lol yeah there was once that I took a drawing down to the machine shop and it had specified a .04" inch hole drilled down to like an inch and a half, and they laughed me outta there. The general rule is you don't drill deeper than 10x the diameter, for every scale, but especially very small bits.

Also, isn't it weird that our brains really seem to tolerate 3D CAD where the view is zoomed in, but the perspective is still like that from infinity? I hope that makes sense. Like always using binoculars, y'know?

So maybe I missed this, but is this all for watchmaking? Or general application? Or moreso just for the journey? Looks like so much fun.
