Good day all and a Happy New Year, I recently posted an update on my ongoing "wooden horology" project depicting the machining capabilities I have presently achieved. The highlight was in the production of a pocket watch scale balance staff out of boxwood in "one chucking" using an old, Light...

Greetings good fellows and Happy Holidays, Once again, quite some time has passed and I have engaged upon my studies in university. I bring here a "compact" update on the aftermath of my concluding high school semester's wooden watchmaking endeavour. Within my previous thread, Enlarged Wooden...

Hi Everyone, I'm nearing the end of the design phase for my watch and I'd like to know if anyone could help me machine the case? I can't seem to find any shops nearby capable of doing it. I would have no problem paying for materials and labor, though I'm a high school student so my budget...

Hi all, Thought I would share a project that I've been working on for the past few weeks. I'm not a machinist by any means, but I do have access to a machine shop-- nothing special, no CNC, just a nice little lathe, a milling machine, and a few other assorted machines... I'm pretty much...
