      Wow, some of those parts look almost as small as the electronics components that I deal with at work. I bet that there's lots of use of a magnifying glass and probably tweezers as well.

      Cool stuff.

          Oh, come on. You know they are just using the technology from Hollywood used in "Honey, I Shrunk the Tools!"

              That is too amazing to me. When I read his post, something jumped out:

              I started this in 1999 when I made some of these Chester County Spice cabinets in 1/12th scale..... I had always wanted to do a "Exploded View" of one..... well I got it done!!!!

              This chest is about 1 1/2" tall, made of 200 year old cherry, swiss pear, popular and briar... the lock works, it has a through mortice and tenon door frame and a bunch of little dovetails...... even has secret compartments


              If I read this right, he started the chest 8 years ago and has now finished it. I guess I should feel good because my projects take that long and they're a lot bigger.
