[BigK]

Wow. Just unbelievable.

[173rdABN]

I'm done the day I have to buy white linen gloves to handle one of my guns...

Ah, the singing bird pistols again.  I find stuff like this absolutely fascinating.  :up:

[RED333]

USELESS, but that is just me, ya I know, it took a LOT of work,

But for what, to see and hear a very little bird.

Now the V8 chainsaw, mini V8 engines, that stuff is cool.

[NRA]

Those are ok but my surplus are much nicer............... at least to me they are.

For me I don't find the beauty in the diamonds, gold or pearls. I find it in the mechical abilities of old world craftsmen. Remember this was when the world had never heard of a calculator, digital micrometers or most machines. I find it fascinating in that I cannot visualize how it works.

 

In the same way RED333 finds mini V8 fascinating, which I do too, I find these fascinating. Not because of their outward beauty but because of their complexity.

Love ingenuity

You all need to take a trip to Fairfax. Been there twice in last 8 months but I spend so much time staring at the 1911s and movie guns that I keep running out of time. So I have to go back. Take a gun, they also have a range they are super proud of. But only go if you like rare, beautiful, and famous guns or just guns in general. And shooting. Otherwise its boring.

That is a pretty amazing little toy. Can't imagine how long it took to make. Also can't fathom the great stuff I could buy with what they are worth.

V8 chainsaws scare the crap out of me......very cool if your serious about firewood and logging. I view firearms as a tool but like Dolomite stated about the complexity, these things were made before calipers, CNC and all that fancy technology we have today. True works of art in function, I guess the diamonds and crap are just "bling".
