Hopefully I'm not stepping on any toes, but I thought I might create a thread which has links to metalworking projects that we've found on other sites. I've seen some beauties over time, which are ideal to browse through on a quiet or rainy day, and sometimes I wish I could find old ones I've seen again but for the life of me cannot find it in my bookmarks nor through Google.
One I've just started going through - The alteration of a BMW e39, I greatly enjoy it when someone does the majority of fabrication work themselves.

An old favourite of mine, I check up on it from time to time, and I've shared it here and there a few times. Basically, fellow begins a huge vehicle customisation project, and it turns into him creating his own engineering business. He builds his own 100T press, and I believe he managed to score himself a robotic manufacturing arm! That's all alongside making his own vehicle chassis frame, an interesting suspension setup, and a number of other curious bits and pieces.

Hydraulic tube bender, to do with a senior engineering studies project. A very impressive device!

Please feel free to add your own, I love seeing what some people create for themselves, as quite often I learn something new and useful, or at the very least gain a pleasant little feeling of motivation :)
