Something else to think about. We may have dreams of making "one" of something (1911, Luger, whatever). I remember my days as a machinist. When you are assigned to a new job doing one part of a multiple operation sequence, the first dozen or so you do are usually crap because you haven't figured out all the little intricacies. It ain't until you have done several hundred when you really start to get the hang of it. With respect to how many rough passes? What feed? Is a finish pass necessary? Are there factors that complicate getting a great finish (do you have to wait until the Bullard in the next bay is finished his rough cut?)

Think about it, some 53 pieces in a 1911, 162 individual operations on the frame alone. Almost all these operations an individual step, and each step has to be mastered by the operator with regard to all the little intricacies, many of which can't really be explained and taught verbally. Mind boggling.
