Over the holidays I fell and tore a ligament in my ankle. This has kept me out of the shop the last few weeks, hence why I haven’t posted much. Being stuck in a brace and on crutches has given me a lot of time to sit and reflect, as well as work on my book for @penguinukbooks ::silver linings:: During this time I’ve come back to one of my favorite projects I undertook. The little fairy ship automaton. I fabricated this sterling silver case from scratch and Abigail Bainbridge @bainbridgecons covered it in Shagreen. The mechanism was also in quite poor shape and provided an incredible challenge to get working again. It was an extremely rewarding project that I think of often. You can read the full story via the AHS journal.

I’m looking forward to starting work on these two characters soon. The first is a bubble blowing bear(!!!!) and the second is a cello playing bear. Both French and likely made by the Roullet & Decamps firm. What a pair of cuties. #craft . . . . . . . . #memoriatechnica #workwithyourhands #automaton #bear #cello #bubbles #conservation #horology #fun #wonder #mechanic #analog #polarbear

Making a new hairspring today! This started as an uncolleted overcoil spring. Lots of careful work rendered the spring flat and colleted. Now to pin and stud the spring for the platform! . . . . #horology #watchmaker #watchmaking #horologist #memoriatechnica #workwithyourhands #craft #mechanic #horologicaltools
✨If you’re looking for a unique gift, I’m offering guilloche sterling silver drink coasters made to order. A lucky someone is getting a set of four of these this year! Perfect for candlelight New Year’s Eve champagne. DM for details. ✨ . . . . . These are made with 18 gauge 3” solid sterling rounds backed with 3” of 1/8” thick cork and come in a black velvet bag. . . . #workwithyourhands #memoriatechnica #craft #guilloche #engineturning #engineturned #guilloché #bespoke #coaster #cocktail #whiskey #champagne #sterlingsilver #handmade #gift #roseengine
Bird sings the blues - well not really. I think he sounds pretty chipper! This birdcage is about ready to head home after an overhaul, whistle work, and a few feathers to brighten his faded plumage. Trying to match the faded pastel hues of his original feathers made him look bird of paradise-esque. 🦜 . . . . #memoriatechnica #singingbird #horology #workwithyourhands #craft #horologist #birdsofafeather
The little ormolu clock case cleaned and reassembled for the cutest little French clock. Old cleaning solutions left on the surface caused cuprous oxide build up. Careful cleaning and a little brightening with the finest and softest chalk brought back a little sparkle. #memoriatechnica #workwithyourhands #craft #horology #clockmaker #watchmaker #horologist #conservation #metals #ormolu #gilt #sparkle
