  1. Years ago the Discovery or History Channel (1) had an episode on the US gun factory at West Point. Once a nation loses the skills and knowledge of how to do these things it is very difficult to start such operations up again. It is not like opening up a law office. 1) When the History Channel covered actual history.

  2. All machine tools start with the lathe. Not the metal working lathes we know today but more akin to a woodturners lathe. Clickspring has a video on just what the first precision lathe may have been like. I would love to see a video on just how the multiple step and possibly multiple lead interrupted threads of the naval rifles like the 16"50 on the Iowa's for example where cut.
