I've really been enjoying these as well, the end result probably won't interest me much but there's some great metal work going on.

Well here we are, nearly eight years later…

Episode 1 posted Aug 17, 2013
Episode 35 posted Aug 7, 2021

Have to say, this has been a fantastic build to watch the progress, even if frustratingly slow at times. But it looks like they are getting ready to finally install the engine.

It's been a few years but Nik and Richard have announced there will be a new feature length episode of Project Binky this Saturday! Rejoice.
Of course I know what a dipstick is, you get called something often enough you look it up!
