Hi Peter, very nice for first attempt. Could probably do with a few more parts on it though. Tell us all a little about how you went about it.

Hi Eric
I just finished my reply to others and see you mentioned my lack of parts :biggrin: I do and did agree.
I have trawled the IAP for info on how to make them, but there was no walkthrough I came across, so I thought about all the steps I thought it would need.
I tried bending some of the cogs/wheels and when that didn't work I made a wooden former which kinda worked, but not as well as I liked so I made a former out of Aluminium. I will post a photo of it if anyone would like to see it. I thought I could use the former to bend the dials, but that didn't work out great as it can scratch them. I ordered a block of PTFE to make a former for the dials, but I never got round to making it as I found I could easily bend the dials around transfer punches by hand.
I have found a source of Pearl ex if you still use it 21g & 14g.
Regards
Peter
