How Is This Possible?



No part of this block was broken off and then reattached. So how did Steve Ramsey drive a nail through the middle of it? Leave your guess in the comments, and then watch the video at the link to see him do it.

drive the nail into a tree and then let the tree grow for x amount of time until the nail is absorbed into it. then cut the piece of wood with the nail in it out and shape your sculpture.

I thought this would be an optical illusion of some sort & I was really surprised with how it was done. I'd love to try it myself, but I'd probably loose a finger or two just cutting the slots in the wood.

Just out of interest... does anyone know whether you can do it with any type of wood, or is it only a specific type?

Could be a set of pin gauges for determining if a certain inner diameter is within a specified range...

Collection of stone core samples. Or possibly a collection of ferrite cores...But I don't know why you'd have a numbered collection of those. "Bug Or Feature", Mens XL, Ash Grey

This is actually one of the first crayon sets with which they 'colored' in each individual frame of B/W television before they were photographed and send to space, in order to arrive in your television set as moving images.

Since this work wasn't necessary eventually, they were later utilised as 'resting poles': If an office worker got tired, two of the sticks were to be put into each one of the respected nostrils, in order to keep one's head up while resting.

A household nuclear reactor that only requires a claw-foot tub to operate. However, last time I checked Sears Roebuck & Co has discontinued this item.

It's the actual, honest to Goddess keyboard used to engage the 'Corbomite Manuever'... (Episode: TOS 003 - Corbomite Maneuver, The. Season 1 Ep. 10. Air Date: 11/10/1966) should it ever need to be engaged. Original Star Trek Fans will understand and be afraid, very afraid...
