The sad thing is, its a lost art - like clock repair. From what I gather, it takes 4 things to get that good:
1) Love
2) Experience
3) Desire
4) and of course talent
My parents (well, my father my mom just wants to know what is going on) do clock repair and it is a lost art. Especially in something like clock repair, you have to be an excellent wood worker in addition to being mechanically inclined and detail oriented.

It makes me working on my Porsche seem like putting a square peg in a round hole.
