I am a master machinist who owns his own die and tooling shop. I have spent 65,000 hours minimum (25 years/50 hours a week/All year long) in a shop doing stuff like this. I just worked 14 hours today playing catch up on an order my nickel plating guy messed up. How do I relax? I watched this video. I appreciate the hell out of CNC and CAM but there is something therapeutic about doing the work by hand. I pay my bills with my hass, I stay sane with my Bridgeport, and I relax watching these videos. You ever need something lapped to less than .000010 total flatness and parallelism let me know. I make watch movements for fun and like to see how accurate I can make them so I have gotten stupidly good at finishing down to micron scale final dimensions. Keep up the awesome work! Hope to see more from you soon. If I ever manage to sneak up on an atomic clocks (thermal issues are whats stopping me right now and since we don't have liquid helium Dewars on our wrists I have lots of work to do lol...) ill send you a finished movement for your collection of precision.

I work in a newspaper printing factory and we use the same clutches, as you just made, only a little bit bigger 😃 Its use is 2 fold, as a timer to sync different parts of the machine and as a safety device. Our outer ring is made of hard plastic and if something would go wrong in the machine it would break, before the machine itself becomes damage. It is something like a torque fuse. 😆 I liked your work and video, very well made. 👍 Came here after seeing Martin's video.

For the engraving, try black shellac. No idea about suppliers in the US, but it's really easy to work with (soldering iron with copper end-bit is hot enough) and leaves a really beautifull finish if done correctly. Has been the go to for clock and instrumentmakers for ages

I was going to suggest "Brass Black" -- it reacts with the brass to make a black oxide layer that's chemically bonded with the base metal. It's very abrasion resistant and gives a dark black that "pops" if you use a clear sealant over it, which you should use anyway if you want your brass to remained untarnished and fingerprint free. Birchwood Casey makes small bottles of it for gunsmithing and it's usually available at bigger sporting goods stores that sell firearms.
