There are old-world metal-crafters in Europe that can make anything with a hardwood tree stump, hammers, mallets, dollies, spoons, and a leather shot-bag.
Edward De Vaucorbeil, a "French native metalshaper granted an extraordinary ability by the U.S. Gov.," is on Instagram with the handle extraordinary_metalshaping. Some examples of his most recent postings... pure beauty in craft...

See my car's mod & maintenance thread and my electric bicycle's thread for ongoing projects. I will rebuild Black and Green over decades as parts die, until it becomes a different car of roughly the same shape and color. My minimum fuel economy goal is 55 mpg while averaging posted speed limits. I generally top 60 mpg. See also my Honda manual transmission specs thread.
