Thread: Watch Parts - The Baron

Better and better Mik, I hope you are getting a fair price for your efforts on these "specials" I see you have realised you don't need to go overboard with gears and bits ,it is even more effective I feel with less ,as less is sometimes "more" hehe cheers ! John

thanks John

the first 2 from a couple of weeks ago sold..... BANG gone, and that was before they hit a display case and the Pink one from this week has all the ladies sucked in

as to the amount of gears i just put them on until i feel happy

still a few more to show over the next couple of nights i can't post the photos all at once

MIK

On the subject ,but slightly off ? hehe, I am finding over time that using the plier type bending tools with plastic forms is a bit is a bit time consuming, and sometimes with smaller gears they dig in and need to be prised out of the plastic ,I am thinking of making up a metal set with a cam action to (A) speed up the process with a bit less effort ,and "B" a bit more control .with possibly some interchangeable dies for different tube sets , will see what I can come up with hehe, cheers ~ John

That's a cracker MIK.!!!!

I particularly like the subtle colouring.

John I'm surprised it's taken so long for this idea of yours to
see the light of day!! I suppose the thought of making the
"machine" has been a sticking point?
