This is a very interesting video.  I would like to see a bit on the cartography, producing the plates, and the printing process before the hemisphere gores are press cut.  But otherwise, this is really nice.  Interesting to see how precise the hand work is, with almost no effort to match up at all the stages of the assembly.  Other globes look more handmade, without as precise a match at seams as Replogle globes have.  Amazing.
