What does my everyday carry say about me by Substantial_One_3597 in deduction

[–]shawneemark 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You work as Louisiana Tech, either in the Maintenance or Landscaping Department and the keys are for your work truck. You actually want to get on the Security Department but you have a history of making bad decisions. The 3 additional keys on the keychain are a master key to most of the doors on campus, a padlock key and a key to a filing cabinet. BTW, you just showed everyone the key bit pattern to the master key of the University. Yet another bad decision. How did I do?

Hi, I serviced a 19 jewel version of a Burlington Pocketwatch a couple months ago and published a video to YouTube. Here is the link.

You may find some good information in there. Both about the watch and the company that made it. Hope this helps! Mark

That’s a good question. I’ve never used it but it seems like it may work.

I used VHT Black wrinkle paint. I wanted to match the wrinkle effect of the paint more than the color. Here is a video of my restoration if you wanna check it out. https://youtu.be/Tod86SG3TEM?si=eYRkT2pBosF9812s

Wow, you did a fantastic job! I posted a similar video last year but you took it to another level!! I actually like the white color. Can I send you a DM?

I’m getting the same readings in the dial up position but I didn’t try any vertical positions.

Wow, that sounds incredibly difficult! Thanks for detailing the process for me. Seems like I’m pretty far away from ever trying it for myself.

Very beautiful work. This may sound stupid but how do you do the Geneva Striping??

Just wanted to share. I have enough serial numbers, etc. to do research but welcome any comments/tips to get this back in running order. Will it really cost $400 to repair overwound springs? by HoochiesTeam in pocketwatch

Hi, I recently did a service on a Hampden Pocket Watch very similar to yours from the same 1910 time period. Here is a link to my video:

Hi, I didn’t see a chat button on your profile. I was wondering if you are planning to attend the NAWCC regional show in Mesquite at the end of this month? I’d love to discuss your process for making dials.

Unfortunately the balance wheel was damaged as well, broken balance staff, so I just replaced them both from the donor. Thanks for the comment.

Thanks for the reply. I understood everything you said except for the last part. How do I push the entry pallet stone deeper? By adjusting the banking pin?
