XD I really doubt it, it must be buffered.

My grandfather was a lathe operator and owned a car workshop. Too bad I only met him as a child, he could have taught me many things.

Feel much the same about my grandfather, I was just a kid when he passed.

Beautiful.  The combination of skill and patience to build that is incredible.  Thanks for posting.

That's a beautiful piece of machinery. What are you supposed to do with it?

There's another vid on youtube of a V-16 engine or something, on the same scale. Same quality (video and machining), same video techniques... suspect same person behind both.

Know exactly what you other guys mean -- my grandfather machined and built his own little steam locomotive (2 foot tall), and rails, and even some little seats for it to pull. Passed away when I was too young to appreciate him :(

The guy has a V-12 and W-18 on his channel too. He is a retired naval engineer from Spain and a true artist.
