Popular Post heppnerguy Posted April 8, 2023 Popular Post Report Share Posted April 8, 2023 I ran across this YouTube video of one of the most impressive things I have ever seen someone do with wood. You will not want to miss this, as I am pretty sure it will knock your socks off. Do yourself a favor and click on the link. This Amazing thing was done by a 17 year old boy.

preprius Posted April 8, 2023 Report Share Posted April 8, 2023 Not to generic. The color is in the imagination for sure. I say this because of the color challenge. That is a good way to get a scholarship. heppnerguy and OCtoolguy 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hudson River Rick Posted April 8, 2023 Report Share Posted April 8, 2023 What a mind this guy must have !!! That's probably one of the best examples of engineering a wooden model I've ever seen. Oh, and for you tree huggers, no carbon foot prin/tire tracks. Wishing all my friends here a BLESSED EASTER.

OCtoolguy Posted April 8, 2023 Report Share Posted April 8, 2023 There is still hope for the younger generation. All it takes is good parenting. I see and engineering degree in his future. Unless he already has one. Great job. Thanks Dick. heppnerguy, MarieC and danny 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are several videos of this item on YouTube. It is an extremely interesting piece of work. Nothing on it is short cut-ed the transmission, rear end, and other parts are copies from the way they are in a real car. Even if that is not true and I misinterpreted the process, it is fabulous for anyone to make. I just had to share it.

I too was blown away that anyone, let alone a 17 year old could even dream of making this, (even if there were plans to follow, which I understand there was not). It is one of the most unbelievable thing I have ever seen anyone make. Dick heppnerguy JessL 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rick He certainly had me totally amazed as well. What a brain he has, and a long endurance ability to be able to produce this at 17 years of age, or any age as far as that goes Dick heppnerguy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bill WIlson Posted April 11, 2023 Report Share Posted April 11, 2023 Incredible! I can't help but wonder what kind of mileage he's getting out of that thing. OCtoolguy and Gene Howe 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scrappile Posted April 11, 2023 Report Share Posted April 11, 2023 There is another video of this showing more on building the tiny parts. It is rather lengthy, I didn't sit through it all but it makes this even more amazing. Those working pistons are tiny and as are the gears. The young mans voice sounds just like the voice of the guy that has the woodgears.ca site. wonder if their brains are related. heppnerguy, Gene Howe and OCtoolguy 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
