Maybe you need a cycling proficiency exam next, Joe!   In all seriousness, I'm really glad you're OK. Superb updates by the way, and it's awesome to see someone do a job that a lot of us would do as an unpaid hobby if we had the skill. |

Haha Thank you Driver8 I think I do need that course lol. And yes I am fortunate to be able to do this as a job and get paid for doing what I love. But I am hoping when I set up the workshop for my employer I can add some things that will be able to show customers what we do and that we don't just change batteries and why it takes so long for a service turnaround. |

Welcome back Joe! Nice work as usual. Keep it up.  As for your biking accident, keep that up too. More practice the less you'll fall.

It's great seeing someone else so young already on the watchmaking path! I must say, I am very jealous of your ability to attend watchmaking school - I've just started reading your updates and they're very interesting. Keep it going |
