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

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

Here, and Here

… I was struck by the uncanny similarity in the descriptions
