Project Binky

No, it's nothing to do with my much missed cat. This thing is more than a little deranged and the fab work is impressive.

Episodes 1-6:

I've seen this before, probably here but I REALLY like it.

I'd LOVE to be able to do metalwork like that.

Dang...just saw this and I dont quite have enough time to watch. Will save it for later tonight.

Here's the thread from June

Here's the thread from July

Not sure why we missed August. I love this project. I think it's the thread titles that makes these threads not gain much attention here. I really enjoy watching the sheet metal work and the two blokes are funny enough to watch without me getting tired of them.

Yeah, I knew a thread had been started but couldn't find it through the search function so I started this one. I'm just glad to be able to link Episode 7 for y'all.

Thanks for reminding me ep 7 was released, I've been waiting for it.

I watched all 7 episodes last night.

Amazing fabrication work!!!

Binged on this last night and watched all seven episodes. Amazing work. The table is really awesome, definitely designed/built by someone who has done this before.

Question from a noob though: as they were building folded metal box after folded metal box, I kept thinking, jeeze, that's just another place for moisture to accumulate and rust from the inside out. I guess they could come through with seam sealer afterwords and really seal up the ingress points, but is it better to have an egress point for water, or does that just invite more in?

In reply to peter:

They're British, rust is their way of life. Though I'd guess it will be seam sealed, drain holed and cavity waxed before painting.

Ill just stick to shaving it thanks!

Okay, now that you guys made me watch all 7 episodes in 3 days what the h e double toothpicks am I supposed to do now?

Finally got around to watching episode 7. I have been wondering about how the radiator was going to fit in there. The Mini radiator is a tiny little thing and up until the factory fuel injected Minis it was on the side by the fender and not even located up front behind the grill.

I know require a classic mini. off to the interwebs/ebay.

Thirty seconds of Googling shows that Ford already offers the 1.6 Ecoboost in the Escape, which is of course available in AWD...
