Shop Time w/T.W. Friends

Nice! Enjoy your time off.

We can’t roll ours over either, got to use it or lose it.

 

Apparently my company did not have a max amount on the roll over. The just updated the policy last month to allow no more than 80 hours roll over.

I remember when I was a teen my dad had accumulated ton of rollover vacation. His company got bought out and they forced him to use is it all before the acquisition was complete. He was off for like 3 months.

 

Got a new book in. This book is really awesome. Teaches you how to build a lot of the tools and gear cutters needed to cut the wheels and pinion in a watch movement.

I’m not going to make my own cutters. But I am going to buy a cheap rotary indexer for my mill so I can cut the wheel and pinion teeth.

I decided to print each part of the movement at 2.5:1, 5:1, and 10:1 scales so I can assemble them and accelerate my understanding of how they all work.

right now I am printing the Barrel drum that contains the main spring to store the movements energy.

 

Evening all, Christmas eve activities are in full swing.

Everyone else made yettis like this


I went a little different direction

I'm the only one who decorated both sides

 

One of the cats wanted out this morning - got to the edge of the porch and said naaa.

 

I can get behind this:

 

Merry Christmas my Wrenchmen friends!
Thank you for your company, laughs and shares every day.

My favorite Christmas image.

Spoiler: Not dirty, just a bit gruesome - fits my dark sense of humor

 

Spoiler: A non-Christmas Pun-ny

A dad joke maybe but nowhere near as gruesome as @RustyGreen ’s
