Go to criticalpast Springfield rifleson YouTube. Or instead of Springfield put in Browning.
There's a whole series of WW1 videos,most are around 3-5 minutes long. Probably about 20 or so videos. I thought about posting it in the project's forum but put it here instead. And no,not savvy enough to add a link.
There's a huge difference (doh) in manufacturing between WWl and WWll. The earlier machines are of more interest to project guys here because of the way these machines got developed. By the second war,there were manufactured machines taking the role..... whereas in these videos most of the equipment is being built,inhouse.
How that helps us shop guys is the slackjaw creativity expressed in their fixturing vs,just buying said. I watched a dz or so and picked up about that many new,"alternative" approaches. Have never seen such a dramatic example of how ingenuity gets lost as we progress in machine design.
If you're stuck in the mindset that CNC trumps all..... don't bother watching. If you want some ridiculously easy to implement shop strategies, grab the popcorn,a soda and pull up a chair. Heck,I even learned a cpl dust collection tricks.
