pfenlon Posted July 9, 2018 Report Share Posted July 9, 2018 Roger was it yourself that made a tool up for this job? If so could you let me know how it was done please Pete Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Fireman049 Posted July 9, 2018 Report Share Posted July 9, 2018 Hi Pete ~ I made my own from some scrap tube. All you have to do is file the tube down to leave two 'keys' on either side. The other one is self explanatory. Tom. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

ed_h Posted July 9, 2018 Report Share Posted July 9, 2018 You can also make the face bezel tool from an appropriately sized socket: And for the more OCD among us, here is another way to do a tool for the bezels with six indents around the circumference: Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Don H. Posted July 9, 2018 Report Share Posted July 9, 2018 Depending on how much value one puts on one's time, the bezel tool set from Moss Motors for about twenty bucks might be a good deal. https://mossmotors.com/bezel-remover-tool-set Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Z320 Posted February 20, 2019 Report Share Posted February 20, 2019 (edited) Hi, don't know what post from Roger this thread is based on, but many thanks to all to give me the idea to make a tool for this job now. Ciao / Cheers, Marco Edited February 21, 2019 by Z320 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
RogerH Posted February 21, 2019 Report Share Posted February 21, 2019 Hi Marco/Ed, Snap. I put pins in both faces for each size of bezel. Roger Quote Link to post Share on other sites

If I have a tool in 2 or more sizes, it's always the one I need that is missing. With your solution, they would always be together. (Maybe both missing, but at least together.)

Z320 Posted February 21, 2019 Report Share Posted February 21, 2019 (edited) Hi, yesterday my wife laught at me when I showed her my tool: "You made a "Strickliesel"" (you might know this as a "fresh knitter"). That gave me the idea to size it down for the woodpeckers among you: make it from a piece of wood and 3 nails diameter about 2 mm. Pinch off the heads and smooth the pins, make them shorter than 5 mm, the circle over the pins is about 26.5 mm, ready. Have much joy with this work!

RogerH Posted February 21, 2019 Report Share Posted February 21, 2019 Hi Marco, we know it as 'French' knitting. Handy if you want some fancy string. Roger Quote Link to post Share on other sites

RogerH Posted February 22, 2019 Report Share Posted February 22, 2019 Hi Bob, I think everybody has lost their emoticons. Don;t know why. Surely there is not a cost to use them !!!! Copy and past from other forums works Roger Quote Link to post Share on other sites
