Review this video!
This video covers a ton of material on setting up your clock or watch-making bench and shop, and how to use your new shop. The best part is that it talks about shortcuts and tricks for those - like most of us - who are making do with a hobbyist's limited tooling. Topics include basic turning (on either a big lathe, or a desktop Sherline), dozens and dozens of hints and tricks, including modifications and improvements to Sherlines. Other topics include cutting gears and pinions, vertical and horizontal milling, creating and using dividing plates, drilling, creating your own drills, drilling pinions, making fly-cutters, and forming, hardening, and tempering tool steel, making a metal cutting table saw and a filing device, metal spinning.

Many good ideas for setting up your lathe. I got three good ideas from this video and for $9.99 that isn't bad.
Stright foward and informative. Gives many examples of different tools. I would recommend renting if you are interested in this subject.
Very good DVD. Lots of great information in an hour that it would have taken me years to figure out on my own. Highly recommended.
Interesting ideas, and a few neat tricks...definitely worth renting.
I believe the video was good, and it had a lot of good tips in it. However, I don't believe that most clockmakers have the big lathes that he was demonstrating his work on. So, about half the DVD did not apply to me.
