@michael mccann ... Kinda crazy, so much radioactive material, for such a short period of useful functionality. A mere 1,600 years for its half-life, but barely half the usage life of a tritium based illumination. One has a short half-life that limits it usage period, the other can't last even half that time due to the decomposition of the zinc matrix it's bounded with; but then thousands of years of radiation still left.

[@georgemills3006]

As a child, in the 1950's, I used to watch my Father strip down, clean and re-assemble time pieces for friends and relatives. I wouldn't talk, move or twitch, I was fascinated by what he was doing. I imagine you sitting there with a Jewellers glass, as you do this. My Dad never explained what he was doing, all I knew was that my Dad was a magician who gave people back what they needed. You speak about different oils and lubricants and cleaning methods. My Dad had lighter fluid for cleaning and 3In1 Oil for a lubricant. I now wish that I'd asked questions and asked him what he was doing and to teach me what he was doing. Hindsight gives you 20/20 vision. Carry on with what you're doing, I've shed a little tear for missed opportunities, but I really enjoy your professionalism and obvious love for your calling.

More men like this one is what this world needs. There used to be more, before we decided that money was the most important thing. How foolish we were. Past generations learned that lesson for us, but we didn’t take heed. Now, we are seeing the results, but it isn’t over yet. We still have a long road to travel. I am sad about leaving this broken mess for the next generation. But my travels are almost over now, so I do my best to advise my family and friends. I listen to the old radio programs fro the late ‘40’s and ‘50’s to keep my spirits up. I can hear a maturity and optimism in their voices. It is unmistakable, like a Southern accent. I am reminded of what we once were and could be again. Or should I say, will be again.

[@paulcackett6509]

Very adventurous with the nickel plating so well done, the key with good bright nickel electroplating ( you can do semi-bright plating as well) is agitation best done with air to avoid burning caused by depletion of chemicals near the surface of the work. Also nickel plating is normally done at about 60C so you normally need a glass beaker on a hot plate. Generally nickel electroplated at less than 50C will be dull. The easiest solution is to use an electroless plating solution but you need to heat this to 60C and stir it, this does not require anodes or electric current and can give very nice results all over the work.

My grandfather was in the business of repairing and manufacturing watches. What a beautiful profession.. Love and admire your work. All the way from Sri Lanka!

I love the way you narrate - it's poetry, really.

Absolutely loved this, glued to your every word and move. Love what you've done bringing this beautiful piece back to life! Everything you have done is sympathetic to its age and character. Massive well done, loved it!

Seriously, I haven't watched a video of this quality in a long time! Enjoyed every bit of it; the homey vibe, the little ones laughing.. everything, simply everything. I was sad it ended. Well done mate!
