If you've ever wanted to see how silversmiths did engine-turning, I found a great video online. This one is for straightline e-t. I'm in awe of how much time this takes!

Thank you very much for posting this video. When I hear the term "engine turning" I think of something much faster and automated. If that is the way they did engine turned pieces I see out there - I'm going to look more closely at them from here on out. A ton of time and work involved. Guess they didn't have CNC machines back then... :-)
