The piece I'm proudest of

A pocket watch that strikes again

I bought it for a fiver at a car boot sale in Leek. The seller said it was only good for parts. I spent the whole winter on it with a loupe and tweezers.

In spring it struck the quarter for the first time. I've taken it to every show since.
