If you ever have an hour to kill on-line, the Wallace Gusler movie "The Gunsmith of Williamsburg" (on you YouTube) is pretty fascinating. At a very young age, he produced nearly all by hand and period tools and methods (some, machines by definition) incredible 18th century style Virginia rifles right in the tourist shop of Colonial Williamsburg. I would call his rifles as close to hand made as possible and this was in the era of the lathe.
