This Batmobile was created in a home garage. It took nine years to build it.
Awesome!
This video, by Janet Califf, is of an amazing handcrafted steam engine train smoker built by “Illinois Slim”. “Illinois Slim” has been working on the project for three years and built it mostly from scratch. The smoker has a wood-stoked fire that generates steam, along with a working whistle, a bell and much more!
The engineer reveals that he named the train smoker “97″ after the country song “Wreck Of The Old 97” famously sung by Johnny Cash.
For three years, retired iron worker Steve has been working on a homemade steam BBQ smoker that looks like a steam train engine. The miniature train has a boiler and firebox to make the most delicious and tender BBQ chicken. But the best part is releasing steam from the cylinders, ringing the bell, and blowing the steam whistle. All aboard the train to delicious-ville.
Can you figure out how the wooden toy can switch the ball?
Istvan Puskas, a motorcycle enthusiast from Hungary took the term “chopper” litterally and actually spent the last two years chopping his dream ride from black locust wood.
In the past, we’ve featured a few other unique wooden vehicles, like the bicycles of Slawomir Weremkowicz, or the VW Betle built by Momir Bojic, and even the popsicle stick bike made by Sun Chao, but this is the first functional chopper we’ve ever seen. Istvan Puskas has spent the last two years building a -one-of-a-kind chopper almost entirely out of weather-resistant black locust wood. It’s not clear whether the agricultural machine expert from Tiszaros, 161 kilometers east of Budapest, couldn’t afford to buy himself an ordinary chopper, or if he just wanted to create something that would stand out weherever he went, but his wooden masterpiece certainly got a lot of attention when it was recently unveiled.
