Kalle, your videos are like mini meditations - your wisdom cuts through the noise and leaves me feeling grounded and inspired. Thanks for sharing your insights! Your calm wisdom is a breath of fresh air in the KZbin world. I always feel like I learn something new and valuable from your videos. Keep sharing!!

I'm just getting into this sport, but I've made radio controlled aircraft and I'm a photographer, spending a lot of sitting and concentrating time doing both. Background music or audiobooks are a must for me or I can only concentrate for about five minutes at a time.

If I may add my own one, as someone fairly new to the craft this one is important for me. Do one thing. For example then you pick up a screwdriver to remove the train of wheels bridge, you don't remove the train bridge, you don't remove a screw, you don't undo a screw...you do one thing, then you do the next one thing Check the screwdriver fits in the slot Turn the screw carefully so it doesn't slip out the slot Remove the screw driver Hold the screw with the right part of the tweezers so it doesn't ping off.... Don't think about next steps, let alone finishing the job, you do a series of 'one things' and let the finished job emerge.

Ok, Sunday morning at 6am (USA west coast). I'm rarely conscious at that time and not usually geared up enough to learn much before 9am sometimes 10am. It's good for me that that these videos are available on my schedule. 😊

I’ll be honest, not the first time I’ve been called a tool. Great advice. I’ve found the combination of microscope and adjustable height desk for when I need eye level work to be a game changer.

Kalle, thanks for all the information you share with us. I agree with most of your comments except for the music. In a quiet room it's easier to hear where the runaway watch part hit the floor. It helps to spend less time on hands-and-knees searching for it. 🙂 By the way, what's the brand of the coffee you drink in your videos? It looks delicious.

Yoga, I totally agree! I listen to vinyl or audio books. I do yoga, so control my breath, I use a microscope, I copy you and top up with orange juice! Also your last point, the more I learn, the more I realise I have so much more to learn, but I realise how much a better watchmaker I have become! Thanks Kalle!

Great advice Kalle, I’m a retired engineer but an aspiring watchmaker. I think I’m way too old to start this hobby because anything I do I have to be good so I don’t think I have the time to learn and get enough experience to be good. But I’m going to try anyway. I’d also like to see what are most important tools you recommend e.g. screwdrivers, tweezers etc. I’ve started just modding some watches to get an idea of this fascinating hobby. Again, thanks for the great advice.

Regarding upper back pain I stretch by standing up and put my hands on the backrest of a chair then a bend forward to stretch by arms back, then I press myself up to activate the muscles. Have worked wonders.
@fredflintstone80485 ай бұрын
Thank you! Personally I cannot listen to music at all while trying to concentrate. It's always been very distracting to me. It puts me on edge and I find myself getting angry and having lapses in concentration and make more mistakes. Different minds work differently and I've never been a person who could focus on more than one thing at a time that requires concentration. I know many who can. I'm just not one of those. I need absolute silence while working on something that requires good concentration. The quieter the better, in fact I do even better when wearing my noise cancelling headphones. Regarding listening to audio books I love doing that while driving. The one thing I cannot stand is someone on a radio or some other program who says stupid things trying to be cute, funny, or woke.
@tomholloway75668 ай бұрын
Thanks again Kalle. I’m really enjoying these shorter tips and tricks of the trade that you only get working with a mentor or getting a huge amount of experience by yourself. I find your comment about quieting the subconscious really interesting, having spent time competing and coaching a couple of sports at high level we strove for the opposite, quieting the conscious thoughts to all the subconscious to execute.
@dale40348 ай бұрын
I've finally found the time to watch the video. I have similar issues with posture in the coin business, looking through large batches of diverse coins takes time and concentration and often some research and occasionally a lot of research all of this trying to read the book or screen and the coin.

Thank you, Kalle. I have heard these rules of yours, perhaps not all in the right place, and I feel comfortable with them. Finally, I purchased my AmScope 3.5-45X. It truly changes "the game rules" for me. I am very happy and feel significantly better when sitting upright, seeing everything perfectly.

Hi there! Just for curiosity... does you microscope has a AmScope badge somewhere? I've recently aquired one form their website in Europe and it does not feature any brand what so ever. It's like a no-name one.. Thank you!

Kalle, I just recently found your channel while searching for information on an old Seiko movement I recently started tinkering with. At first I thought this video wasn't for me (I am NOT a watchmaker, I am just a collector who is trying to venture into understanding and tinkering with mechanical movements) That said, this was some great advice. I am a scale model builder and even though my small parts are nothing in comparison to a mechanical watch (I have nothing but the highest respect for watchmakers) your advice is something I will definitely apply to my scale model building. Thank you for sharing and I am looking forward to exploring and learning from your content. I have always been very skeptical of a lot of the current Watch Repair/restoration KZbin's so it is very nice to find an actual watchmaker I can trust. Thanks again for sharing your knowledge, it is very much appreciated. -David

Sound(noise) is a huge deal for me because I always keep my area completely silent and any noise scares me! Amazing to hear your comments regarding sound because it is spot-on. I am now trying to play music in my background to see if it helps. My lovely wife recently told me that my aversion to sound is not good-I would get upset if she made any noise-and I should get it resolved...but how? I too love audio books so maybe that will work for me. Thanks, Kalle.

A though provoking video. . . . The more you know, the more you’re aware of the things you don’t know . . . This is what Donald Rumsfeld called “the Known-Unknowns” And it’s what I am talking about when I say some specious article or commentary is quite valuable despite being mostly wrong. Some such ideas spawn a multitude of previously unconsidered questions. The least of it is reminding you to articulate WHY they are wrong. . In my Processual School, a scientific inquiry was a failure if it did not end with more questions than when you started.
