Stay safe and I look forward to more of your father and son(s) videos. 🙂

    Bravo to you Joe. You've taught Trouble a heckuva lot more than how to restore a watch. And it really shows.

  • @gmichaelhall
    @gmichaelhall Місяць тому +20

    Arguably, one of the most sublime yet profound moments in a Fathers life is saying to his son, “Go on then”.
    It’s an unspoken transpose of “ I’m right here and got your back “
    There is no video on the YT that contains such poetic content encased in a real world demonstration of watch restoration.
    1 of 1 scores 10 out of 10 and a star is born ⭐️
    Be well Joe and thanks

    I am a retired Dentist from many years ago. We had to cast and polish our inlays and crowns ourselves. Watching you polish these watches brings back good
    memories and gives me a warm feeling.
    I also love to hear you speaking with your son. He seems a sweet and beautiful young man.

    More than the father son aspect, i found this video gut wrenching. I couldn't stop thinking about the lives lost, the memories that cannot be made, the lessons parents can no longer teach their children. Palestine will be free, my friends.

    I taught my son how to use a sewing machine when he was a teenager and now he's pushing 40 and still uses the old clunker I gave him to sew and repair things. Even small things you teach your children can lead to lifelong use of those skills and you can be happy in your dotage (I'm 71) that your child benefited from your tutelage. Good for you doing this!!

    What a wonderful and sentimental episode. I really appreciate you sharing your knowledge with your children. As an educator, I think that it’s incredibly important that we not let our skills die with us. We spend a lot of time and energy mastering our crafts. To leave the world without passing that knowledge on would be a great injustice to future generations.

So great to see talent passed on to the future generations. Kudos...and thank you..!! - Do like the choice of strap..accentuates the watch

    When I first saw that Longines, I thought it was a lost cause. You restored it to a beautiful piece anyone - including I - would be proud to wear.
    Alien Fingers' fine-motor skills are coming right along! That's tough work for a 10-year-old, but he did it well (in my non-watchmaking opinion)! He did it better than I could have done it!
    I envy their relationship with you. For those of us who had "difficult" parents, seeing you work with your sons is a touching joy.
    Well done on all sides, Nekkid! Well done.

    Joe, if your dear son learns only half of your skills he will be a fine watchmaker and restorer. With luck, and patience, if you can pass on all of your skills he will be a truly great one. Yours has to be one of the most satisfying of crafts to learn and practice. Let us hope it becomes your son's passion also.

    It's been a long, long time since my kids were ten years old, Nekkid, but I am quite used to kids between about eight and fourteen, me (still!) being a Scout Leader! As such, I have to say the only way a ten year old can know and learn so much about anything, is because THEY want to learn. I can't imagine our Nekkid MAKING his kids learn about the intricacies of mechanical time pieces. They had to want to do it.
    And what confidence! No fear there about doing it wrong or even dropping anything. Just; "Wind the power down" - bosh; "Remove the click" - bosh, "Take out the canon (cannon?) pinion" - bosh. I am deeply impressed Nekkid, but why am I not surprised? It speaks volumes of the dad you are and the ease with which you pass on your amazing knowledge and skill. I wish I could do it. Which reminds me, tonight I have to visit a Scout Troop that is not my own and "teach them knots and pulleys! (It is not going to be easy.)

    Well I whole heartedly approve of this Joe. I hope if he wants, Trouble becomes a qualified watchmaker.
    Trades in this era are taking a back seat to office workers who really and truly believe they're better than blue collar workers, trades people and the arts who all enrich society.
    We need to remind these types that they don't actually produce anything - no street art, no fine thread machine screws, no music, no spool valves, no aboriginal interpretive dance, no hydromechanical fuel control units, no symphony orchestras - nuffing.
    The best way is to revitalize the importance of trades.
    You go Trouble. The world needs you. Your generation will save us from the endless hordes of supercilious office workers with their beige outlook on life lol.
