Sorry to interrupt… SSTEEL and all posting here… GREAT THREAD read from start to finish

 

Completely over my head but so cool to see the development of your workspace in such a short time

 

Awaiting the arrival of my first Rep (Two incoming: TC V6 and a Helenarou 5517) but am already looking forward to something breaking so I can have you look at it :D

 

Thanks for the entertainment!

Just cleaned the room and build up a new workspace. Outside the picture is a spacial chair for me working at the hight of my head. :) Finally able to organize all the mess! Only need to label the part boxes that'll be stored in a new closet behind me.... Too many parts to place them on the table :lmao: also bought a new lighttent to photograph the watches and movements without setting it up everytime :D I love it!

Looks superb mate. Talking of labelling parts boxes, I have done that but found myself having to juggle them around to get the part I'm looking for, so, to be quite honest my set up of parts bins as seen in my earlier photos sucks.

 

So with this in mind, I started looking for some wooden drawers, and found some on the bay, and bid on some nice vintage compartment bench top wooden chest of drawers on, and having seen what some of these sell for from past auctions, I didn't think I would win the auction at my place bid, but low, and behold, I won!

 

Height 22cms Width 38cms Depth 29cms. Six drawers, each draw has 40+ divided compartments :)

 

Here they are..

These drawers will replace the red storage bins seen in the photo below. These red trays will then go into some under the bench draws for storing parts etc that I don't need to use daily. Oh wait, I don't have any under bench drawers. Thats something else I need to get, or make, but probably buy :lol:

Oh, and as mentioned earlier about those clear plastic storage trays, I did manage to do some stocktaking last night. What a mundane job this was, sorting out screws. OCD has his downsides you know :lol:

That's a great drawer!! I have one under the bench with 5 drawers, that's where I keep the cases and bigger tools like the crystal press etc.

 

Tomorrow I'm going to visit the ikea with the wife... So, let's look for some nice drawers/other small part containers :) The ikea is so much fun, until you have to pay.... :lmao:

Ikea is great, I got a few large clear rubber work top protection mats from Ikea. I guess it will be there were I find some pedestal drawers or three :P

 

Good luck with your shopping :)

Steven, I don't quite understand what you are trying to explain, are you referring to the balance bridge top jewel retainer, the one that clips in and holds the top jewel? There's a few different types, I have lost the Novodiac first type...

 

NOVODIAC

KIF & INCABLOC

Ah, ok, I think I understand now. Your tool aids refitting the Novodiac jewel clip? I find that the problem is removing the clip, but if your tool, method aids the removal, and refitting, then its a great idea.

Looks like it works with the novodiac- press and turn to release or install...

A few more arrivals including a third head mounted magnifier for experimenting purposes, this one is bottom left, notice how it has a similar head band quick release, and tighten fitting like the Optivisor,*Top

Some more X-Acto blacks, number 11. These are not only ideal for opening packages, but perfect for trimming down your peg wood, and even removing date wheel overlays.

Poly Watch, perfect for removing scratches from plexi's. GS Hypo Cement, many uses this stuff, its brilliant, but I always seem to struggle getting the pin attached to the top back into the surgical type applicator tip..

Whilst I have a minute to post photos, I want to show you what I use to remove any moisture that has gotten into a watch case, or movement.

 

Uncooked rice can also be used. Basically, I use these instead of uncooked rice..

 

Silica sachets.

 

14140491927_4b744708fa_o.jpgUntitled by Micky.!, on Flickr

 

The put them in a container which has a firm fitting lid..

 

14347208363_c6052ce927_o.jpgUntitled by Micky.!, on Flickr

 

Then place the watch/movement in between the silica or uncooked rice, and fit the lid, and leave for two days. The Silica, or uncooked rice will slowly extract any moisture that has got into the watch case/movement.

I've got 8 x 0.5Kg bags of silicate (yes, 4Kg in total!)

 

I had a problem with slight damp in a car, and the garage has bikes in it, the bike garage wasn't secure so couldn't get the car inside to leave the roof off in the warm for a month to dry it out.

 

Found these huge bags of silicate and they did the job, a couple in the boot, one behind each seat.

 

Now hiding in the airing cupboard for next time :)

Similar to mine that Joran, not used mine much at all due to a lack of enclosure for the wheels, but will get some made, or get those on cousins you showed me ;)

 

Got these today..

None of them fit the bloody PAM I wanted to open though, so ordered a 41.5mm case back tool.
