Drew from Engin in Chestnut Hill has different machines for each part of the frame. One of them is a lathe from the Department of the Navy that is from the 1950s. He gave Eileen and I a tour of the shop, which is in his parents’ former carpet cleaning business. Pretty amazing. I believe he now mostly machines parts for others.
