Tempus Fugit

 Week 17

The school has a new student: Sense from Thailand. He started work on the Technician course last week and is showing great progress.

STUDENT HIGHLIGHTS

Workshop A

Students:
    Art, Bernd, Cesar, Joan, Louis Lu, Mun, Nine

    Joan spent this week working on the pointed nose vise, delayed by the tragedy of glue separating while the piece is still in work.

 

Workshop B

Students:
    Craig, Ivan, Louis, Sense, Sheikh, Varun

    

Craig moved on from the dial of his watch to the mechanism itself, milling out the dial side keyless works based on the design of the ETA 7001.

The pieces fit!

 Louis has assembled his watch - a detent movement of his own design made entirely from scratch, and it is tantalizingly close to working. It ticks with help, but there remains a power delivery issue to troubleshoot.

Louis, Ivan, Sheikh, and Varun have also been spending time preparing for their final exam, which is fast approaching....

Thank you for reading!

Hope to see you again next week!
