Good for him!

I don’t think I would travel across country in it, but he has a lot more ingenuity than I do.

Why can't the people that have that kind of skill accurately replicate the proportions ? like, ever ?

I like his welding sunglasses!

And his grinding helmet . Safety is for pussies.
If he was your friend.....

If only the guy had the opportunity to work in a real engineering workshop. His skills would be amazing.

Agreed, pretty impressive skills and ambition , Created something from nothing with only basic tools, and flip flops

I've always admired people that just make do with what they have.

- Talent always rises to the top.
