Truly amazing. I can't believe the craftsmanship and skill involved. I really thought it was all done by machine. It would take a lot of work to fair such a large piece. I visited a haul out for large ships and stood next to a propeller at least 50 feet in diameter. Imagine building the plug for one of those.
