Made this Jacot Tool (or "Pivot Lathe") from a large door hinge, and stuff from the hardware store. Took about 2 hours (working slow) total. The inserts to hold the gear in place are made from wood dowel, becuase the hardware store did not have the proper size brass rod.
Please excuse the mess on my bench. It is usually very clean for working on clocks, but since I was doing a lot of cutting/tapping/grinding/screwing randomly, I made a mess shuffling everything around.
Works very well
