After two years of grueling work, I am done with watchmaking school. The last three days have been final exams. I find out next week if I get a certificate (if I passed the finals). Having a WOSTEP certificate in watchmaking is like having a PhD from MIT. I enjoyed school, but it was fucking hard. The first year was spent machining, and making small components by hand on a milling machine and lathe. The smallest thing I made was a balance staff with a conical pivot of .05mm in diameter, with a mirror polish. All done by hand. The second year was learning about making precise adjustments to watches, and overhauling them.
I have a few jobs lined up, but Im going to take a few days off, then get on the ball. BTW, did I mention that I am glad to be done? Going to school from 7:30am to 4:30pm five days a week got old after the first week (IMG:style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif) Im off to do a valve adjust on my car now, and because I dont have to get up early for school tommorow, i'll probably have a few beers tonight (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beer.gif) |

JP's course? I thought we were talking about Chris' course...........oh, AX course, of course. I prolly ought to get busy sketching somethin' out.
Lessee.....914s don't like tight stuff cause of their long wheelbase. We're good at sweepers and quick changes of direction.....and we gots lots of HP. ...well, if'n ya don't, ya should. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif) I think that good brakes are gonna be needed also. Humm, I gots a plan....but am open to suggestions. |
