you should sell stuff on a design community site, I bet it'll work.

I want to hear more about the watch making/repairing end of things. How did you get into this? How long will you need to go to school? Is there a demand for this skill in your area? Will this be full-time or something you do on the side?

Well it came from the desire to make things with my hands, physical things that will last. I didnt want to waste my life in front of a computer or sheepishly contributing to the business machine anymore. So the watchmaking program in Canada is 2 years. Then one can further his education in Switzerland for a couple more years. Full-time, yes and no. I'll be doing this mostly in the winter times. Restoring old pocket watches and clocks. In the summer, I surf, I give surfing classes, make and repair surfboards..And in between, I also give seminars in high-end retouching to the photography department at this college in montreal. I wont get rich from any of these activities, but damn, life is good. :)

- Freakin' awesome, meok. Congratulations.blaw
- I've only had one encounter with a clocksmith. The guy was incredibly knowledgeable on mechanical time pieces.blaw
- I'm always impressed when I find someone with such a finely honed skillset, particularly one that is in less demand.blaw
- In this case he repaired our grandmother clock, which hasn't had a glitch in more than 13 years.blaw
- Anyway, best of luck and congrats again. I hope you scrape up enough dough to be comfortable.blaw
