How to bootstrap an ancient greek metal lathe:?

All of the Antikythera Fragment videos are very worthwhile, imo, almost more than the main vids, because they’re about making the tools to make the thing.

He cheats, a bit, because he already possesses the knowledge of turning so it’s not entirely starting from scratch, but then the Antikythera mechanism itself didn’t spring fully formed de novo from some ancient supergenius’s mind. There had to have been a long tradition of metalworking of complex devices to get to that point.?
