imperfections when necessary as well. There is a lot of hand refining once I machine something until it is finished (sometimes several hours of work) and then I hand paint or enamel each dial. I also have two metal lathes; however I haven’t used these as of yet on dials. I would imagine I would likely use this only to reduce the dial size should I find that necessary.

@@SB-he1cn thanks. I appreciate it. I am not full time right now and am on a pause until December 15th traveling and working on other projects. I will swing around to you after I get back.

@@eisenhorngaunt great to hear and wonderful that you repurposed a tool to get it done. I love hearing about innovative ways and tricks and tips. Thanks for sharing!!!

I got mine at The Home Depot. But I would guess any plumbing supply store or hardware store should have what you need.

What is the exact size of your union fitting that goes into the pool pump? 1 1/2"

@@jefsiv not likely. It could cause a lot of damage to the watch dial due to the heat. The finish, if anything but metal only would burn and anything held on with glue or shellac would fall apart. Thanks for the question and for watching the channel. Much appreciated.

@@jefsiv three options that could work though would be pad printing to add to a dial, water slide laser printed additions, and adhesive metal or other material stickers. I would imagine someone talented enough could also hand paint the dial.

It is a Raycus 50W fiber laser. I don’t have a link to it as I imported it myself which I don’t recommend doing unless you have extensive experience working with complex imports (FDA inspection required and they reject a good handful). As far as the blanks go you just need to good 50mm brass round disc .7mm to get what I am using. .5mm to .7mm all work but if you want to use .7mm you will need to use a movment with a higher hand height installed. For instance I use HH5 on an ETA with my custom dials.

Raycus 50W fiber laser. Make sure whatever you purchase supports LightBurn.

@@patrickt840 I am guessing this is a 3 season pump. I have had freezes nearly every year that has damaged the pipes causing the pump to run dry or freeze itself. So far I haven’t had to replace the pump due to motor failure and the longest I’ve run it is 2 years before one of the other contributing factors have led to replacement. This is one reason why I stopped buying $1200 to $2000 pumps. It has never been the motor failing that is causing me to replace my pump. Usually it is climate (freezes) or another pipe bursts causing my pump to run dry which will damage the plastic housing and the windings/motor.

I plan on continuing with this same brand until it is no longer available for purchase. I am very satisfied with the performance and value it provides.

@@kathyortiz8774 appreciate the feedback Joe. I will try to be better. I am am not very good at holding the camera while I work. Sorry it wasn’t helpful.

You are welcome. Thank you for the comment letting me know!!

@@inaseeb_singh_ thank you. Very much appreciate your kind comment!!

My oldest kids cat.

@@LuisMorales-sc7rr no. You should be able to glue in the trim with a rubber cement type glue like shoogoo or E6000 glue. But make sure you put enough glue at the tops and the bottom to secure it so the wind doesn’t remove the trim for you at 80mph.

@@LuisMorales-sc7rr if you want to replace the brackets I am not sure of the procedure as I haven’t had the windshield out on this car. Sorry. But the windshield should be reuseable. I cannot imagine it needs to be replaced. Probably just the seal and the brackets.

@DangerDIY awesome, thanks for taking time to reply. Hope you have a wonderful weekend.

@LuisMorales-sc7rr you too!

Only the middle clips are broken on mine, so I’m thinking about just using E6000 glue as you mentioned. Does that make it harder to remove later tho? Also great video! Very informative for a newbie to car stuff like me

@@GoodEatsGuy I can make watches with or without date complications. I use the STP1-21 top grade movement made by STP in Switzerland or the ETA 2824-2 if preferred.

Yes. They came with the exchanged when I purchased it.

@@GoodEatsGuy thank you.

@@fernir.1 thank you. I’ll take a look and see if I can find a suitable transparent green I can use on the dial. Appreciate the comment!!

Thank you. I agree. Just didn’t think to do that at the time.

Thank you. Much appreciated !!

@@ArthLud thank you for the note. I love working on watches and the dials and appreciate you giving the time to look at the work.

@@ArthLud thank you! 🙏❤️

@@TheJcrandazzo that is correct. I direct wired but there is no reason why splicing the wires shouldn’t work. The amperage is lower at the higher voltage so the wires should be sufficient. Obviously switch to 240V on the selector before energizing the circuit. 👍

Thank you!! ❤️🙏

@@Fred_Klingon thank you. 🙏❤️

@@deeday763 that is the bonding wire for your pump to your pool. I don’t have any wires from my pool making it that far (at least that I could find) so my pump isn’t bonded to my pool. But most of the time you will have a copper wire that is bonded to your pool frame and ground and this wire would be used to bond this equipment to that as well.

@@GoodEatsGuy thank you

@@rickyolson4356 thank you. 😁🙏

@@AgalisgvUdalii you can get them from watch distributors. I started a watch brand (BargerWatch.com) and buy my movements from the factory in Switzerland, but at first purchased them through my local watch / jewelry distributor.

@@DangerDIY thanks for the reply. Making our own wedding rings has turned into making a his and her suite, and I really havent seen many timepieces out there for what I have in mind. The project has literally just gotten me into learning anything about Watches. Best of lucky with the brand

@@fernir.1 thank you. I sell my watches at BargerWatch.com. I don’t work on other people’s designs as I don’t have the production time available for that as I am usually catching up with my orders. If you see a dial you like and I don’t have it on my site I can make a watch with the dial you want for you. I am willing to make a dial with your own family name on it or a special message but that would be the extent of customization that I could work into my schedule. Right now that work has about a 45 day product backlog based on current demand.

That should technically work out as one would expect the current wiring to be able to handle the amperage load since it is a plug to run the motor at 120v AC and that is an even higher amperage load for the motor than the 240VAC. Cutting the wires and splicing into them should be just fine with that being the deal, right? The problem I have with that, in my opinion, is the plug wiring looks too thin and so I went with wiring of a higher thickness (lower gauge) to handle the high current load. I’ve never cut into the power cord and spliced in the power, rather I’ve disconnected the cord and ran directly to the same terminals they are connected to inside. I may be totally taking an unnecessary step by doing that but this is what I have done and I am on my 3rd motor having had 2 burn up due to the pool pipes breaking during freezing weather and needing to replace the overheated pumps after they ran with no water. But the same connections for 120VAC are the same ones for the two hot lines for 240VAC; just need to make sure the selector switch is on the 240 setting. Let me know how it goes. Thanks for the question and good luck on your install.

@@DangerDIY thank you, yes I will test with the 120v cord and if the cord gets too hot I will plug it directly inside, I will keep you informed

@@tjjoubert9322 thanks for the feedback and for letting me know. This is one of my earliest videos and I didn’t have an extra set of hands to help me photograph while I was installing. I have more camera tools now to help with that but unfortunately in the early videos I was still learning how to shoot the video and do the work. I hopefully have improved dramatically. Unfortunately UA-cam doesn’t let me edit the video after it is posted.

Thank you Emily. I appreciate you watching and your comment!

Hope the install goes well. I put a sun shade enclosure over mine and it seems to help keep it a lot cooler.

@@johncasor9698 how’d it go??

Any style of dial is possible. Using the brand of another company on it wouldn’t be something I’d do. But if you mean the style of the dial, the answer is yes.

@@DangerDIY Good man 👍🏾 Everybody wants a 'Submariner'. Me too 🤭

It is a great watch. I agree most people would love to have one. I am partial to the black bezel yachtmaster. I have a couple of watches on my site inspired by Rolex designs. They have a difference but very nice none the less, with Swiss movements, and reasonably priced. You can see them at Bargerwatch.com.
