Just for Hoofy

No site up yet, but I thought you might enjoy seeing a vintage Citizen auto going back together last Wednesday. Please excuse the amateur videography and apologies it's nothing more special but it's what I happened to be working on when I had time to stop and take photos

ps: no, I didn't squeeze the penny in there - it's just for scale in the photo

Are you planning on returning to watchmaking sooner than you thought then?
Hoping to be up and running locally in the next month or so - just negotiating for a workshop so I don't have to clutter up the spare room And just cos she's out of the cupboard doesn't mean I've unlocked the dungeon that the cupboard's in ;P

Cool, keep us posted!
Will do If the workshop discussions fall through I'll be going ahead anyway as we have spare room here but, from past experience, I'd rather not be working from home. It becomes impossible to put a job down until it's finished so you end up with no life outside the work room!
Well, we didn't get the workshop but we're negotiating for another one which looks more promising.
Meanwhile, local adverts went out last week and my partner's thrown up a very basic page at www.ournet.org.uk which will be turned into a proper site and proper URL pointed at it in the next few weeks.
Since Thursday we've had a handful of batteries, a couple of reconditioned watch sales, orders for a clock glass and some Omega watch parts, a pocket watch overhaul, 4 watch overhauls for a Tissot, Certina, Seiko 5 and Timex auto (sentimental value apparently on that one :P) and a house-call for a Dutch wallclock.
Also have a Rolex, an IWC and about half a dozen assorted clocks that people have asked if I'll quote on (won't count them till they appear though).
If that's how it's going out of the blocks, think it might be a go-er

First batch of clock repairs arrived this week - I know it's not a watch but, in case anyone likes clocks as well, this is a brief walk through getting an Elliot 8 day running again for the first time in the owners' memory
