Designs for horological tools

[Sam StonesParticipant @samstones42903]

On another forum, a fellow countryman asks –

"Does anyone know how I can get hold of designs for horological tools by

Colin Walton? I understand that he used to sell plans, but cannot find

his details."

I've had a quick `shuftie' but found nothing of direct reference.

Thank Sam

I have a spring winder and a depthing tool from Colin Walton The spring winder is a bit on the large side I had a catalogue but can't find it I got mine sometime in the late1980 's I seem to remember a tool for cutting wheels and pinions I think he was based somewhere in Norfolk Sorry I can't be more helpful

A couple of mentions of Colin Waltons wheel-cutting device:

… I was struck by the uncanny similarity in the descriptions
