If any of you are or happen to be in the above area,, there is a must see. The Kalamazoo Institute of Art just opened its local artists show. Very good friend of mine thought he'd take a bit of his woodwoking in. The judge called it "a sculpture of a bulldozer" so thats what it became. Why post here? its entirely curl cherry with walnut trims. All the moving parts function and every detail is there, all at 1/16th scale. An accomplished cabinet maker would say it couldn't be done. Imagine if you will: grab irons out of 1/16 dowels that have 1/8" radius turns; each track requires over 300 seperate pieces of wood, 328 to be exact. A mere tousand man hours from rough stock to display.
ya gotta see it!
