I intend to travel to the moon in a wheelie bin!

And indeed, I'm further along the road to success than he is, by way of the fact that I have a wheelie bin.

His man cave looks like a face.

There was an article on a superb wooden bicycle a couple of years ago, iirc a lad built it for his college work and the carpentry/joinery was fantastic - he even had a wooden chain with wooden rivets etc.

The 'freewheel' mechanism is genius.
