Carve out the links using a 1/32" bit and 1/8" Walnut sheet.
(Optional)Take 1 sheet of Soft Maple and cut in half, then glue the two sheets to each other and let it set over night. This will make the chain a little thicker
Set up the Maple sheet in Carvey and open the Watch Chain-Walnut Easel Project
You will have now carved more than the required number of links, which you may need because the links are delicate and may break.
30 minutes
Open the Watch Middle Easel Project and carve out with 1/8 inch maple sheet. Measure the sheet carefully and adjust the depth of the pocket so that when assembled the movement’s spindle sticks out.
Tip: Start of with a less deep cut and sand off the face to the required thickness.

Clasp
Watch Crystal Glass 30mm diameter
Movement
Pins
Stick the movement to the Watch Middle using superglue, be careful to apply superglue only to the sides of the movement

Cut the Pins to about 10mm length and tap them into the links. Press the glass into the Watch Top.
