Bill Holmes Gunsmith Documentary

Nice.

Hey, we pronounce it "Arkansaw", nor Arkansas.

And I would bet that he lost his lathes, not "lathers"....

But I enjoyed it nonetheless.
 
I got a kick out of many of his shop techniques when I watched a video on building the .50 BMG bolt rifle many years ago. He used an old broken tap, reground as a center punch to mark hole locations. I often wondered how many people resort to such practices, but mostly they resorted from poverty I figure.

The guy was a genius in a way, and marched to his own drummer, I respect anyone who cuts .50 BMG bolt locking lugs by hand and stands behind his work. And anyone who gives any small portion of grief BACK to the BATF is a good guy in my way of looking at it.
