That was wild. Amazing for sure. Think of all the prep for the action build. W/o power drills and saws, every step had to be sequenced correctly to allow for exacting results w/o constant assembly and disassembly.

Very talented but he still needed a machinist to help him.:)
More seriously he will probably never have as much fun running it as he did building it. Quite the craftsman. Very impressive.

FWIW, he has a second video on the lathe in which he said it took nine months, during which he had 100 hours into it, including three prototypes.
