The Amazing Mr. Rivett


There is a machining web site that I frequent with some amazing craftsmen. A fellow that builds displays for museums will sometime post things he has made. He has just posted another amazing tool box that I just had to share. Everything works, the saw has little teeth on it that cut, the planer will shave wood etc. This guy is amazing. Enjoy!

Here is the original link .
and another link to a scale model classroom he built. Remember everything you see was made by hand from scratch and it works. Check out the postage stamp for and idea of scale for the classroom. It's really just insane how great his work is.

Wow... that is just mind-boggling! I know how hard it is to make stuff about five times that size that DOESN'T work (and doesn't look anywhere near that good!).

That's the finest miniature work I've ever seen. I've seen the Statue of Liberty sculpted out of a grain of rice, but you could do anything with it!

Beautiful work by Mr. Rivitt. Thanks for showing.
