I still have an idle V12 engine here and think to make something like this one

Might be not that easy to clean it so nicely. Maybe someone has an idea how to clean and then preserve. Glas bead blasting maybe?

Some guy was throwing out some old 5 series rims and I thought about making some kind of table out of them. Maybe you can soak the whole engine in some kind of solvent or something.

Ohh I love the idea of stumbling to the bathroom in the middle of the night and kicking that thing, that table does not suit my lifestyle but I love it.
