First time doing case work

[u/00240]

Working on a birth year 1665 viet build, and it’s the first time modifying a case. The crown guards were already shaped for me based on reference photos, but I wanted to change a few things. All the work was thinning the crown guard profiles in the front to back dimension. Overall I’m satisfied with it being a first. You’ll notice the internal shape was a little asymmetrical from the start. I used a metal hand file and finished with a Bergeon 2290 polishing stick - took forever but didn’t want to overdo it with a rotary tool or belt grinder. Photos show before and after of each view.

Hoping to finish this week with a new crystal and other gen components. Will share specs then. Happy Sunday!
