Jay Leno turns out to be hardcore when it comes to anachro-tech. The man know what he's talking about. So for the next few weeks Wednesday is Leno day here at the Steampunk Workshop.
Here's Jay giving us a detailed tour of his 1925 Doble Series E.
The Telectroscope

Everyone has been sending me Telectroscope links! It's been well covered in the blogosphere so I wasn't going to mention it here but Datamancer just sent me a link to a Wall Street Journal video by Andy Jordan, the fellow who profiled Doc a while back. Enjoy!
Paul Cesewski's Railcar on a Death-Defying Ride of Doom
Meredith Scheff — Tue, 06/03/2008 - 16:32
My buddy Paul Cesewski (and former shop-mate/shipyardian) built this rail-car that tickles all my maker-buttons: made from recycled parts, can go fast, utilizes an obscure form of locomotion, has a good possibility of injury, and serves no readily logical purpose other than to have a friken' great time.
This video is of him and cohorts riding said mobile on probably the funnest bit of abandoned railway around: the tracks look reminiscent of 'scary' rides designed to look dangerous, decrepit, and flimsy. But, you know, real. I especially love the part where the tracks are a good 3 feet off the ground. Unsupported.
