This looks excitingly promising!
Thank you very much for sharing this milestone with us - I guess you fulfilled yourself a dream? As for the video, I'd suggest you upload it to youtube and then share it here. Youtube offers a sharing function which creates a HTML code line you simply copy & paste here, and you are set.
Best, stay with us and share more,
Magnus
Well, i'm pretty happy about how this turned out
Hey everyone, i hope you don't mind be posting this, but after six months of planning and working, i've finally seen this tick for the first time It is still very rough, but i will enjoy finishing it as well as i enjoyed making all the parts Thank you for...
Rough or Smooth
Ondrej Rough or Smooth: it's still your baby. Let's see how things progress. Good luck! Regards, MTF

You are right
it is a fulfilled dream and my baby. I did some very stupid stuff and had very stupid ideas, but as far as things turning out from stupid ideas go, this is probably the best one so far. here is the working video... or should be, i can't embed it, no matte...
You've done what 99.9% of us cannot do
Congratulations!!! Please tell us more. Cazalea
Awesome work
You've posted 7 times- and this is only your 7th? And you come here to show us this? Bravo sir. It may be rough- but you can always finish more. You've done more than most have now. I thought of a 6497 the second I saw this. I see I wasn't wrong. You had ...
[OT] finishing titanium
Hi Ophiuchus, I don't have the tables with me, but 6AL 4V sounds to me like type 5 titanium. It polishes without problems, I use platinum polish. Pure titanium, type 1, is way too soft to polish, the more the titanium is alloyed the harder it gets. Have f...
"Pretty happy" ... you master understatement...
That is amasing work Ondrej. Of course we want to see as much as you are willing to show us. I am impressed by the pure and simple design of all the parts I see. It is obvious that you have been thinking about how to make this for quite a while and have f...
Well,

Thank You for sharing, I to would love to see more. Kind regards Anthony
Here's what i could think off
that might be interesting to see. Also, thank you for fixing the video. Much obliged :) Here's my lathe i was talking about. Pretty standard lathe with two modifications - dividing plate (can be seen leftmost of the picture) and a plate to mount a millin...
A tourbillon ... and a perpetual calendar !!!!!!
I fall off of my chair. The high priests of watchmaking barely dare to attack such stuff. Did you say you are a professional watchmaker working since ?? how many years ??? Ondrej, your work is amaising. Congratulations that your perpetual is working I kno...
Thank you,
but, after seeing your watch building threads, i think you are the last person to fall off a chair seeing my amateur trials. I've seen what you can do, your work is amazing. I am not a watchmaker, let alone a professional one. I have been making knives fo...
