I'M SORRY!

[Ammar]

No really, I am sorry for showing this.

I asked if he's trolling in the comments and still waiting for a reply.

Maybe it can work for a while with some loss of power reserve due to the softened steel in the joint area.

It'd never work, the spring is mangled beyond belief, the release of power would be random and inconsistent and the watch rate would be sporadic at best .

I do not think you can even fit the spring in the barrel without breaking it again anyway, this guy is either absolutely clueless or the biggest troll the humanity ever known, I lean towards the first option tbh.

First spring was trashed again after softening the coil next to the broken one with the bloody huge blowtorch. Then miraculously turned into a different spring. Shame the camera didn't pan back so we could see him wearing his top hat and tails and waving a wand. The sexy magician's assistant might have been the only one worth watching here

What's more annoying is the people in the comments, they thing he's doing a very good special thing 

[rossjackson01]

"What's more annoying is the people in the comments, they thing he's doing a very good special thing"

"miraculously turned into a different spring

Even as a novice I would never have considered such an action acceptable, or to try to con people. Going to continue running.

Not being in the UK and knowing nothing about the school, this sounds to me like the BHI might be a little scorned on this forum? (you don't have to answer)

[RichardHarris123]

The BHI will accept anyone who pays their fees.

accept anyone

And will they give any paying member a diploma?

[RichardHarris123]

No, for a  qualification you need to sit exams but anyone can join as an associate member.

No. They might be desperate for members but not that desperate.

Lol no , you have to sit exams and pass them to earn qualifications. Membership entitles you take their DLCs, at a cost obviously,  free monthly magazines and i guess a few other perks.

[oldhippy]

One of the perks is how to f**k up mainsprings.

I am reminded of the saying,

"If you have nothing good to say, then say nothing."

Seems rather apt here.

I did my time with other apprentice fitter and machinists. I have since worked with other fitter and machinists.

How one turns out is directly related to how much one listens, learns and applies oneself.

(from someone considering doing the DLC course via BHI)

If thats in their curriculum then there is no need for me to study that part, i can expect good marks here.

Very true Michael, i take this stance and have spoken this phrase many times during an argument, its the perfect finisher,  works every time and opens the door for you to leave without saying another word.

I can't agree in this case, someone should of pointed out the total unprofessionalism. 

Your mum etc buys a cheap and nasty vase or whatever, oh it's lovely mum.  

Someone posting utter s%£t which may influence others, needs correcting. 

Where would science/ engineering etc be without people pointing out the mistakes?
