Mainspring Barrel In Progress! 🔧

Just finished milling my fourth attempt at the mainspring barrel! ⚙️ Each try gets me a bit closer to that perfect fit and finish. It's like seeing a puzzle piece finally snap into place. Can't wait to see this beauty tick! Check it out: https://thebitcoinwatchmaker.com/post/view/mainspring-barrel-in-progress/

The mainspring barrel is finally shaping up after several milling attempts, with each iteration bringing us closer to a precise, functional part. It's been rewarding to see the geometry and fit come together, though there's still some refining ahead. 🚀 If you're into craftsmanship or watchmaking, this is where the magic happens!

Mainspring Barrel In Progress! 🔧

Today we worked on the full mainspring barrel—straight off the machine after a rough pass! It’s been a journey of 4–5 milling attempts to fine-tune tolerances and polish the details, but wow, it’s starting to look amazing. 😍

Each iteration gets us closer to a precise and functional part. Seeing the geometry come together with proper fit and finish is incredibly satisfying. Still some refining left, but it’s definitely coming to life!

Onward to the next steps! 🚀
