Progress Update: Adjustments and Jewel Placement
Just found out my mainspring barrel was a bit too chunky, poking through the case! 🤔 Had to shuffle the wheels around—hoping they don't get too snug. On the bright side, using the same jewels for multiple wheels keeps things simple. Tomorrow's all about tackling the fourth wheel and sketching out those bridges and plates! 😅 Check out the pics and more on my blog: thebitcoinwatchmaker.com.
Progress Update: Adjustments and Jewel Placement
Today, I discovered that my mainspring barrel was a bit oversized, actually protruding through the case. 🔍 This meant I needed to rearrange the positioning of the wheels to make everything fit properly—fingers crossed, they won’t end up too tight!
On a positive note, it looks like I’ll be able to use the same type of jewels for the center, third, and fourth wheels, which simplifies things nicely. 😊
Today, I added jewels to the third wheel, and tomorrow, I’ll continue with the fourth. I’ll also begin planning the bridges and plates, bringing the design another step closer to completion.
🤩
