Amazing Fabrication

[Shizuma]

One of the best fab threads I've ever seen, goes so far as to cast his own engine girdle lol:

madness....

I lost count the number of times he cast to nearly final shape where I would have machined from plate/billet.

...and all designed & planned with pen & paper.

madness.

holly cow! that guy is amazing!

Savage!..... like they say in there!

[Shizuma]

^ The crazy thing is he actually uses a hand router to machine things lol.

I'be been reading this all day and can't stop.

This guy is my hero. Seriously. I wanted a mill, I spend $20K on a huge CNC knee mill. This guy just frigging BUILDS one.

This guy is amazing! Great stuff!

I wish i had a brain that would allow me to do those things.

[ymboc]

It's not so much brain power as will power.

These things are not hard to do in themselves... just he painstakingly does *everything* from scratch!

[Motor]

That's hardcore! He has amazing skill. In some ways he's literally building the engine from the ground up.

[kaminaricelica7]

yea, having to construct an engine out of wood first would seem like a completely usless step. NOT ME! although, that is incredible and I would love to do it.

hero? no way. i study automotive engeneering and i`ve seen a lot of awfull things. but this is the winner. i hope that this engine doesn`t explode. oh my god :eek:

Oh it may very well fail spectacularly. Doesn't matter - I admire his dedication and willingness to do things himself.

Then again, I built my own flowbench, and it works pretty damn well....

QFT!

This has become my favorite daily update thread browsing!

I saw the link in the first post and I was like "Is this pr0n?"
:chuckles:

[hombredelassrta]

wow. love the home made casts. simply amazing

[vegeta4ss]

I just caught up on the thread. Yeah, simply amazing. Dude has no official engineering background he has just learned over the years. Gotta respect that. Can't wait to see the final outcome, even if it does fail you gotta admire the extreme amount of work and planning he's done.

The original link wasn't good anymore.....here's a working one:
