The blunt instruments that are my words are failing me on this one. As the title says - this HAS to be a goof. Right?

A goof? No. He also has this dovetail saw:

I have an old chain morticer that looks something like that 'dovetail saw,' only upside down. It's great because you get square corners and can cut really deep mortices.

Genius , pure genius. I wonder how that thing drives after turning a few dozen bowls. At some point I'd think the cost of front end alignments and wheel bearings would outpace the price of a new oneway.

the car may be a wreck and unfit to drive

This one could explain part of that.

Yeah? I bet if he keeps doing this, he won't be able to either. :D

The Popular Mech,Pop Sci.etc magazines of the 1930-1950 era(aprox) magazines had things like that often. One guy had a boat ,ferry, raft craft .He would drive his car onto it and then use a belt on one of the wheels to power it. High tech then, goofy entertainment now.

He has 48 videos on Youtube, most of them "Tongue in cheek" humor.

This is my fav:

We all had a good laugh at that here in the office. Showed it to our resident neanderthal... his comment? "Is he serious?" and then very drily: "I gotta try that" as he walked out the door...

I can't imagine his bowl turning creates a fraction of the stresses that actually driving does. That suspension and bearings were, presumablydesigned to carry several thousand pounds of weight being constantly jarred and jostled by varying road surfaces.

if he use the other wheels a equal amount of time then the damage should equal out
