Default Giant Robot Project

Found this on a lesser forum, doesn't seem to have been on here... I love this guy, he's the Andrew WK of building giant robots.

By part 22 he's built a lot of the mechanical parts of the robot and got a workshop sorted on his land...some woman has showed up and is planting flowers in front of the "robot building"

The guy is inspiring in some ways to be honest, a little eccentric but doing what he wants and no caring about what is conventional and what others think.....he does need an off road bike for that land of his though!

Oi I'm not in any way eccentric, I mean in between poddling about with the lathe, fixing some motocross forks, rebuilding the odd shock, fixing my welder, all I've been doing is building a furnace to melt metal using waste oil which is perfectly normal.
Oh hang on.

But yeah I'll take some vids of big flames and such.
