Why is it whenever I see one of these solid wood cars/motorcycle/machines that they are always just Raw wood? No stain, no polish, no shellac, no wax or finish just zero protection of their complex hard work
was wondering that too... that's a 1 trip vehicule... with all the exposed gears and such good luck cause one of them is bought to get crap caught in it and jam.
A guess based on my own experience... A project that large never feels "done" enough to actually feel right putting proper finishing details on it, he probably still constantly tinkers with it.
I found it on YouTube. He actually does apply varnish. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sxr7Lx7Fw-Q Tip: There's no talking, you can totally watch it at double speed with no problem
The patience to jigsaw 3-4" thick slabs of wood in intricate patters with a tiny wire to get perfectly perpendicular cuts is extraordinary.
Even accumulating such a large amount of good quality wood is very difficult. Dozens of pieces apprx 30" x 3.5"'x 24"'wide with no knots? C'mon!
Took literally 1000 hrs work to make & he doesn't even have safety sandals! It's a lovely art project - wood sculpture w/ passive gears over a welded metal EV. It reflects a lot of sophisticated design work.
FYI y'all, I'm just explaining that it's just a meme format thing. The "don't take it to heart" was for that- it's like hearing someone say something dumb in public. I'm not saying that it's fine, I'm not defending it, and there's nothing wrong with bringing it up to OP. I'm just explaining it. I don't appreciate the comments that suggest otherwise. I have communication difficulties, no one is perfect, please do not assume, be kind and have patience and just ask for clarification instead.
It's the "this is for the boys" meme where a guy just... does "guy things". Throwing a rock off a bridge into a slow river below, shattering a sheet of ice on the sidewalk, digging a hole on the beach as a collective effort. Silly, mindless things that tickle the "unga bunga" part of the brain that women, etc., may be "too refined" to enjoy. It doesn't mean that others can't like it, and honestly I call a group of people no matter the identity "guys". All in all, I wouldn't take it to heart.
It basically doesn't. I've never driven one but I have sat in one and the glass in the back of the car is so tilted you can basically see a tiny slit like you're driving in a tank. My current car had a camera fed rearview mirror and I no hate driving any car without one. Full, clear view out the back no matter what's in my car. No one can high beam me and the visibility at night is amazing.

Is 'overgeared' a word?

Is it using a battery, or is it using the Fred Flintstone method of locomotion?

AhHa! Confirmation that I am a guy after all - I love all those groovy gears.

Got to admire the dedication, craftmanship and patience for detail put into this.

Not quite complex enough

Am I the only one bothered that all the gears are spinning the same direction?

Some things appeal to certain demographics more than others.

Something you have to ask in this day and age: is this real?
njessup1992
Is it an actual physical object? I think so. Is it just a tuktuk with a bunch of doodads on it? Also yes?

hetriedtokillmewithaforklift
My theory is that most of the gears and internals are so precise, that a layer of finish would make them not fit anymore
MaleProstateMilker88
Maybe it's not really meant for use - or at least not yet, but he is showing or testing that it works.
monkeydwolfwood
Just a theory, maybe its to show that its actually wood. If its too shiny from protection people would claim its just plastic with wood grain print.

As a straight dude, this has zero appeal to me. I guess I'm NOT a guy? Lol I can't stand these gendered titles.
ParryLost
I know right? And people always try to explain and justify gendered crap and act like it's a totally unreasonable thing to be annoyed by.Ugh
EekumBokumEekumBokum
I'd lead with kindness and assume in their regular life, they have a lady who can't fathom the love for some machine as such.
ParryLost
Can you have some kindness for those of us who have had negative experiences with gender stereotypes and be understanding of our reaction?
EekumBokumEekumBokum
I do. I just realize that there are things that are the norm regardless of what "should" be right.
ParryLost
Oh, okay, so why should we lead with kindness then? That's not the norm either, regardless of whether it "should" be or not.
EekumBokumEekumBokum
Idk dude. I didn't sign up to be the sounding board for the frustrated.
MaleekTheFreak
That lady is one of billions. That’s an insane assumption that should be pointed out.
EekumBokumEekumBokum
It's just what the norm was for a while. Let's not pretend reality differs for others compared to what might be more ideal.
thechickenlittle
Yeah, I was thinking that's a weird title.

Maybe Unga Bunga, or Doing Mindless Things could be a title for such a channel.
ParryLost
what a boring justification for a title that's obviously based on similarly boring and depressing gender stereotypes

Or the Aztec. The rear windshield was a flattened porthole.

The Aztec was perfect and I reject this slander upon its character!

i thought it didnt have a rear windshield

It basically doesn't. I've never driven one but I have sat in one and the glass in the back of the car is so tilted you can basically see a tiny slit like you're driving in a tank. My current car had a camera fed rearview mirror and I no hate driving any car without one. Full, clear view out the back no matter what's in my car. No one can high beam me and the visibility at night is amazing.
