    My God that was/is brilliant. Did you get a good look at his "shed" Robbo .
    To grow old is inevitable.... To grow up is optional

    Confidence, the feeling you have before you fully understand the situation.

    OMG!

    That's serious dedication to a hobby.

    Although, if I had a spare 20,000 hours and a workshop like that (oh, and his talent), I'd be inclined to make a full-sized replica at least!

    Wow. Thanks for sharing, Robbo

    Aussie some people like to keep their hobbie a hobbie.

    If they had to work at it every day then it can become monotonous and not enjoyable.

    Some people work with wood and sell things connected with wood and it is their hobby as well.---I know one or too.Maybe that is all they are capable off? OR what they really like doing--Day and Night.
    If he had the patience or what ever it takes to spend 20,ooo hours on the one project I think he loves it
    This guy is a genius.He would be that bored at work he would goto sleep maybe
