Found in my clean up in a bag just waiting. Made for me when Watch Part Pens were new and innovative, costly so I put it away to one day do my best with it. The brass sleeves cast at the time made me search for two days to match three kits to make it. Just recently there has been some discussion about names and variations in kit parts.

Finally I took the task on and I am happy with the result. When I ordered the blanks I was asked what time I would like the hands set at, I chose 5 am because she who must be obeyed rises at 5 am every day. I then sleep in until 6 or 7.

Sphincter in position I turned the blanks making bushes undercut from size on the shoulders, calipers at the ready. No instructions,what fun.

This is the result,more than happy.

Peter.
