Great video! But what I would like to see is the things not shown, like how they fix the dropped part, part that is out of tolerance, the oops part. I would also feel better if so many of the polishing steps were not done by humans but rather machines. Precision in handcrafted is only as good as the...

What I find interesting is for the last 10 or so years I have gotten barraged with TurboTax and HRBlock mail ads. Usually use this code for a $10 off tax product type of ad.

Going back to lurker only mode again now since most of the forum doesn't want me here. Why do you say the forum does not want you here? I have always enjoyed your comments. Perhap...
