Client Heirloom

I made this blank for a client/penturner who found his aunt's 45-year-old Mickey Mouse watch in an old piece of luggage. The watch was worn but he wanted to keep the sentimentalism alive. I can't wait to see it after he turns it

Very nice !! .. Did *all* of those parts come out of that watch ?? I doubt it.

I should send you my very first watch to immortalize !!!

No....some watches don't have those types of gears....I do use what I can but usually a lot more goes into it than just what was in the watch.

Fantastic workmanship! I have a question do you take the watches apart?

The blank looks terrific.. Was it just a little scary to take apart someone's keepsake????

The tube is spray painted. I do take some apart myself. If I have doubts I take to my jeweler who doesn't charge me.
