Dr.Hess Posted July 22, 2018 Report Share Posted July 22, 2018 I saw that they actually won their case in the past week or so. Something about free speech. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FC Posted July 25, 2018 Author Report Share Posted July 25, 2018 I’d love to see how Sam Colt made revolvers with old machinery. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr.Hess Posted July 25, 2018 Report Share Posted July 25, 2018 I was watching a youtoobe a couple weeks ago (now that I have high speed internet) where a guy was demonstrating how to make a barrel and button rifle it with nothing but a drill press and a shop press. It was interesting and just took time. He made the button from a piece of steel, etc. And I have the Foxfire book set, or 1-5 anyway, and in there is how to make a black powder rifle. It starts out with "find you some red dirt..." for the iron ore. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not Colt but I recall several years ago watching a cartoon type video on my old WebTV of some factory operations during the Industrial Age. Powered by wheels in rivers or steam power there were systems of belts, pullies, gears and huge flywheels to maintain a steady speed. Some factories maintained hogs that were slaughtered for their fat to lubricate gears. Didn't take long to see the engineers or what ever they may have been named at the time. To realize they were genius in designing the factories. There were no worries back then though about water or air pollution, worker's comp or liability from industrial accidents. About the only govt intrusion at the time were from local towns or cities to build high smokestacks. EDIT: I think but might be wrong I saw the video on How Stuff Works.
