Hand machining precision parts to construct working firearms that are so identical to the originals that official parts or attachments would be interchangable… This is like a dream job for me. If I could stand living in the tropics, maybe I’d move to the Philippines…
Speaking of the tropics, in that video the workshop is exposed to the humid tropical air. I wonder how they deal with rust on their tools and swelling in the wooden tool handles.
At any rate, I say keep it up. Keep doing fine artisan work while simultaneously sticking to the man and earning a living. Very impressive.
