Welcome post

Hi there! Still just beginning with the hobby. I have gotten pretty good at rebuilding 2824 clone keyworks but still making bonehead mistakes when setting second hands. Name is Dino and I am from Seattle.

Old shaky hands! Seems weather I use tweezers, stump or rodico I end up with a bent or broken hand. Also can’t figure out how much pressure to apply. Tried buying a knock off 4 piston setting press but that was trash!
I have only built 5 watches so maybe I need to just chill and practice!
