WS-106: Flat Polishing Watch Parts
Course Dates: Saturday April 05, 2008; Saturday September 20, 2008
Often when servicing a watch the individual parts need to be
polished. Any part that is fabricated also must be polished to match
the rest of the movement. This 1-day workshop teaches the techniques of
flat polishing watch parts. The contents of the class will cover:
- Removal of rust from parts
- Flat polishing to remove pits
- Restoring original luster
- Use of simple hand tools
- Restoration techniques
At the end of the workshop the students will be able to return old
rusted parts to a high luster by the using simple hand tools.
All needed materials will be supplied although students may bring
their own projects.
The workshop will be held at the NAWCC School of Horology from 8:30
a.m. to 4:30 p.m. There will be two 15-minute breaks and a 1½ hours for
lunch.
Everyone is welcome to participate, although some experience in the
maintenance of watches is helpful.
