I like the idea of 'models' that can actually do something. So my current attempts to build a large model / small reality vertical engine.
Once that is done (in some decade in the future) I am toying with either a clock or a watchmakers lathe. Which will disappoint the OP of the converse post, no doubt. I had a bit of a flirtation with the idea of a watch, but, having watched (sorry) some You Tube videos, I suspect is beyond my competence – my manual coordination is not the finest.
I also want to do some casting at some point, but lack the space and facilties.
My final 'inspiration', I suppose, is some jewellery for SWMBO. Perhaps that might soften her heart towards the Art…
You will notice a common theme in all of this. I'm inspired by things I've never done, don't have any evidence of the skills required and which are rather hard.
Perhaps I'm not alone in that?
