    What is the source of your statement re.drilling and bottles being 18th C.?

From Matthew Isganaitis.. I trust him very much..

He also shared that "with machine carving it's very difficult to execute the strong edges of the foot and neck. Slow carving is the only way to achieve sharp consistent edges like this generally". I took that to mean old school pedal type rotary tools.
