Re: Giant Robot Project
Hes mad and interesting all at the same time
 He needs a lower TPi on the band saw blade, it would cut much quicker

Re: Giant Robot Project
If you watch enough of the vids you'll see the girlfriend (note to reeder, even this guy has one!) and chain mail outfit for keeping fit always
He does seem to be slowly going mad  Evil genius?....not sure yet....

Re: Giant Robot Project
Wow where the hell did my evening just go??
 I think I started watching about 7.30pm. I'm on episode 20 nowHe's nuts but funny and really quite brilliant with some of the stuff he comes up with. Very interesting, and I like how he doesn't really let you know what's going on as he builds lol

Re: Giant Robot Project
<potential spoiler alert!>
Watched all 68 giant robot vids (skipped little bits) and the giant robot worked to a degree but unless I missed other vids of it I never saw it operating fully, real shame especially as I spend so long watching his progress. </potential spoiler alert!> Mostly done with scrap aluminium and not a lathe in sight just grinder, pillar drill, band saw and welding gear. He's moved into kids toys of the same thing though it seems, first step in a steampunk society maybe In all seriousness we do need more people like that guy in the world, gotta love his principles and creativity. It makes me feel like emigrating, buying some land and giving the free living thing a go..... Quote:

Re: Giant Robot Project
My favourite episode is the one where he builds a road for the pickup
 One capable hombre, I want him with me after the apes take over

Just reinforces my wants! One day I WILL migrate to Fiji (wife is Fijian) for the simple "good life"...one more baby on the way right now though so quite some wait yet for us...still could do it in a couple of years if we really want to, the mrs wants to keep small livestock (pigs, goats, chickens) and I want a small eco-tourism spot well out of the way. Not sure I'd be building robots though, maybe software applications and web sites instead... Quote:

Re: Giant Robot Project
Welding in sandals is amazing since he repeatedly mentions being careful about wearing long sleeved shirts...
I've been known to weld with a T shirt on, nice tan on 1 arm lol Like the dome building http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CjoyB...eature=channel Seen a far cooler way to do it though, they pour a flat disc of concrete then inflate a membrane under it which lifts it into a dome shape.
