The Watchmakers' Staking Tool

"The Watchmakers' Staking Tool" is the most detailed description written to date about the use of the staking tool, one of the most important tools at a watchmaker's disposal. The book begins with a 14 page essay on the history of the staking tool and the Kendrick & Davis Company. Each of the stakes and punches are then described in detail. The remaining chapters describe the artful application of these pieces of the staking set. The book is profusely and beautifully hand-illustrated by the author, Archie Perkins. The book concludes with a catalogue of K & D tools.
