This is AMAZING!!!

And to think, I can't even put together a plastic model of a truck without getting glue everywhere!

I found this video on a motorcycle site I belong to:

YouTube - World's only 100 % wood 1941 Indian motorcycle (english.V)

I thought I'd watch a minute or two of it and move on, but as the video unfolds, I found myself completely engrossed in the intricate work this man put into the model. The chain is made of 550 separate pieces of wood!!

Wow, I'm impressed... an exquisite piece indeed and a seriously fine piece of Iron to replicate......

I to had intentions on a quick view, but felt compelled to watch the whole video after being amazed at the scale of detail and craftmanship involved in such an intricate piece.

Thanks for posting it !

I figure if he got it done and SOLD it - he could go get a brand new Indian from the new Indian Motorcycle Company and the house and garage to keep it in...

DANG what a piece of work!

(Also a whole new meaning for the term "Wooden Indian")

Is that an oil leak at the cylinder?

That is one great piece of art.

The closest I could get is a KOA wood seat for my chopper project.

We tried for a G2G, but the circumstances got overran by an event (kinda sorta)...

Some big doin' going on at Shelby Farms Park - I still don't know what everyone else that was going to try and be there did. I drove around the park for a while and went home & ate a doggone feast! *I went through the base commisary on the way TO IT and discovered steak on sale

So now I still have half of it all left in spite of me. I'm lookin' now at how much brush I can safely stack around a tree I dropped in my backyard and thinking about next weekend. I expect to set a blaze, and maybe burn some more beef at the same time. One thing for sho:

MY PLACE don't never git overbooked! *winkezzz*
