Wow, that man is a great example of "engineeranuity". It would be great if folks would donate tools they no longer use or need to him. Also, an engineering scholarship from his government.

Sad, they don't seem to have the opportunities we have had. Wasn't Henry Ford a farmer?

His parents were and he spent his early years on their farm, but he did everything he could NOT to be a farmer. Much later on, he became sort of a "Gentleman Farmer" in his "tractor years".
