This video is a hard one to write a review for. One the one hand it's a good look at the machine but on the other I felt like it was a bit of a waste of time to watch. I even joined the yahoo group after watching the video and I don't recall anyone having finished building one of these machines. The video itself is really a series of still pictures with a little bit of video at the end, but I'd say 90% of the videos is just looking at still pictures.

I can't downplay the machine itself since it seems like a cool approach to getting a machine that does a number of operations without the incredible investment it would take to buy machines to do the work. In building this machine you're also going to have to have a machine shop do some work for you like boring out a couple of the cylinders in the upper block, and well, machine shops aren't cheap. Other than that the machine is really pretty straight forward and not complicated. If I didn't have any machines, I'd be tempted to try and build one.

I don't know if I would recommend this one or not if you're someone that already has some machines or if you're someone that is just looking for an interesting video, but if you are interested in building this machine then I would say go ahead, after all a picture is worth a thousand words.

It looks like the finished machine would be useful, but the video leaves something to be desired. As the other review mentioned it is really a collection of still photo's with audio and not at all what I expected.

The video was a good start on a worthwhile project. It lacks in assuming knowledge of the building process that may be covered in drawings or other materials. Makes me want to build one.
