Sometimes, it's a case of "I can't believe he did that". But it's very entertaining and sometimes educational (there are times where I highly don't recommend what he's doing). It's a long series, just be warned!

This...is awesome. :D

I love (and can completely identify with) the whole "well, I want to build this...so first I need to build this...crap, to build that I need to build this other thing...oh, and the build that I need to build this other thing..wait, I wanted a giant robot, why am I making a toaster??? I am so confused!"

He's very resourceful, although sometimes... he shouldn't be (Example: using duct tape as a bandage.... although next part someone sends him a first aid kit!)

...yess...duct tape bandages are a horrible idea and I have definitely never done that myself...of course not..why would I..... :whistler:

Though I will say, I'm rather partial to super glue now instead. ;)

I love it! Even if he never gets to the robot he will (in the mean time) build a lot of other cool stuff.

Remember, that video is from 2007, there is a playlist of 68 videos, I've watched them all, including where he turns it on for 2 steps.

grr I'm meant to be spending today with the missus and instead I'm watching a crazy guy building a giant robot! Ah well, I know how I'd rather spend my time so I guess I won't complain :D

I'm up to 19 now and much as I want to get back to my current addiction with FarCry2 I can't stop watching :D The guys an unhinged genius! I do have concerns that he's asking a little too much from the materials he's using but bearing in mind there are another 40+ instalments to get through I'm sure there will be lots of ups and downs before the end. Probably a few revisions too I'd imagine ;)

I'm on part 34 today and just have to quote a segment I just watched. It won't be as entertaining reading it as watching it so it's at approximately 4:16 in video 34 which is linked here - http://www.youtube.com/user/JMEMantzel?feature=chclk#p/search/0/FYMrneB1uKo


Uh, all FBI guys who are watching. Please disregard that... I have no interest in mowing down the forest or anyone else... with, giant bazooka blasters or anything... Even though I'm... wierd guy... in the mountain... in a secret workshop... building a giant robot...
