When a <b>German</b> <b>engineer</b> tells you he's over-engineered something, you're in for a real treat!

I can't think of high enough praise. There exists no better combination of engineering, functionality, storytelling, humor, filmography, editing, ad infinitum. Free on YouTube. Amazing.

This video is why YouTube exists. There is absolutely nothing on TV as entertaining and gratifying.

While at university I was told we should aim to design items to be made for manufacture and maintenance. I am astounded by the levels of built in features that you designed and how end features also worked for the machining stage. Your filing Jigs are just one example of doing things better and smarter. I have no idea how long all this took but I'm impressed with the whole process being visible in the video and the outcome. Clever engineering and clever video editing. Very well done Marius!

I love how the tolerance chart goes from "Close" to "Good" directly to "Shit" so true lmao

i just realised I just watched an 80 minute video about engineering and building a machine I never needed and will probably never need in my life. But I enjoyed it very much. <br>I very much appreciate you didn't turn this into a 4 episode series of 20 minute videos. Instead you put in all the effort into creating an epic video about constructing an epic machine and the result is one of the best videos that exists on Youtube. I really hope that making videos and things the right way instead of optimising them for maximum profit or monetisation somehow pays off.

I'm going to be honest, I got to the <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AHUUXfB0qHY&t=4920">1:22:00</a> mark when you asked "Was the video too long?" and I thought "I didn't think it was too long, really good and dense 30 minute video right?" and saw the time. This was an AMAZING video and really shows all of your skills from the great engineering, the wood working, the machining, etc. Truly keep doing what you're doing and inspiring me and many others!

There is no such thing as a video that is too long or detailed. A well documented video is what make projects such as this pleasing to watch. How much, we as viewers can learn from your successes and failures, is dependent on how detailed the video is. Thank you for sharing this with us. I look forward to seeing what else you come up with.

Feedback: This is THE most impressive build video I’ve ever seen. Humor, education, solid narration, an incredible result, seamless Ad integration, and all in 1 video.<br><br>😮

wow, epic build. I see why it took as long as it did! Loved the 3d printed gearbox cutaway view

I started the video thinking, ‘1.5hrs?! Way too long’…..1.5hrs later, I reckon I could do another hour. Marius, you’re a beast.
