One bench.
Six precision disciplines.

Electronics repair, CAD design, 3D printing, manual machining and watchmaking — diagnosed, designed and fabricated by the same hands, so your problem doesn't have to travel between three different workshops.

01

Why one person, not three vendors

The problem
A cracked bracket, a dead sensor, a stripped screw, a seized movement — most small precision problems need more than one skill to actually resolve: diagnosis, design, and fabrication. Splitting that across separate specialists costs time and loses information at every handoff.
The approach
Micron Works is a single bench covering electronics diagnostics, CAD/reverse-engineering, 3D printing, and manual machining on a Sherline lathe and Proxxon mill — plus dedicated watchmaking work. One person follows the job from fault-finding through to the finished part, so nothing gets lost in translation between shops.
Who it's for
Private clients with a watch, instrument, or device worth repairing properly; small companies with an odd one-off problem — a discontinued part, a broken housing, a prototype bracket — that doesn't fit a standard vendor's catalogue.

Services

Diagnostics

Fault-finding & reports

Electronics diagnostics, technical reports, and insurance documentation before any repair decision is made.

Electronics

Repair & rework

Board-level repair, liquid damage cleanup, SMD & micro-soldering, BIOS/firmware work, data recovery.

CAD

Design & reverse-engineering

Recreate a broken or discontinued part from measurements, or design something new from scratch.

3D Printing

Prototyping & parts

Fast turnaround printing, finishing, and assembly — often the first step before a part is cut in metal.

Machining

Manual lathe & mill work

Small-scale precision turning and milling on a Sherline 1100 lathe and Proxxon MF70 mill — aluminium, steel, brass.

Watchmaking

Service & repair

Battery and crystal replacement, gasket and pressure testing, movement regulation, full mechanical service.

Gunsmithing

Precision fabrication

Custom part fabrication, sight installation, and mechanical repair — coming once applicable licensing is in place.

How a job actually runs

STEP 1

Diagnose

The fault is found and documented first, always billed separately from the fix — the only honest way to price electronics, since a first fault can hide a second.

STEP 2

Quote

A written quote is issued for exactly what was found — fixed price where possible, time & materials estimate for machining and design work.

STEP 3

Build or repair

Work proceeds on your approval. If something new turns up mid-job, work pauses and you get a revised quote before anything more is spent.

STEP 4

Deliver

Finished part or repaired device, tested, with an itemised invoice showing exactly what was done — no hidden line items.

Built for the odd job that doesn't fit a catalogue.

If a supplier quoted you a minimum order of 500 units for one bracket, or a repair shop said a part is "no longer available" — that's usually exactly the kind of job that fits here.
