Reply To: Workshop in progress – nearly there “Clockman1509”

[clockman1509]

Good morning all , sorry for all the different posts on my workshop (nearly there), but some of the photo’s got lost, my fault as I had to do separate post to put up the pictures. Well as I say I’m getting there, I will be taking delivery of a Lorch 6 mm lathe for my watches also a cleaning machine. these are coming from a clock repairer who no longer bothers with watches. After reading on the forum about bench drills, I will be on the hunt for one very soon. I am waiting for an order of hand tools, ie: let down keys and other small tools . I should be starting my first clock I a couple of weeks. Can’t wait, still it gives me time to follow Bob’s video’s on the lathe course, now my gravers have arrived I can at least practice using and hopefully making some of my own tooling in time for my first clock, pictured in the photo.I am lucky to be in contact with Paul (ARUTHA) who lives reasonably close to me, It is a great help to be able to phone and have a chat and get advice also the promise of coming to my workshop when I start my first clock. Thanks Paul. This bit is for William who admired the beams. Yes William it is a nice room to work in, the only trouble is when you forget and turn round quickly or stand up in the wrong place you get a very bad head ache for a couple of days, But what the hell that’s life. If any members have advise they can offer It will be much appreciated. Well I’m off to practice on my lathe with the help of Bob, so I will post again soon to give you all an update.
regards
Alan
