I admire what he does too. Have you seen that massive steam engine he has that's right out of the industrial revolution? IIRC it has a massive belt and flywheel set up on it and runs smooth as silk. The video I saw showed all the plumbing for it along with the huge water tank and boiler.
I'd love to check out his stuff in person. I wonder if there are any tours of his garage complex open to the public? The vids are cool though...
