Miniature Machine Shop
My wife works at a school with a lady named Esther; Esther's dad, Mr Randazzo, is a retired cabinet maker and, as such, is quite the woodworker.
His specialty is what I would call "kinetic art": wooden creations with gears and pullies that spin and move, entrancing the viewer. They look a lot like clock mechanisms, only with the inner workings exposed. He brought one of his latest creations to the school today for the kids to view, this one being a miniature machine shop. Powered by a small steam engine (running on compressed air for today's purposes) the tools are fully functional, as he demonstrated by cutting a thin shim on the jig saw. He made everything you see here from scratch, including most of the (non standard) fasteners.            K
