I was disappointed when he got the grinding wheel and the file out.
Otherwise its pretty cool. I wouldn't have a fraction of the patience required to build something like that.

I was a bench fitter in my younger days,vividly remember having to make a steel cube by hand during my apprenticeship. Sounds easy, try it sometime!

[I used to run the sword factory for Wilkinson sword. Pretty much everything was made by hand or by machines that were 100 years plus years old.
