[QUOTE="kurthuhn, post: 188906, member: 39"] That's a question that goes around time and again. "What does [i]handmade[/i] mean?" MY answer, not that it amounts to a hill of beans, is that anything that is made by a [i]person[/i] without the use of automation qualifies as handmade. If a lathe is used, then as long as it's not a CNC machine and is being guided by computer, that's okay - the craftsman is manipulating that tool manually. Manipulating a lathe, or any other power tool for that matter, takes an acquired skill that is developed over a significant amount of time. But any monkey can put raw material into a CNC mill and pump out a part as long as they have the code for that part. [/QUOTE]
