Wow!

Yes, those old drawings do not transmit what went on in those hot smoky stone rooms.

Thank you very much for posting this. I went right to the gun safe to take a look at my barrels that predate the film.

In addition to the lack of gloves and glasses, did you note the age of these craftsmen?
I would guess a lot of the younger workers never came back from WW I...

Last, just how to you produce a barrel with a name in the pattern? See the end of the film at 21 minutes. Has anyone ever seen an example of this?

Patrick
