My other interests are model railways and free flight model aircraft, both rubber powered and using small diesel and glow engines. I have an interest in various types of escapement, and I have a few books on watch and clock repairs. I have a room at my disposal and a bench, with good lighting and a small but growing selection of hand tools, with a small metal tool box, but I'd like to make a start on something, despite my limitations. Is it possible to do anything with this gear besides sell it and use the cash to go towards a secondhand watchmakers lathe? I did have an amount built up but this has had to go on car repairs. Well I have a basic 'Adept' in good condition with a 4 jaw chuck, and an old set of turns, without the mandrels. I'd like to make a start in clock making and repairing as a hobby, but I don't own a lathe.
