transvaal,

You and I are sharing the same reading.

I am fascinated by his use of CNC and the time savings/benefits from utilising same.

Anybody who has attempted to fit steel via "soot and file, soot and file" can appreciate that process and the benefits of CNC/EDM. I consider them "White Man's technogeewizzery" akin to voodoo or "black magic".

My interest is deeper...........I'm currently battling with CAD with a view to CAD/CAM/CNC.

I also was interested in the "sooting" of the barrels for more polish.

Another book that helps demistify the building process, particularly the double rifle, is Ellis Brown's "Building Double Rifles on Shotgun actions".

His description of the regulation process is fantastic. Completely demistifies what has been held as a "black art" in gunmaking when it need not be so.

I would love to take a tour of Holland's/Purdey's/Westley's machine shops and see the raw material go onto the CNC machines and how long it took to "lighten" it/complete the "donkey work" so that it was fit for the artisan's hands.

Ian Clarke's operation would certainly be another tour that would be fascinating.
