David:
Thanks for the info on the punch. I just pulled it out and it needs to be sharpened for sure. I seem to be developing a tendency to just lightly touch things to my own detriment. I suppose there are drugs for that. 
Anyway, I don’t have an electronic timing device, so I’ve just been checking them in five positions which takes about a week to complete per watch. Clearly, at this point that’s not problematic but as I get further into this, it will become so. Right now all my funds are going for machine equipment. The timer is, however, on my list.
Thanks again for the information.
Tom
