In our machining program (pikes peak community college) the manual lab projects are parts for a diesel cycle. the logic being that if a kid does his projects right that he can have a running 2-stroke. While only a few get done (and even fewer running) each year, they are still quite cool and some guys get very artistic with them. If I can get it under 80k I will put a video in a subsequent post of mine running, else wise I will put up a still.
