Pickering were this was shot is a really scenic car drive from were I live. Every year they hold a traction engine rally and have done for more years than I can remember.
Doubleboost is a machinist a metal worker extraordinaire if you have any interest in any thing mechanical go check him out.
Pickering is also the home of one of the best steam engine railways in the UK.

Get out to the shed and make something! In fact, go and make something complex, scrap it and learn from the experience. I have cocked all sorts of things up in the search for excellence and I truly think I have learnt from every single mistake. It might be a speed/feed thing to snapping an M2 tap, to miscalculating flutes spacing, to dropping a solid carbide slot mill on the mill vice, to having a small part fly out of my fingers whilst polishing. The important thing is a I learnt from every single mistake.
