Hi. I am planning on uploading a lengthy service walk through post. Is there a way to save a post as a draft so as not to lose work?

I also think it might take me a while to type this up, so might need to edit across a few sessions. If not, what is the recommended way to post such a walk through??

The forum settings allows edits only for a short time before posting, so you best approach is to either edit offline, or do it online but never rush posting. and use the preview button top right to make sure it looks as you desire.

For lengthy posts I use notes (mac) and edit it before posting. 

No shortcut for adding the pictures to the offline text, right?? I suspect I just need to add them in manually after I upload the text.

If you use attachments you have to do that online, if you host images somewhere else you can just insert the link using bbcode IMG tag.

Here's my (belated) advice on a methodology for this:

  1. Prepare your text offline, in word, or a simple text editor.
  2. Assemble your pictures in a logical order for uploading.
  3. Insert the text into the post using copy and paste
  4. Leave markers or paragraph spaces for photos in the appropriate sections of the text.
  5. Upload your photos in the correct order - they will appear as links at the foot of the post text.
  6. Using copy and paste, take the photo links and insert into the main text as required.
  7. Review - and Submit.

Cheers,

Will

      Any tips to correct a sloppy error?

      By Geotex · Posted

      That's a good idea - shrinking down the nut and wrench size from the old casebook trick!

      I missed this earlier. The dial isn't going into the holder, it should sit proud of it. This is what I am currently using which I print for each different movement.

      I didn't think pulling to set position would work harden the spring, in that position it is stressed where the arm starts. By work hardening i meant rapid polishing at that point, a bit like polishing a pivot work hardens as it compresses the steel. I doubt polishing by hand would achieve much in that respect though. Its finished, arm polished up mostly at the join to the bridge's main body. I'm ok with it, the screw holes aren't great as i had to open them up by redrilling and positioning it was difficult, I'm not much use with a loupe, opening up with a file might be a better option for me or i could just use the correct drill size 😅. And the detent is way too deep, i had to guess that with the stem release out of position and sat on top, but i only took one measure and went for it, no slowly slowly catch your monkey 😅. First go I'm happy , well sort of, it works and thats a big thing for me, next one will have a bit more finesse.  Anyone thats interested, after filing, i used a 2000 grade home made diamond  micro file and then 20 micron film, the film is much better than wet and dry, more stable to use and doesn't shed cheap grade grit everywhere , then auto polish on a sponge pad.

      I'm assuming that every time you set the watch you are work hardening the detent spring, maximum hardening is  where it meets the plate due to maximum deflection.   That's why it snaps there.  The Young's modulus may be the same but after it's reached its maximum yeid strength it breaks.  My mechanic engineering is very rusty, correct me if I'm wrong.

      Ah ok yes that makes sense to polish it where the arm starts to form from the body of the bridge, i thought you meant the underneath of all the arm.
