Part 2/7:
The day begins with the narratoр excitedly mentioning he is machining a part on a jet lathe he acquired from Apollo Mueller. The lathe, labeled "Inventor 3", appears to be well-used, with signs of wear and prior paint jobs—initially painted white, then covered in gray. The goal is to get the Birdmaster running, a piece of equipment that appears to be integral to his workshop setup.
He recalls that everything else on the lathe is operational, and he has previously completed a similar project: manufacturing a bushing for a hand wheel. He proceeds to check the smoothness of the turn, indicating a focus on precision and performance.
