The machines may have computers to run rotation speed and direction but he is in control over the cutting tools. He even makes his own screws and tools. Just wow...

Amazing.

I took some classes with an old watchmaker. He made all his own parts for old 18 and 16s pocket watched. I dont have the skillset for that kind of work. Never made it too far past cleaning and minor repairs. It was really fun anyway.

Now we know why some of these cost $20,000...too cheap!!!

Serotta bikes are expensive to make.

While watching, two names came to mind...
Peter Weigle & Dazza Llewellyn - "clockmakers" of the bicycle industry.
