🔧 This week in the workshop at Upton Hall: Making Small ComponentsOur students are developing their practical skills on this four-day course, learning to make and assemble precision components using traditional hand tools and machinery.Working from technical drawings and to tight manufacturing tolerances, they’re gaining valuable experience in machining, shaping, forming and fitting components to create a functional assembly.The course provides a strong technical foundation for clock and watchmaking, supporting Constructing Clock Components (Unit D2) and preparing students for Constructing Clock & Watch Components (Unit D5).Great to see these essential skills in action in our workshop!Interested in developing your own horological skills?
