Hi, I'm Alec. Just setting out on watch making, 3 months in but taking the learning part pretty seriously while trying to not disappear down the tools rabbit hole. I'm passed the general...OMG ALL THESE PARTS...stage and turning towards techniques to repair and make rather than just the clean and regulate. 

I've made every possible mistake along the way and will continue to do the same, try not to laugh too much. Shout out to the, exploding fully wound barrel bridge dissolving jewel shellack in IPA yoke spring pinged off into the fourth-dimension oh I think that just broke, crew. You are my people.

      I dont think mine is. Its an idea to have them all in one place if possible, then a quick screenshot will have them saved. Unless anyone has any other ideas of how to reconnect

      Broken lug

      By Rixy · Posted

      I have an Enfield mantel clock with a broken mounting lug (see photos). Does anyone have any suggestions about the best way to proceed?

      Yup watchie you are entirely on my wavelength with this , you actually said what i was hinting at, what if something happens to mark ? Will someone be able to take over ? Its not that long ago that the forum was down and Mark had to step in and fix it. And you are right a wealth of information that does not exist as a whole anywhere on the planet will be lost. Can that be archived elsewhere? It would be an absolute shame if the plug was pulled without warning, i would like to think Mark wouldn't do that to us. And like i said in my first post i talk about things other folk might be affraid to.  So lets not skirt around anything. It might be nice to have a place where we can all drop our emails just in case so we always have that contact. Can you make that happen  Old Hippy ?  i kind of think of you as the pops of the forum 🙂
