I'm four and a half minutes into this video and I am grateful you are explaining both the how and why ! You make wonderful videos. I went into our jewelry shop (for a necklace clasp replacement) that we've gone to for almost 50 years, and because of the videos, I wanted to talk to the watchmakers - but my wife pulled me away LOL...I'll be back.
No lapping machine? Or is that to come. With one of those I don’t think you need much more plus you will never round edges. I really want a lapping machine but way out of price for a hobbyist .
Kalle. Thank you. I'll never get to begin to polish, but the knowledge and enthusiasm is a pleasure. I and others are obviously learning so much. Knowledge makes us better.
thank you so much for part 2. I've been waiting for it every day since part 1. i am just a hobbyist, and i learn so much from your videos. currently working on an Omega 1310 i got cheap because it doesn't work.
Hi, these videos are very well done and very informative. I’m looking to purchase a new panerai 963 bronzo watch (made out of brushed bronze) and love the look of the bronze when new but not so much when it patinas. Would you recommend having the bronze polished every 6 months to a year to keep the bronze looking new or taking another approach such as applying a lemon juice and baking soda paste? Thank you, Edmond
Thanks for the video! After part 1 I was waiting anxiously for the next. I am very experienced in buffing/polishing but knew I would learn some stuff! I will be buying a tumbler and walnut shells asap! Just one question, I know you mentioned they are good for gold. Are they safe for gold fill, or gold plate? And is the abrasive too light to finish stainless? Thanks again for the info!!
Hello Kalle thank you my friend for the very interesting content, it's nice to see there still a lot goin' on in your shop. Give a hug to Fat Bertha for me... Guillochééééééééé ! Lolll Enjoy your week-end my friend.
Good morning Kalle, Quick question regarding polishing. I was just wondering what Grit of Artifex Wheel you would recommend? I was thinking the SC150 MP (Medium Grain) or would you recommend the SC250? Also, I wanted to thank you very much for all the videos you put out. You have really been helping me in my journey as a new watchmaker. Chuck Long AKA- Colorado Gentlemen watch service

Never knew about that walnut bowl! Nice.... 😊

Good Evening Kalle,

Thank You and have a nice Weekend.

Thank you Kalle. Great as always. Really need to learn more about buffing/polishing
Super explication as ever. Thanks for the coffee and the look in your phantastic workshop Michel from South of Germany
Hello Kalle, what a great work shop you have created, very impressive.
How long you put the watchparts in the tumbler?
Really interesting! I'm looking forward to the next episodes!
Even though I can't imagine a situation where I would want to get a watch polished.
Kalle. Thank you. I'll never get to begin to polish, but the knowledge and enthusiasm is a pleasure. I and others are obviously learning so much. Knowledge makes us better.
Such indepth knowledge you have, Sir. Mind boggling.
Impressive facility!!!Fascinating stuff and I always learn. Thank you Kalle for posting!!
You should look in to a split-lap polisher for stainless to keep the edges and give a mirror finish. Greetings from Ireland.
Serious level of workshop 👏
I am wondering about cold laser repair for a slight ding in an 18 karat gold pocket watch case? And I really enjoy your videos.
Kalle, could you tell all of us which walnut grit you use in the vibrating tumbler?
Excellent video series. What cleaner do you run in your ultra sonic baths?
Right? I’m so curious about the walnut husks that I may go buy a tumbler and some walnut husks myself and see how it works. What could it cost 💲
thanks i learned alot

Hi Kalle, what compound you are using with hard felt wheel, and what grit is artifex wheel? Thanks
Thanks Kalle, another great one in the series! How long do you keep the part in the tumbler?

Hi Kalle, thanks for the videos. May I ask, what grade of Artifex wheel do you leave on the spindle? I note there are varying grit sizes. Lee
It is nice to experiment but I like the 250 medium hard.

If you are able it is nice to try both and see what your favourite is. I like the 250 grit medium soft personally.
@ Thank you for your fast response. Have a great day!
