I was amazed at what was done with wood chips. See http://www.odditycentral.com/pics/the-u ... obkov.html

That's pretty amazing. Does Shopsmith make an SPT for that? I'd buy one if they did.

It can help. It's called a Jointer! The rest of the craftsmanship is on the user though.

I was really hoping for something involving a little less work :)

Wow, I hope the maid doesn't fire up the vacuum too close to those works of art :D

Article says "takes around six months t complete, at a work rate of 10 to 12 hours a day, with no days off. " And apparently he doesn't sell them.
How does he eat and keep the heat on? Personally, I have to buy food and keep the house reasonably warm (but not the shop) and it takes money. I didn't think Mother Russia guaranteed anything to anyone anymore.

Still, that is just some pretty amazing work. My wood chips always end up looking like a pile of wood chips. Maybe I could spray it with poly and call it abstract art?? :eek:

Can't believe they're made from wood chips until I gave a closer look. Looks like the real thing. Great talent, skills and patience needed to create one. Simply incredible!
