I have the tech drawings that I did for this in DeltaCad. Do you have a Cad program or would you like a pdf? Send me a private measage with your email and I can send it along. Thanks, Ryan

Hi Ryan, My name is Josh and I am currently studying horology at the school in Paris, TX. I liked the pictures of your Micro mechanics projects, they are similar to the ones that we do here. Our lathe and micro mechanics work is done in the third semester though. I was wondering if you could post the specs for the incabloc pushers because I would really like to make a set but that isn't a project we do here. Thanks and good luck with your studies, Josh

Hello Ryan (as well as all):

Firstly, I congratulate you on a wise conscious decision on your part to follow this dream.

Oddly enough many may not know, this type of work is projected to be a HIGHLY paid career in light of all the retired and currently retiring Watchmakers/repairers.

It is a quasi-dying art (TRUE watchmaking)!

I personally would have loved to pursue this type of career and looked into the Hayek School in Secaucus, NJ some years back... but the Lititz school is the IV league version of the NJ program.

How exciting for you...

I wish you lots of success, and just like everything in life - the more you apply yourself the more you gain from the whole experience.

Drop me a line when you're done and graduated, I'll have serious work for you!

Best regards,

Congratulations!  I actually visited your technicum last February with my middle daughter.  She was interviewing at Temple Univ. for there med school....we took a detour by Mt. Holly to visit with Roland Murphy at RGM and just dropped by the technicum without an appt.  Needless to say, all we saw was the outside but we had a great visit of 4 hours with Roland.....oh, we also went to the National Clock and Watch Museum.

I envy you, wish I could do what you are training for.

Hey Ryan,

I'd like to welcome you back also. I remember you posting that you were going to start this adventure. Congrats and post some more when you can.

Eric

This is brilliant...would love to see more!

Thanks

Hey Ryan! I am glad to see your progress. Thanks for sharing this. Are these tools yours to keep or do they belong to the school?

I recall you from a year or so ago posting on the watchmaking forum.  thanks for sharing some pics of your work and your experience thus far.  very cool!

I hope you will continue to keep us posted.  I've always wondered how you learn the art of watchmaking!

Kyle

Good work, you have the dream job for me,
