I miss Capt.Kirk

Controversial opinion, I know.

I feel your pain. I think it's worth it to keep feeling it.

I have lurked here long enough to be sure that I do not miss Capt Kirk.

This thread is a great example of why this site is infinitely better without the dear cap’n.

I understand YMMV.

Trumpet Heralder:

Pardon me Captain, can you tell me what time it is?

Captain: Sure. No problem.

First you'll have to have a watch. Make a sketch of what kind of watch you want. Note all of the ideas on a piece of paper.

Then begin with the design of the watch. Sometimes you can start with the watch case, sometimes with the movement, but mostly do it all together. To make the design of a movement is a full time job. It takes several months from the first line to the last drawing of every part. Draw every part before making it. And leave no doubt to the size or how to make the part.

Each part of the watch is calculated, simulated and verified several times. Then when every drawing is ready, begin to produce the watch parts for the first prototype. At this time check out with which machine or tool is the best way to make the part. Often you’ll need to build first the machine or a special tooling to make just one part.

Once the machine is adjusted, make your parts. But it is a big error to make too many parts at one time. Why? It’s very simple, if you see, when you are working on the prototype it often comes to pass that a change must be made to a part so it will function better. If you have X number of parts in stock, well, you may be tempted to leave the functional, but inferior part as is. But if your stock is nearly empty it is much easier to re-begin to make the part. And, this is, once again, a reason why you don’t work with on stock parts; it is too easy to not make it better.

Making from scratch also means to begin just from bars and plates of metal. So when you make, for example, a pinion, you begin with a bar of 4mm “Sandvik 20AP” steel. If you want to make a plate or a bridge, use a disk of brass or German silver. It takes a lot of work to make a perfect part from scratch.

To ensure the precision of every part, use precise machines like a Hauser Jig-borer, 2 Schaublin lathes, a 4-axis CNC-mill and high precision control devices like the Hauser optical comparator. These and many more machines give you the possibility to make all needed parts for your watches, but also complicated parts like beveled gears.

Once the prototype is really OK, you begin to make the real one. And so on.

Oh. What? Oh. It’s 10:42.

Well played, sir.

Too many correctly-spelled words, kehaulani.

OMG… was just lurking this week after a literal decade-long hiatus, and thinking same thing! TH was never low on drama while the cap’n was around 🍿👀😂

And for all the chaff he spewed out, sometimes there was a genuinely interesting, creative, or useful thought… sometimes 😂
