if you have experience welding and machining and the like, then sure.
but if you don't know how to do that, then no.

Experience doesn't mean anything. I have no experience constructing a
unicycle, but that doesn't mean I can't learn how to.

well, yeah. but learning how to build a unicycle will give you
experience in building unicycles, won't it? but yes, I guess you're
right, just because he's never done it before doesn't mean he can't.
which is why I voted yes on the poll...
but all I meant is that if he goes and tries to build a unicycle right
now, chances are, it won't turn out well at all if he's never done any
machining before.
