OMG.... yeeeeeeess!

We already have a cock-up thread (a VERY successful one, I might add - "unfortunately" :mrgreen: ), how about a thread showing examples of masterful fabrication, welding and machining? I love beautifully made things, and I know you do too!

Here are some pics to get the ball rolling.

If everything seems to be in control, you're not going fast enough.

Sure thing, will take some pics for you. I only have the NAD stuff left, sold the rest as my fiance was getting angry of hi fi stuff everywhere. :cry:

Also love AR speakers.

The older 70's Sansui equipment was also really good. Not a cheap brand like now.

Build your own MANCAVE and install the HI-FI equipment in.

Car-Crushing Mechanical Claw
GRAND CHAMPION | FIRMEST HANDSHAKE


Our top prizewinner spent years dreaming of the perfect way to crush cars by hand. In 2007 Christian Ristow, an artist and former animatronics designer for the movie industry, demonstrated his first working incarnation of the Hand of Man at a robotics festival in Amsterdam. Much of his time since then has been spent re-engineering and refining the design of the 27-foot-long hydraulically actuated appendage, exhibiting more and more capable crushers at a series of public venues­. Ristow's latest mechanical steel limb has 90-degree wrist rotation and improved mobility in the finger joints. It is powered by a 90-hp Perkins 1104C-44T four-cylinder diesel engine and is controlled through a glove worn by the operator. At demonstrations, that operator is usually a random member of the audience. "I've built other large-scale radio-control robots for shows over the years, but I always felt like I was the one having the most fun," Ristow says. "This democratizes the crushing power."
