OPERATIONAL V-12 ENGINE THAT FITS IN THE PALM OF YOUR HAND.
This is not CNC technology; this guy made everything at home on his lathe and drill press. Took 1220 hours (a year and a half) to make the 261 pieces. Note the end-loaded crankshaft into the block (like an Offy), 12 individual cylinder heads, TINY rods and pistons, dual "Underhead" cams with push-rods to rockers in the heads. And, he did running-in using an electric drill driving the crankshaft.

Some people are like Slinkies - they serve no useful purpose, but they still bring a smile to your face when you push them downstairs.
