I first saw this 4 or 5 years ago. I'm still in total awe and am blown away every time I watch the video.

To me it sounds like Jeremy Clarkson narrating. Does anyone know if this was from a Top Gear episode? I'd love to see it in higher resolution.

There's a fellow here in Chicagoland that has a replica of a V12 Ferrari engine made entirely out of exotic hardwoods, just for an art display. It's truly amazing, but this makes it seem very tame.

I love to see talented people when they have free rein over something. Marvelous insanity!

This video is under the "geeks" category, and it was only a matter of time before someone said something like this! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/mad.gif) Don't you dare pity this man! While the rest of the world is out there diluting and procreating, these are the people that make the world a colorful place to live. It's determination like this that built the origional 312 Ferrari and took it to victory time and time again. More power to him! However, I do agree that with that kind of determination and skill, he may as well have made a full scale version and been done with it. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/burnout.gif)

Yeah, but where is the challenge in that? Sounds like that would have been way too easy for him. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

I believe everyone needs a hobby, but 15 years. He should get the patience award which should resemble 1/3 scale jackstands.

Time to brag (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

I've been working on a Bugattiesk Retro Rod, mix of the type 40 grand sport and 28, that I am making from scratch. Its all carbon steel space framing and midengine at 3/4 scale and all the chrome is stainless steel polished like chrome. The car is in deep storage so sorry for no pics of that but here is the steering wheel I made from a solid Stainless plate for spoke and rim, the core is plywood and it was all lathed and LAMINATED with Sapelea Palmalea if thats how they spell it. Took me about 300 hours to make, 290 of laminating but it is stunning!! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beer.gif)
