Hi everyone

Hope you all had a wonderfully holiday, I have got back straight into the swing of things, Learning to service the barrel and flatten wheels and end-shakes also oiling the winding and setting mechanism been very fun just finished our exam as well. But time is flying by so fast soon be finished and moving onto my next training should be also interesting. A screw broke in the main plate so I had to extract it very cool process. We have also been intensively learning cleanliness of jewels and the movement this is a very important matter any dirt or dust can effect the running of the movement. Also I would like to take this opportunity to thank my teachers and staff at the school for their support and help and for taking me on at 16 it been a big learning curve but i have had their support all the way trough and my teacher as always explained things in a way I understand so I would like to thank them for everything.

Also thank you all for viewing and taking the time to read my posts. :) :)

Your posts are always a joy to read! Seeing the math relating to the mainspring power storage is why as an engineer watches deeply interest me.
