GUEST STARRING

Workshop A

Students:
Art, Daniel, David, Harold, Miguel, Nine 

    This week, Miguel continued adjusting the escapements for his 7 movements and he also made a custom anvil and pusher for his Horia to remove the guard pin of his P7001 pallet fork.

Anvil (Left), Pusher (Right)
The main bodies are turned from brass and the contact points are made of blue steel that have been pressfit.

The tips of the steel portion have been polished to avoid scratching the pallet fork when in use. The body of the brass anvil has been knurled for better grip and a groove was cut into the pusher to make it easier to remove.

    This week Daniel has shaped the spokes for his center wheel on the milling table.
