Dexterity test
I've applied and been scheduled for the dexterity test for the veterans watchmaking initiative in Odessa Delaware. If I do well on the test, I then attend the school for a couple of years and fulfill a long-term goal. It's a school for disabled veterans and it is highly regarded I've discovered. My issue is that I have a really difficult time working on the small parts because my hand shakes like an Bangladeshi space shuttle. Do any of you have any ideas about how I can cope with this? I can no longer lift anything heavy or above my collarbone. I'm a retired Chief Engineer Merchant Mariner and I have loved watches since I purchased a digital casio in 6th grade in the late 70's with my birthday and Christmas money. I think it was $32 plus tax at Radio Shack. I would really appreciate any feedback or suggestions about the shaking. I've tested the theory about coffee and or caffeinated beverages and it make no difference but maybe it will in conjunction with another practice. Thank you in advance, John
