'Cut to the chase', to steal a phrase: This guy designed and machined a 1/3-scale, water-cooled, fuel-injected and supercharged V-10! Having to make his own spark plugs on the way.
I like to believe I know my way around a lathe, a mill and grinders; this guy *invents* new ways around them and does the invented ways with the precision I hope to produce.
If you are not interested in what you can do with machine tools, most of this is going to be boring; scroll to Pg 7, for instance. By page 20, you'll see he's built a scale dyno to find out if it works!
Not to his satisfaction, but I have a feeling it will.
