< Curious. Same goes for people who aren't in a large company and < invent various other things. How did he 'invent' a gun without < owning the necessary tools (at least I doubt a magazine writer would < own this stuff) to process metal? Also, how did Woz make a case for < the Apple ][, etc? Are there companies that take single orders < like this? Well first off there are companies that if you supply the drawing and pay dearly they will make the requested item. I'd suspect the Gunsmith would possess the tools needed. It doesn't take a larg machine shop to do many of the processes needed to make a firearm same applies for computer. A case can be made of easily machined plastics or even wood and painted for protos. I made a system box years ago out of wood to simulated the look and feel of a quality epoxy glass resin, no majik other than knowing how. Allison
