Man, you've got to be born with that skill. See the big smile at the end?

Which is harder Free hand or Production like he did? can the same person do both?

All I can say to either is Wow.

Yeah I was thinking that too. They must rotate out and do different jobs, ya think? And at Enfield, what's ther production. Maybe that guy can do a days worth of tanks in the morning and go home.  anyway that skill, like yours, is so far away from my hacking and pounding, its beyond me.

I know the BMW factory was famous for its handstriping.

a craftsman at work , its probably easier and faster to get a machine to do it but somehow it wouldn't be the same .

Impressive to say the least but I guess after a couple thousand it gets easier.


Just where is the Enfield assembled?
