Stagecoach Made From 1.5m Toothpicks

“A real-life stagecoach built in Warsaw could soon be seen on display in a museum, not because of its historic nature, but because of what it’s made with. It may look like a typical stagecoach just waiting for a horse to come pull it along, but that’s far from the case. The stagecoach is made exclusively out of toothpicks — and an awful lot of glue! Terry Woodling, 72, has been making things from toothpicks since 1981 and got his latest idea after seeing a miniature replica for sale. “I started with the wheels first,” Woodling said. That, he says, was the easy part. “It’s a little more than a toothpick in length,” he said when describing the width of part of the wheel. It’s taken a lot of those little guys: 1.5 million toothpicks to be exact. It hasn’t been cheap, either. That’s because Woodling estimates he’s spent more than $1,200 in toothpicks alone.” LINK

Talking about logging machineries, take a look at this harvester that can cut, delimb, and cross cut logs in seconds! Link

(Note: this particular machine, built by AFM Harvester, seems to be operating in a tree farm, not an old growth forest). Link: Neatorama
