dann2707 Posted November 26, 2013 Report Share Posted November 26, 2013 Haha okay an example would be hearing a car coming around a corner and you randomly guess it's a red vauxhall corsa, if it turns out to be a red vauxhall corsa then I go in this weird state for a 10 seconds (I don't collapse or anything stupid like that haha) but it just feels really strange on the inside but good but I forget what actually happened to make me feel like that) Does that make any more sense?!

*gentlydoesit Posted November 26, 2013 Report Share Posted November 26, 2013 looking at and holding anything cnc machined from billet, (any material) made to precision for a specific intricate use, the more complex the better.

SamKidney Posted November 26, 2013 Report Share Posted November 26, 2013 Taking something to bits, putting it back together and seeing it work as intended, or better than before. Thats why I love engine rebuilds at work. Its all intricate and precise ... putting it all back together and turning the key to hear it run for the first time knowing it was my hands that made it possible is an amazing feeling. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

onzatpro09 Posted November 26, 2013 Report Share Posted November 26, 2013 Using things I've made in GCSE engineering. All of my class are dumb-dumbs who can't draw an isometric cube, let alone get a GCSE, so my products generally look and work nice compared to their's and that makes me happy Fitting new bits/general tinkering with my bike, Fiddling with my multitool, Guessing the outcome of random events and thinking I'm a psychic ninja if I get it right, Sleeping on the cold side of my pillow.

SamKidney Posted November 26, 2013 Report Share Posted November 26, 2013 I'd say an engine rebuild is a fairly big thing Its not a major part of my life though, just something I enjoy doing when I get the opportunity to It was meant more of an example of the type of thing I enjoy. I just love taking things to pieces, seeing how they work and then building them again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
