Kalle, at the risk of repeating: you’re a cool guy! Thanks for all that knowledge transfer!
I always thoroughly enjoy your videos. You are such a tremendous authority on watch making. I hope on day you will do a video on watchmaker lathes. I just purchased a Chinese one and so far so good.
Could you please make a video on watchmaking lathes? Im a amateur watchmaker and will need to buy my first lathe soon. Would be very helpfull to know some things to look out for.
If you live in the US, buy a sherline.
Thank you Kalle. I bought a Chinese Bergeon copy. It was a piece of rubbish. The stakes were not hardened and deformed the first time I used them, very disappointing. I did complain and eventually got a refund and bought a vintage C.V.SALVO model (with a 1945 date stamp on the box). A very useful tool in lovely condition. I look forward to your next stream. Cheers.
I’d love to see a video on how fit a brass bushing, or upgrading an barrel arbor hole to a jewel.
Top content coming thick and fast! Incredible! Well done
On the interwebs there's a guide by K&D on how to use all the different types.
I’ve got an early K&D New Style staking set made in the early 1900s. While it’s not an Inverto model, the number of stakes and stumps that came with it are quite extensive and all USA made
There may be many many staking tools but there is only one Kalle Slaap who is so wonderful, has vast experience and helps us a lot with his videos. Thank you Kalle. Much love to you from India.
Another excellent video, full of information for us beginners. Cheers Kalle!
I have inherited my father's small Favourite steaking set. I just need to learn how to use it now. I have a vintage pre-shock protection Oris that needs a new balance staff and the part to fit. One day when I'm feeling brave I'll give it a try.
By the way, i have a Favorit tool too, i bought it at "Rikketik" before i knew what i could actually do with it, but i knew that i would need one in the future.. 3 months after that i had a batch of secondhands to rivet to their hubs.. Favorit to the Rescue!.. i can't do without it now..
That was interesting to see all the different sets. I bought my old tiny little set on eBay as I didn’t want a Chinese set. It served me well and still does. I initially bought it before I owned a hand press. So I used the stakes to fit hands back to watches. I learnt in this video what some of the stakes are for, as I have never had to use some of them, and I’ve been learning as I go. Self taught of course but wit the aid of this channel, books, and online courses. Sadly, my hunt for an apprenticeship here is to no avail. The working watchmakers tell me to go away. The retired ones tell me there’s no future in it. The older ones have dementia. So videos like this make a huge impact.
The story of the physics teacher was heartbreaking. I never thought I’d tear up and begin to cry in one of your videos. But there you have it.
Another wonderful video. Thanks.
Great videos Kalle 😊
Thank you. Once again 'Kalle the Oracle'. So interesting and informative.
Great video. Thanks👍👍
Kalle I got three staking sets my favorite a 1930s Boley Complete very handy 2. a Swiss star very old and small set handy on old lady's watches #3 K&N large set with jeweling option seldom used too many options and large. I agree about using an oiler to check for plugged damaged two or thee staffs before learning that tip 😒
Next time i drop by, i want to see this Tool made by Mr Willemsen! such a nice piece..
Thanks for the tip on how to remove the broken part from the stake!
thank-you, that was great!!
thank you
Really great advice here. I wish I had this a few months ago when I bought a used staking set. Now I'll be able to check mine to see if it's any good. Fingers crossed :) Thank yo ufor another great video!
I love my 120-piece Lampert & Sons F. R. Inverting staking set. It has come in handy for a lot of stuff other than just watchmaking.
Staking under a microscope, i.e turning the stake 90° is an art that has been worth learning.
For myself I bought a vintage set online, from C&E Marshall. That meant I didn't have an opportunity to personally inspect it before I bought it, but I lucked out and most of the stakes appear to be in good condition. In my experience, it's the stakes that are hardest to come by. You can find lots of inexpensive staking tools online, and often they even come with the boxes. But so often there will be no stakes! Not terribly useful, that.
Thank you for sharing the story of that last set. What a tale.
It's pity that usually it could be bought only online therefore you can't check most of suggested properties. Only hope that photo on ebay is good enough. But I bought 3 staking sets for a good price and all of them are fine :)
Haha. Iv been struggling to pull my stakes out with my fingers. Now I know what the grabber is for. Xx
Great stuff. On some very old watches (square shape) the case back doesn't snap perfectly onto the case, there is a tiny space even after squeezing tight. How do address this and could you possibly do a video on this? Thanks.
Thanks Kalle, My first and most used watchmaker tool.
Great Vid
very good video kalle thanks
The Boley set usually comes with an additional disc that can be used on the base part just as a simple riveting block. However does anybody know if there is a particular purpose for the inner, brass-couloured part of that disc (it has holes in it too)?
I ve bougth two staking sets in my life, first one was a big mistake, cheap but old and unuseful , second one whas a complete boley set, with two parts and a complete set of staking, It whas the best buy Ive done in horology, because in this second time I knew what i need and the tips for buy one.
What is the purpose of the stake with a wide black plastic disc?
Excellent! Thank you!
More lovely advice and vintage stories. Thanks for that 😊
You can't hammer time without it.
Great video - as usual! What are your thoughts on the Chinese knock-offs from AliExpress?
Do the holes in the base plate always have the same size between the various models? If so, what are the sizes? I cannot find any reference in my staking set
Another great video! Is there a difference between US staking sets versus Swiss sets in the various sizes of the stakes? In other words, do you specifically need a US made one to work on American pocket watches?
Thank you Kalle
Thank you kalle. Another great video
Hallo Kalle. I always use a brass hammer when staking. I don't think you ever need the force of a steel hammer on such a delicate tool.Your thoughts please
Archie Perkins in his 'Antique Watch Restoration' books advises to use a brass hammer. This makes sense as it stops the top of the stake from mushrooming (burring) over. An iron hammer will always do this to a stake.
Hi sir I need such a tool kit, how can I get it?
At least no what to look for
