Genius , pure genius. I wonder how that thing drives after turning a few dozen bowls. At some point I'd think the cost of front end alignments and wheel bearings would outpace the price of a new oneway.

He has 48 videos on Youtube, most of them "Tongue in cheek" humor.

We all had a good laugh at that here in the office. Showed it to our resident neanderthal... his comment? "Is he serious?" and then very drily: "I gotta try that" as he walked out the door...
