      Somebody want to buy some tools? I'm NEVER going to be that good.

        I'm good, but not that good. I think that guy has way too much time on his hands.

            Check out the Vespa! I see a MDF version in Rod's future project list!

              Very impressive. I doubt that I'll ever get to that level. I'd say the Vespa and the bike are the most impressive of the bunch.

                I'm almost that good with flat work but the wheeled stuff, now that is impressive.

                  This is gonna sound like hubris, but I could do some of those doors right now. I could also do the stairs, it would just take me a lot longer. Now the Vespa and the motorbike I'd have problems with but could probably get them done. It is not basic woodworking, but it is fairly straightforward, build the form then bend the wood to it. It looks like he used an existing Vespa for the form to bend the wood to.

                    That guy's good. I'll just say I'm not.

                      He is good, but here is the benchmark I find most intimidating, and I will never approach the skill he demonstrates.
