seeing as how my blower for the furnace burned up and I'm being lazy about getting something to replace it with, I started back into playing with pocket watches again.
I won this 8 day clock off of evil bay a couple weeks ago,
it was missing the back of the case and for all the web surfing that I've done I can't find another one that has a front like this one, but that wasn't the problem.
I found a case but wasn't sure about if it was what this clock needed so I made one. It took couple try's to get the thread right, its a 2.562 X 0.75 TPI metric. once I cut the ring which is a little thick (plan on making one out of solid brass also)
I hit on the idea of why not put in a picture window I had some 3/32 thich lexan. it took a few trys but I finally got one that was just big enough to put in the press and bow it so it would snap in hopefully stay there,
