This guy lives out in the middle of the woods, with no electricity, and seems to have an obsession with robots. So much so, that he has decided to build a big one.

That is part 1, where he explains that before building the robot, he needs to build a workshop, but in order to do that he needs to build a lumber mill.

This guy is epic, what ever he needs, he just builds. Think Candyman, but on a big scale.

It so far has spanned 3 years, and is currently on part 54.

And yes I'm aware of the Youtube thread, but this is more than a Youtube video.
 
Damn, as I'm about to go to bed I find something that looks FAF ... added to favourites ready for when I finish work tomorrow :D
 
Whoa that's crazy :D Very interesting though! Onto part 3 now and just want to see more! :D

It made me lol when he goes "Here's my nice new welding jacket! *Pause for effect* I just made it." :p Anything he wants - he just makes :p
 
lol at saw i know a traveller who lost a arm on a similar type saw . blade snapped off with the arm. used to build old style coaches carts.
 
HOW MANY PARTS!!

:eek:

Don't think my o2 Home Access FUP cap is going to like this...


Edit: Holy hell, he's one ingenious/industrious/awesome chap.

EditEdit: "health and safety?" Pfft.

Just saw a much later video (July 2010) - he has a dome with four floors - One floor with a FREAKING TRAMPOLINE AS A FLOOR! This guy is unbelieveable! :D
 
I don't get how he supposedly builds his own Saw Mill from scratch but can't make a rudimentary vice to file and manually cut some Aluminium, his hands and nails are also really well manicured for a Metalworker... ;)
 
That's brilliant. Would love to have the time & know-how to build what he's built so far, including the warehouse and various other things.

Click to expand...

Why do people always have to pick fault :rolleyes:. You don't need broadband at home to access the internet & who cares if he does actually have electricity and doesn't really live in the woods!?
