After Fall Break

Last week we took a fall break to recharge ourselves for the last intense five weeks before Christmas holiday.  During these five weeks we have to learn balance staff making, hour wheel making, and clean up all our tool making works.

This week Felix start his hour wheel making course.

With profile projector, we can compare the hour wheel tooth very easily with the original design.

Function check.

CJ and Stan learn how to restore balance staff from a pocket watch. There are a lot of details from measuring to making. We try to take as much note as we can.
