Vietnamese artisans create “alien-style” wooden vehicles

“ND Woodworking Art” is the YouTube channel of talented Vietnamese carpenter Truong Van Dao from Tu Son, Bac Ninh. Previously, Dao had made waves with a series of impressive videos sculpting popular car models like the Ferrari 250 GTO, Lamborghini Sian, BMW 328 Hommage, and Tesla Cybertruck. Recently, he once again amazed the online community with a wooden vehicle of his unique design.

In a video titled “I Built A Vehicle For The Alien,” 29-year-old Dao had to come up with the concept and design the frame himself using steel bars. This sets his latest project apart from his previous works, where he replicated existing car models.

The next stage involved assembling the drivetrain. The vehicle is equipped with a relatively simple electric motor connected to a battery placed under the floor. According to Dao, the suspension and tires on this unique vehicle were sourced from an All-Terrain Vehicle (ATV). Therefore, if carefully perfected, this “alien-inspired” vehicle could be suitable for off-road driving.

Afterwards, Dao and his team completed the wooden exterior of the vehicle. Details such as mudguards, light covers, and doors were intricately carved by the skilled craftsman. In addition, he added blue LED strips to the front and rear, creating a visually stunning lighting effect when the vehicle is in motion.

Inside, the vehicle features two wooden seats with integrated headrests and leather upholstery. Details like the door handles and roof were also meticulously finished with leather. The unique spaceship-inspired steering wheel resembles those found in supercars, for example the Pagani Huayra, and operates entirely on electricity through a button control system.
