Thanks, but one mistake here and you'll just have to buy new hands. In a brain surgery, if something goes wrong, then… Image🩺ImageImage

No doubt. I do have a list of "people" I'd like to sign up for a small accident like that. LOL

Decided to sandblast just the midcase to give it a satin finish to help match the gen and its grayish color.

About to finish an erbstück flieger strap for a 55mm IWC WW2 pilots watch. A bit different from the original one but this turned out to be my interpretation. Made the roller buckle and the metal loop from scratch, used my soldering torch for the first time and blackened them. Also, on the way are rivets, 2 smaller for the lug side and a larger one for the tip after sewing ImageImageImageImageImage
