That Jim Chambers L-19, "Dale Johnson" is really top notch! Very impressed by the workmanship, and by the thoughts that lead mankind to come up with such a great mechanism when power tools were powered by a waterwheel, and candles were the source of light.
I'm in awe of what the old timer machinists, smiths, carpenters etc were able to accomplish with the tools and technology they had available. Real craftsmanship. Those old boys knew their bidness, that's for sure.
They had to "make do" with what they had on hand and were masters of improvisation.
Poor people with poor ways buy they worked and their rekics are proof of that.
