Great video, thanks for sharing!

I got 2nd overall that year & should have won but due to a flat front & rear tyre at the same time on my IT490 bike for the last 10kms I watched jeff ride away from me when I had the legs on him. The last person to speak in this vid is my uncle Mike burns ( brother of ray ) both originally from oamaru then California. He was ranked 4th in the world as an off road racer doing the baja, mint 400 & Riverside etc etc. He come back from America with the idea of this event so along with another oamatu local whos name slips my mind atm organised it..then he basically setout the course. Thanks Mike! I loved these events mate

I was quite enjoying it right up to when hellen clarke arrived, I then stopped watching

Might be snow on the roof but plenty of heat in the fire!

Pure genius. I love it.

I used to visit the Williams farm where the clearing sale was.

What an amazing man!

Was up there 2 months ago, apparently now she is only 40% full

Great Video, Fantastic Project, thanks for sharing

Great Video, a very interesting and innovative project, there are some high profile backers to this scheme, thanks for sharing

Bluetooth 11:13 onwards, great chill sounds

Very Very interesting. Thanks

I had the pleasure of working for a number of these people and it was a pleasure to work with them as well. The negative that I have to say is how stupid the Minister of Electricity or what ever his portfolio was; yes Max Bradford was a something ending in ICK. No wonder he escaped to Queensland as soon as he got his government cheque!

Men and their sheds, there's still hope for NZ men.

Thank you!!

My Dad & his mate were employed as rabbit shooters up in the MacKenzie many years ago. I well remember him saying they were so vast in numbers that you'd swear the hills themselves were moving when they ran across them.

i was listening for that straight 6 sound . and there it was though very raced up

The engineer on this job is so out of his league stick to subdivision bra

Magnificent! 👍🏻

i wonder how the it managed when the floods of 2021 came through. imagine making the decision of breaking that dam to let the water out in that 97 flood

And then came the valiant charger

My dad had a mk1 zephyr 6 with whitewall tyres and 1 spot light and 1 fog light good car until it rains, then you couldn't do more than 40mph because of the vacuum wipers 🤣

What was done to make it go like it does, live my Ford to be like this

Marvellous video allowing the wonderful Archie Brennan to speak.

Love all this. Would like to know how those verticals are woven and how the back is finished.

One of those oh f*ck moments at the end

Cool!….when will part three be out?

I loved my years in Timaru...Arrived in Timaru from the UK in 1970 as a 14yr old ..It was a an eye opener in many ways.I left in 83 for employment but came back in 89 for a year and then moved on to Dunedin where I have lived every since...Yet Timaru is my home town...My Youth was spent there either on my motor bike riding the Streets or down Caroline Bay at Christmas or even before the Wharves all chnaged ..Fishing off no3 wharf..a Great place to live

The dam has changed many farms, especially those on lighter soils. Some places that burnt off every summer and didn't really produce much are now green dairy farms....probably not as environmentally friendly as the original vision of highly productive arable farms on that land, but economics says dairying is a better use of the water. On top of that, shares in the dam company are now very valuable (having started off cheap, but with monthly water charges based on shares owned), now farms with water shares are worth way more than farms without water.

