    What sized collets does it take and is it rigid enough to take carbide?

    If my six year old made that for me, I'd be impressed. Otherwise, not so much.

    Every home should be without one.

    I love it.

    That looks less like a torso and more like the pelvic region to me. Does torso mean something else in the UK or is he just being polite?

    If he were here and painted that lime green and purple polka-dot he could get a huge NEA grant to help him persue his "art"

    More evidence that there is no object that someone will not try to turn into a lamp or a clock.

    Some sell a pile of bricks or a stack of tyres to an art gallery for thousands of pounds. This is the beauty of personal choice, each piece is unique.

    Don't like it??

    Don't buy it!

    Went to visit the Grand Rapids Art Prize last weekend.

    http://www.artprize.org/

    One of the entries was a pile of old analog televisions, radios, and alarm clocks and other miscellaneous consumer electronics thrown in a pile in a stairwell. All of the TVs were on and tuned to the now nonexistant analog stations snow in the screens, static from the speakers. Yep... creative...
