Nothing too difficult or crazy, but well worth the time.
Today is a tool day. (Quiet Sunday) Making a few little tools I should have made a long time ago.

First up.....custom emery sticks... no more popsicle sticks.....

I think I’m going to take it apart, remove the black faux leather tape, and add a front panel that slides out from the bottom. The two metal hardware pieces you can see below are where I assume some sort of front panel snapped into place before.
that is a wonderful cabinet, I hope u show us the end result

Just for polishing and shaping. One 400, 800, 1200 and 2400. I usually just glue some paper to little wooden stir sticks or popsicle sticks. (True ghetto watchmaker) I like the harder (and flat) surface of the brass. I made one a few weeks ago and it grew on me fast. I've been switching out grades of paper on the one piece and decided I'd make a set.

The case looks like those on watches sold at aliexpress. I'm amazed how it turned out so beautifully. Of course your dial made it to look more and more beautiful too. Congrats @Belkin12 Image
