So, I have one of qtrain23's watch stands. It is a great stand, until I started modifying it. It was designed to be used, not cut up. I can still use this stand for a lighter watch.
So I needed to find another way to display my minute machine.
Picked up a piece of 1/8 x 3/4 aluminum flat bar. With a piece of wood and a round shelf pole, I was able to bend the wrist piece nicely.
I took a piece of 2x2 square tube scrap, and cut the "C" channel out of that.
Measured everything about ten times, drilled a few holes and bolted it to a card holder.
Sanded this damn thing a lot, then some more. Then hit it with 00 steel wool. Painted the ellipse red and buffed off the excess.
Not much skill required, just a lot of patience and time to measure and sand.
