Thanks for posting this.

Interesting to see the Division of Labor. It appears that the skills required to make the Ribands and twist them into rough tubes was separate from the forging process then required to weld the tubes. The Smith's equipment was clearly different, especially the Anvil. The grinding stones were very impressive, as was the degree of expertise required to complete the tubes.

I prefer wood to plastic, leather to nylon, waxed cotton to Gore-Tex, and split bamboo to graphite.
