Wooden Harley Model
Monday, September 24. 2007
From The Sun (UK):
Model maker Colin Webb looks ready to varnish into the distance — on a full-size Harley-Davidson made of PLYWOOD.
The green machine — with moving parts — took Colin 900 hours to make from old pieces of board.
He got the idea working at a recycling plant where plywood was dumped in landfill.
The 100kg bike is made of 82 sq ft of wood, five litres of glue and four litres of varnish.
Colin, 40, of Taunton, Somerset, said: “There were no plans. It’s all done in my head with maths.”