A+

G'day, To begin, permit me to mention that I have actually flown something which was measurably worse than the 1903 Wright Flyer-1..., and if you backtrack me to my "Personal Aeroplanology..." playlist, therein to find, "The 8-Hp, 1975, Red Baron Skycraft Scout...", and "National Transportation Museum ; Visiting My First Aeroplane...!" you may fact-check me on that otherwise obscure claim to being "qualified" to pass an opinion on this Replica and Documentary illustration thereof. Point One...; These Enthusiasts have, without mentioning it, SIGNIFICANTLY Added to Pearse's Design - in that their Airframe features a RUDDER...; which is entirely absent from Pearse's 1907 Patent Application General Arrangement Drawing, published in Gordon Ogilvie's 1973 book "The Riddle Of Richard Pearse". And if Glen Curtis was a lying Scumbag for adding retrofitted Wingspars and Ailerons onto Samuel Langley's "Aerodrome" before Flying it for the Smithsonian Institution in support of their fabrication if false claims that Langley's Aerodrome "could have flown..." ; then what are we to make of Retrofitting a Rudder onto the "Replica" of Pearse's Aircraft...? Could Pearse's Aircraft have flown, IF it had a Rudder ??? That isn't an interesting question because he tried and was seen to crash EVERY time he tried to fly his version - without a Rudder. To meaningfully recreate Pearse's First Fright..., they will first need to remove the Rudder from the "Replica". Point Two... Unless this "Replica" is fitted with an accurate Reproduction of Pearse's original Sheetmetal Forge-Welded 1903 Propeller...; then no attempt to fly the "Replica" will yield ANY Data worth consideration... Could Pearse have flown - if he had have had a Wright-Brothers' Helically-Pitched Laminated Wooden Propeller ??? - it's an irrelevant question. Point Three... If that Airframe is to have ANY Chance of flying - even in Ground Effect, then the Chordwise Gaps between the Outer Wings and the Centre Section will have to be covered over and sealed...; otherwise instead of having one fairly low aspect-ratio Wing, generating only 2 Wingtip Vortices..., they will be trying to fly under 3 very low aspect-ratio Wings generating Four Vortices with the central two being contra-rotating pairs of coupled Vortices... It's difficult to imagine any way of crippling the chances of that "Replica" getting off the Ground..., than by trying to fly it without any Gap Covers to seal off the High Pressure under the Wing from the Low Pressure above the Wing... Other than that - the Clown from the Crowd opining about the Wright Brothers having used a Catapault..., was peddling a falsehood ; in that the Falling Weight Catapault was NOT used by the Wrights in 1903, it was about 1905 or 1907 before they hit on the technique - and after they put Wheels on the Model B, the Catapault Towers went the way of Wooden Monorail Take-off Tracks with a drop-able Trolley... So, yeah...; all this was 10 years ago. How did they get on, when they tried to fly it ? One wonders... Such is life, Have a good one... Stay safe. ;-p Ciao !

11:00 - 12:00

Marvellous! What a treasure to have! So much to learn from this.

Very Interesting. Thanks Jeff. Btw I'm sure you were in my class at school🙂

👍🇳🇿

RP got off the ground before the Wright Brothers and the Americans can suck it up👍🇳🇿

what is this music please

FANTASTIC

I'm only reading up on this to get some tuning info for the Zephyr six, but this a great story.

These same famers make it very difficult for experienced hunters to offer their services for free because of a few idiots. I'm a retired Forest Service culler and I found it difficult. Thinking some farmers are their own worst enemies.

A shed, some No. 8 wire and a bit of Kiwi ingenuity... ticks all the boxes. Bravo.

Why doesn't this have more views? I love people who build things, instruments.... and especially people who aren't afraid to try things that they don't know how to do.... just GO for it and learn along the way. If he knew what he was getting himself into beforehand, it might have been too daunting to even start. I'm hooked on the Martin Molin, the Marble Machine guy, and he's built several unique instruments. If you like this, check out Wintergatan & Marble Machine.

Adrian Mann did with his own two hands what it takes TEAMS of people to do, at say Steinway, or Bosendorfer. They bring together many many specialists doing very special tasks, and they are NOT multi trained. They stick to just one part, whereas Adrian did it ALL. He did all of the steps. In the last centuries of piano making, he is one of a kind. A dedicated Genius.

This young man is a genius. He is totally building a unique piano, and all from his creative brain, and he is doing it all by himself, every step of the way. No one in this day and age has done anything like what he is doing.

he wanted to scary all the animals in his ranch.... why a psycho.....

Wow. This video was made in 2012. What's happened in the last 9 years??

Where in the heck would a person get strings that LOOOOONG? Must be custom made.... Great job!

Very talented and creative young man...with tremendous potential.

Is there a part 3?

Nice work. Also ---- at 6:29 ....... I like that sound ---- that note ---- a G! Lovely.
