I made some simple plans, above, with the key dimensions. I know it's a bit rough and ready but I didn't see much point in carefully drawing out plans, at this stage, when the real planning is going on as I make the watch itself. The next iteration may be a bit neater!

For the enamel cross project I needed to cut out sections of the cross that could be placed together with a high degree of accuracy. The shapes are quite complicated having an inter-locking jigsaw-like joint, see above. For this purpose I decided to use my CNC Sherline mill and program some tool paths.
