Here we're presented with a demonstration of 'old school' craftsmanship, a metal machinist doing what he knows best. A truly gifted man who redefines what is possible with only simple hand tools, a manual lathe and milling machine. Without the aid of modern CNC machining techniques we're given via a 35 page build-log a working scale 45cc V8 engine with Megasquirt MS2 fuel injection and electric starter.
A quote came to mind after looking at the man and his work, "A man who works with his hands is a laborer; a man who works with his hands and his brain is a craftsman; but a man who works with his hands and his brain and his heart is an artist. ~ Louis Nizer"
In addition he gives us a brief look at two of his previous projects which are no less amazing than his V8 engine. On page 16 of his build-log we're given a glimpse of his scale RC-Helicopter with it's machined Main and Tail Rotors along with his hand-made Binocular Telescope.
