  1. Working on this scale is really difficult; It is necessary to be very precise because a small error of a few tenths of a millimeter is enough and the measurements no longer return .... In the work you have to caress the wood, obviously only with manual tools, perfectly sharp chisels, fine sandpaper, precision tweezers, double magnifying glass (now I don't see it more closely). The gluing must also be very delicate and the excess glue must be removed immediately. For the hold compartments the thickness of the boards is 0.4 mm, and the glue must take hold on this minimum thickness ..... But this scale is very exciting for me!
