Calm before the storm

 Some good weather came to wish us a good weekend in the end!

View from the workshop 
Concentrations sharpen as 4 senior students prepare for their week long practical exams next week. This Friday they say their theory exam and spoken exam with the professor.

Ivan has also been producing multiple ETA 7750 movement holders this week with the school’s new 3D printer.

The finished product 

Craig has been making progress on his school watch and this week he has been working on the great train bridges. Milling out the general shape and drilling through holes.
Coming along 
Art constructed a small jig to hold pallet fork jewels to be polished on a tin plate. The jig can be attached to the polishing tripod he made.

The students on the micro mechanics course are currently working on hand turning winding stems. Learning all the skills from turning, hardening and tempering with polishing.
