Hello Everyone I have some more photos of what we have been doing today at K & H watchmaking competence centre. Hope you all like. This is also a link for more pictures and other information http://khwcc.blogspot.ch/2012/10/the-first-filings.html Thanks.

This is me filing a pair of Brass corners to fit onto our bench vices.

Image
This Is the finished product for my bench vice these protect the vice when working with different metals.

Image
This is a brass tool that is used for getting metal of of the files when it gets stuck. had to be filed and polished on the edges.

Image
And we also got a lesson on the micrometer and how to use it to the different tolerances.

So awesome..... Good luck to you and never leave school, the better you get the more passion you have the more money you will make. There is a guy out here, he is amish, rolex heard he was self taught, they took him away to school and now he still works at home on big time time pieces. So very very good luck to you. Learn as much as you can.
