I read somewhere that some trupoise found in the wild have an alignment problem. I cannot remember details, but when I got mine, it was the first thing I checked. -

Different methods for different reasons and different levels of skill. The methods change as the skill improves, it's just a way of progression and evolving. The reverse is true, when a skill deteriorates, the ways change to compensate. -

Desperately in need of some human interaction please 😅 schools off for Easter and I haven't left my house for four days. I'm busy sorting and partially stripping back to identify old movements for donor parts, but warm and cosy in the Watchroom. I've managed about 50 up to now since Monday with only one unidentified ( which I might put up for Cluedo later ), so slowly filling up the new donor draw. Strange that 25% of them are BFG movements. Probably another 100 or so to go through. The Flume book I'm using is easier to navigate than the Bestfit, this one dates to 1972 and is laid out better than the older editions, as far as I know there are more recent editions published. -

Which is why, I tend to recommend shimming specially to beginers. Lets not forget, to beginers, getting a non runner to tick and perhaps tok 🤩 is best encouragement. Regs -
