There is a strange perspective to those pics Roxy. Seems memory alters our perspective a bit in strange times.

On the lighter note of dread...
...I am a sneaky bastard and folks are finally learning that a large man is even more scary when suddenly you are on his bad side. Get to giggling as muppets jump when encountering this view:



Usually I'm behind it donning an OD green mask with the same camo netting in the background. Apparently very Predator like in the night.

I'm not evil. I just come off that way on the field.


Gots mad skillz, loves playing with matches.

Hi. ^^
Sure, but first! You must tell me what sort of camera you use! ((so demanding))

Um, as for actual fabrication of components from base metals, I did no such thing. I don't exactly have free reign in our machine shop. (yet. mwahaha) I have a large pile of antique pocket watch movements and parts, which I tend to cobble together to make some... things.... Here are some more shots of it:





She started out as an empty case, and I just added from there. There might be some larger views on my flickr page, the address for which should be in my signature, assuming I remember to include it. XD

Roxy - I just tinker. That's how I got into this sort of thing. ^__^

Very impressive HK! I've always been a fan of mechanical movements, wear one daily in fact.
I've managed to disassemble a few, but getting them together & working again has eluded me.
I do a fair job at repainting bezels though.

Roxy, you just said 'my Oma's yard'. Are you from Germany or Austria? If not, where else do they have the word 'Oma'?

Signatures are for wusses

Thank you. ^__^
Yes, I do so love Teh Gearz. I carry a pocket watch of some form or another with me most times.

I've actually been able to get them back together and working. The trick is with the jewels - if they're dirty or scratched, or you can get the pinions into them, you're f***ed. Well, and then there's the problem of the itty bitty things that you didn't know where in there that go flying off when you take it apart, and that you wouldn't even know existed if it hadn't been for the tiny blur going past your eyes and the nearly soundless "plink!" when it hits a hard surface... XD
