February Update
Added 2024-02-22 13:46:00 +0000 UTCYou deserve far more than a quick exclusive look at some of the footage coming out in the upcoming Episode 39 of Project Binky, but we thought you might like to take a look anyway. It's all hands to the pump trying to nail down what will be an epic tale almost certainly split into two episodes because there's just so much to show you.
In addition to this, we've got some fantastic new content to bring you once Ep.39 hits. We've got a beautiful Jaguar C-type replica film, a factory visit and test drive at Great British Sportscars where Richard gets to blast their amazing Zero demonstrator around the Nottinghamshire countryside, we've got an upcoming film on one of the peerless Retropower's builds - the astonishing supercharged Busso powered Lancia Stratos replica and much more besides.
We hope to reward your patience with not only the shed based shenanigans that you love, but some more cracking content - and plenty of all of it - coming very soon.
Cheers!
Nik, Richard and Ben.

it's looking that way now

2024-03-06 04:01:39 +0000 UTCI know it'll be worth the wait. As crazy as it is to go to this much work for the instruments, I have taken a similar approach to the problems on my project and have yet to regret it - the time investment sucks, but the results matching what's in my head make it worth it! I have no problem keeping the faith, you guys will deliver something incredible!

2024-02-28 17:30:22 +0000 UTCThe only problem with 3D printing is a shocking lack of Cardboard Aided Design. I hope there are some random flanges that will be necessary for the installation.

2024-02-24 00:41:06 +0000 UTCI'm re-watching the scissor lift build now. That's as lot of mig action that is...
James Foster
2024-02-23 21:55:12 +0000 UTCOf course.

2024-02-23 21:32:03 +0000 UTCWe got a Howie Did It for an engine lift for the Escarot. Surely an 18 month odyssey to make a PCB is worthy of its own special...
James Foster
2024-02-23 21:08:04 +0000 UTCI'm not sure you're helping...
James Foster
2024-02-23 21:01:27 +0000 UTCI didn't say it doesn't take skill, Daniel. You should think before you post.
Dan North
2024-02-23 14:27:08 +0000 UTCThis feels very British... We Will Never Surrender! Well Done, Chaps!
Carlin Comm
2024-02-23 14:17:02 +0000 UTCOoh, more insanity to come? I cannot wait. Keep up the weird and unusual work chaps.
Sister Jayne
2024-02-23 08:46:21 +0000 UTCLay out a Mini ITX motherboard and I dare you to still say that layout does not require skill! xD
Daniel Gerber
2024-02-23 08:27:56 +0000 UTCTell that to the guys doing 32 layer designs with all matter of blind and buried vias, controlled impedance and length matching of traces for 3.2Gb/s over 100s of lines! Or making pico-Amp sensitivity analog frontends.
Daniel Gerber
2024-02-23 08:25:38 +0000 UTCAlways.
Daniel Gerber
2024-02-23 08:20:42 +0000 UTCWhat's 6 more years? I'll wait. The Million Dollar Mini is a good description!
Bruce Gorney
2024-02-22 23:10:38 +0000 UTCGive it an image of Binky and a version of the text "Because... Nik!" And I would definitely order that shirt!
Jonathon Carey
2024-02-22 21:11:10 +0000 UTCOh! I just noticed there will probably be a whole episode on the conversion of a CNC mill to do the soldering. Nice!
Phill Glasson
2024-02-22 21:10:11 +0000 UTCJust wondering why the order of warning lights is "amb red red amb red red". Wouldn't it more aesthetically pleasing if it were "amb red red red red amb"? (he said knowing it might delay ep39 by another 6 months. ;-)
Phill Glasson
2024-02-22 21:06:47 +0000 UTCI’d buy a “because Nick” t-shirt

2024-02-22 20:32:47 +0000 UTCI am still the odds on favorite to drink myself to death before the final Binky episode is produced. I wonder if there is YouTube in hell?
Ed Walters
2024-02-22 20:15:08 +0000 UTCLol I work in ev conversions and we get our pcbs made in China with a couple of weeks turnaround. But as usual this is epic! How many mugs of tea did this take 😀
The Modscotsman
2024-02-22 19:03:58 +0000 UTCPeople have been trying to print circuit boards like this for years with little success, I can't believe you guys got it to work through sheer stubbornness. When you finish the car please document everything you've learned about the process and share it.

2024-02-22 18:53:16 +0000 UTCooooooo 39 and possibly 40!!! cannot wait guys yous are doing super serious hard stuffs and cannot wait to sit and watch :) keep er lit ;)
jamie rafferty
2024-02-22 18:23:17 +0000 UTCThe last 5% takes 95% of the time...
Chris Corse
2024-02-22 18:16:43 +0000 UTCI'm glad you're gently working us up to ep 39 (and 40?). I reckon it'd be heart attack time if you surprised us with a full half hour (longer??!) video, and after all this time I'm certainly in the age bracket for it....
James Aston
2024-02-22 17:32:31 +0000 UTCWell that came out rather nice! There must be a market for this?
Louis
2024-02-22 17:23:24 +0000 UTCCan't wait for episode 39, you guys are insane though! 😂
Eoin Donoghue
2024-02-22 16:31:20 +0000 UTCI’m here until the end. Or my demise. Whichever comes first

2024-02-22 15:50:01 +0000 UTCV6 I think. The circular ceramic heating element was a game changer.

Deano
2024-02-22 15:00:36 +0000 UTC"Because Nik..." is a t-shirt waiting to happen.
Graham Dallas
2024-02-22 14:57:18 +0000 UTCNice! I was wondering why you weren't just having circuit boards made for you but I knew that there had to be a reason. Even if that reason was "because..._Nik._"
Andy Ihnatko
2024-02-22 14:20:13 +0000 UTCThe scale of difficulty here is crazy. I've done a tiny amount of circuit design.. enough to know that the actual layout of the board is really the easy part; it's the design of the circuit itself that is where the skill lays. It's one thing to have a board all laid out - but it's not until you have it populated [and the code written] that you get to find out if it WORKS. So +1000 respects for even attempting this. This stuff is a special kind of S&M.
Dan North
2024-02-22 14:15:40 +0000 UTCLovely...!
Mike S.
2024-02-22 14:03:15 +0000 UTCAnd we thought you'd vanished without a trace. In a manner of speaking. So to say. Nudge nudge, etc.
Jonathan Schmidt
2024-02-22 14:01:03 +0000 UTCAlthough 'Better' was an absolute banger.

2024-02-22 13:57:00 +0000 UTCgreat stuff fellas sounds like you are getting back on track to get a couple eps out to the customers
Trev
2024-02-22 13:56:43 +0000 UTCYou remember when Guns n’ Roses spent an eternity working on Chinese Democracy and it turned out after 8 years and many rewrites by a crazy perfectionist to be a load of utter shit? Yeah, don’t do that.
Grant Browning
2024-02-22 13:56:10 +0000 UTCThanks guys, can't wait on episode 39, but not holding my breath 🥳

2024-02-22 13:53:44 +0000 UTCKeep your head down and chin up, and you'll be alright
Ian Berg
2024-02-22 13:53:09 +0000 UTCThe insanity of running your own circuit boards, only an endeavour Mr Blackhurst would do and that Mr Brunning would tolerate. Looking forward to the videos.
Jitesh Mistry
2024-02-22 13:53:05 +0000 UTCThey say, the definition of insanity is Nik. 😂 Love you guys and I'm so happy that the next episodes are on their way!
Sebastian Martin
2024-02-22 13:51:03 +0000 UTCYou guys never let us down!

2024-02-22 13:51:02 +0000 UTCIs that an E3D hot end? Squidging solder out?
