"There are countless horrible things happening all over the world and horrible people prospering, but we must never allow them to disturb our equanimity or deflect us from our sacred duty to sabotage and annoy them whenever possible." -Auberon Waugh

As someone who knows little about building or restoring things, I have to admire this guy's patience and skill set (not to mention his tool set). Videos like this provide some solace for useless paper-pushers like me: they give me 50% of the satisfaction of seeing the job completed with 2% of the time invested and 0% of the cost.
A&A: That's exactly the way I feel. I'm not mechanically inclined at all, but I admire people who are and am fascinated by the their intuitive grasp of complexity and their skill at restoring old equipment and machines, rescuing them from a rusty fate.

Ditto here as well.
Although I would be reluctant to use that shop function without some thought as to avoiding getting caught by that wheel.
