How do you make a machine that has perfectly flat/plumb/level metal components without the aide of a machine to begin with?

You start out creating something that is bad, but better than not having anything.
The thing you made, makes it possible for you to make a new things, better than the thing you just made. The new thing is still bad, but not as bad.
The new thing can now do the same again. Make a newer thing that is better than itself.
You are basically making something that enable you able to make something better.
Sometimes that means making something which’s only purpose is to make a better thing of something else.
The biggest thing is that improvements are easy early on, and you don’t need “modern perfection” for it to help a whole lot. The first years with steam engines, were a massive improvement compared to not having. Even though the first steam engines weren’t all that strong nor efficient.
