  GUN-MAKING AS A COTTAGE INDUSTRY
This study undertakes to evaluate the feasibility of small-scale firearms fabrication in the United States; the method is to consider designs, techniques, and materials that might be used in the event that such fabrication becomes a significant source of illicit arms.
Gun-making could readily become a "cottage industry" in the United States, under any of several possible circumstances: (1) Enactment of a comprehensive handgun ban; (2) Court decisions effectively outlawing the manufacture and sale of handguns under the guise of consumer safety and/or manufacturers' tort liability; (3) Invasion/occupation of the United States by a foreign power.
The choice of fabrication methods for a "cottage" weapons industry, then, would appear to favor machining and invest casting for metals, and machining and pour-casting for pi More elaborate technology, as available, might be used in particular cases.

All cottages are individually owned, so if you are left a bottle of champagne and flowers in one place, you won't necessarily get the same treatment the next time you book somewhere else with the same company.

Cottage industry: photographing the dreamy, maniacal history of the Czech 'chata'
The Czech obsession with getting away for the weekend to the family cottage in the countryside or cabin in the mountains began to take root in the 1920s and reached a fever pitch in the final decades of communist rule.
Escaping to one's own 'chata' -- a simple cottage, typically located next to a forest or river and built from scratch by the family without professional help -- was, for many, a vital reprieve not just from cramped apartment life, but from collective society.
