Hello from a new guy

Howdy. I am new to DMS and inwanted to say hello… I am a lawyer for my day job, but i am also a school-trained watchmaker. I will tell you the story of why a lawyer went to a Swiss watch training program someday if you are interested… I have Boley watchmakers lathe equipment and have had a Sherline lathe`and mill in my home shop for 20 years. I took the micro-machining courses in watchmaking school. I regularly make fixtures and tools for watch repairs and restorations. I have an interest in expanding my micro machining knowledge to include the larger machines. I hope to finally machine a case for the movement i made in watch school in 1988.

I hope to meet some of you at the next machine shop board meeting.

I also plan to sign up for the Bridgeport class as soon as my passing quiz score gets registered.

Thanks, and i look forward to being a contributing* member of the community. If you have questions about watches, give me a shout.

Hello, our next meeting is this coming Saturday. Look forward to seeing you there.

Welcome! Looking forward to meeting you.

That sounds like an absolute dream!

We always are short of teachers, always, and I bet you would have a lot of experience you could share.

Oh you and @John_Marlow (Chris) are gonna have some machine shop stuff to talk about.
