Finally Found A New Place...


Recommended Posts

Mark's move got me thinking about our move....

 

Since we are moving to Seattle in less than a week for my wife's new job, we've been scrambling to find a new place to live! Our first choice fell through because of an error by the listing company so we had to find something quick! We decided to move right in the middle of downtown Seattle.

 

We found this loft and fell in love with it! BUT, it going to be TIGHT! 800 sq.ft.Tiny to be exact...

 

Luckily, my shop sits in a tiny room right now and shouldn't take up much space..

 

But, I'll have great views!

Lovely looking location Don, I wondered where you had disappeared to. :-)

Been crazy around here lately! All the packing and logistical "Stuff" to deal with...

Also. I've been trying to get all my watch projects finished before the big move... :phew:

Remember not to be sleepless in Seattle! :-)

Ha! There may be a few Sleepless nights in Seattle! It will be the first time that my hobby will be required to pay for some of the bills... :(

Finally "Settled in Seattle"!

It's tight at 790sq.ft, but works for me! (Yes, that is my ice cold Peroni in the glass on the work bench...)

 

I also have a nice view from the loft of Puget Sound...

Excellent spot DJW, small works for me actually. The smaller the place the less a watch part has to travel! And speaking of travel, sometimes I believe watches have their own private travel agency for their parts...when they go, they really go! Believe it or not, I just lost a watch battery I was replacing...it simply ping or maybe pong to nowhere!

Good to here from you again Don. That's a really nice set up you have there and what a cracking view. I'm looking forward to seeing some more of your horological creations in the near future.

Yeah! So am I! Now that I chose to make a go at it as a small business, I really need to produce watches that people will like and would want to wear!

    • Couldn't see it on the tech sheet , picture is a bit fuzzy though . Is that to keep the pinions pressed on Marc ?
    • Doctor, If the train turns when hands setting, this means that the train is not blocked. And this is true for all kinds of trains design. The train is normally blocked by the lever. So, put the lever in place and try again. If the train turns again, search where You have placed some wheel upside down and it is not meshed with the next one in the chain. The other thing is the amount of friction that is needed to overcome when setting hands. Yes, the friction part here is in the great wheel, and it needs lubrication. If the parts are dry, then friction will arise, seizing will happen and thus risk of breaking of teeth in the train or breaking of joint wheel/pinion. I don't know this calibre, but I guess the clip is part of the friction device. But for sure it stays tilted, which is not normal. So, pay attention to it and see what is wrong there
    • It most certainly should be there, but it should fit better than that. Here is what it should look like.
    • This way is dangerous. The problem is that the collet is not expected to be perfect in this tool and the wheel used for the grinding is big and easy can touch the balance wheel. Can You show the bottom side of the balance wheel?
    • It shouldn't be attached    The pinions look independent of each other, not in alignment,  but the clip is bothering me or have you just placed that on the pivot end?  Found a cannon pinion maintaining clip in the tech sheet, is that the disk on the end and is broken.  Whatever happened to exploded diagrams 😠
