I don't know how much more remote teaching I'll be doing, but I spent some time this summer improving my garden shed for video recording/streaming. I've replaced the logitech C920 with a GoPro Hero...
George Daniels' book Watchmaking is really a DIY guide and gives pretty clear instructions on how to make a watch from scratch.

For work holding, rather than cutter holding, 5C would be nice. :)

On the mill/drill? No one kind of thing regularly, but I do use it regularly for various different kinds of one off stuff. For example, I don't like standard trays for working on watches, so I made...
For the Mill/Drill I use either a really big MT2 16mm drill chuck, or MT2 ER16 collet chucks for milling, and precise drilling. I also have an ER16 collet chuck on a faceplate for the Sherline,...
I too have a Sieg mill (smallest, badged, funnily enough, Axminster) that I use mostly for drilling, but sometimes for light milling. For accurate, precise, small milling, I would be more inclined...
Second hand, but ....

I bought some washable linen (4 ply) ones from a swanky woman's clothing store (Plumo) for both me and my wife. A variety of colours, in order to coordinate with my the rest of my outfit. :)

Mine are A&F, although the blades are various brands. If I have to get any replacements (don't see why I would, however), I would probably get Horotec, but no stand. I don't use my A&F stand, as I...
"Senelity" and "serendipity" are nearly kissing cousins in the shorter.

With a printed dictionary there is also a better chance of running into nifty new words while looking up something. There have been a number of occasions where I've had to remember what I was...
Birds do it, bees do it
Even educated fleas do it ....

The shorter is also my "go to" printed dictionary (when I have access to my office).

I still spend nearly as much time in a terminal as I do using GUI programs, linux however.

Thanks for this, dunk. There is some internal reflections with the layer upon layer of tubes I have when going for the highest magnification. I think that I've often baffled my flock, so, perhaps...
I think that this is about the best picturing I can do using the highest magnification I have, and the equipment I have. I think that I'll spend more time looking, and less time fiddling now. :)

Nice pictures, Phil!
This one isn't as well framed, as I was testing a couple of things.

Do the experiment! Set up a very bright environment, with lots of light and lots of aluminium foil, then look.

I had the problem earlier this year. (Apologies for the bad picture.)

I don't think that I've change in weight very much, but I hadn't been getting enough exercise. Very little bicycle riding, and long work days. Then I hurt my back, and it was all I could do to get...
That picture looks okay. At the edges where there are shadows and light for good constrast is pretty sharp. I would think that the moon was pretty bright when you pictured it.
I don't know...
I've finally been able to get around to using this for a bit, and there is a waxing moon. So, a first effort.

Although it would be best to test it locally for logistical reasons, and it is a population where one's knows the health service, etc., that it was developed in England doesn't mean that it has to...
