Hi All,
I know this isn't really a thread on building a car but it was sent to me via email today and just had to share it with you all. Truly amazing YOU HAVE GOT TO WATCH THIS CLIP, IT’S AMAZING VIDEO OF TRUE CRAFTSMANSHIP AN OPERATIONAL V-12 DIESEL ENGINE THAT FITS IN THE PALM OF YOUR HAND. This is not CNC technology; this guy made everything at home on his lathe and drill press. Took 1220 hours (a year and a half?) to make the 261 pieces. Note the end-loaded crankshaft into the block (like an Offy), 12 individual cylinder heads, TINY rods and pistons, dual "underhead" cams with pushrods to rockers in the heads. And, he did break-in runs using an electric drill driving the crankshaft! Even if you're not an engineer, you'll love this! http://www.wimp.com/tiniestengine/ __________________

Very talented fella!
I don't think he needs to worry about his wife! He'll just turn up a new one on the lathe.

Amazing, Spanish bloke, Alfa Romeo should use him to make their cars?
 Seen other such videos on YouTube, I do like the use of the opening Music from West Wing. Quote:

Thanks for adding that link. He has been busy makes it even more interesting. In the 1st video looked like it was running a bit rough as mentioned above. He must have tuned it up a bit in that video the coin never even budged.

As a fitter/turner I can only wish I had this guys talent and patience. Turning the crank was lathe porn.
