Sweet! It almost looks like Earth has Saturnian rings!

That image is a part of my soul... :)

I "know" Eric (via the AFOL community). Great to see new work from him.

Awesome... but still too much rummaging. We sort ours (around 130,000 elements) in smaller drawer systems with a detailed labeling system to make identifying and pulling much faster. Easier on the pieces themselves too (avoiding scratching/scuffing) since you aren't scrounging them around in bins against one another.

My immediate guess (as an amateur wookworker, very little metalwork experience) was that each actually used 2 coins. The pres was ground/cut out of one, no worries about keeping the pres part pretty... only the surrounding coin would matter and be kept intact, and then the background was cut/ground away from the other. Leaving one with a hole and the other with just the pres "cut out".

Money does buy (a certain shade of ) happiness.

Heh. For a moment I thought "Uh, that dishwasher doesn't look very vintage to me, my friends just put that exact model in their home a couple of years ago"... before I looked through the entire album and saw that the stainless steel one shown above isn't the one you were referring to. :P

Well, I can't speak for the rest of you guys, but every woman I encounter is *always* flirting with me.

Wow... now this poor guy is *never* going to get out of doing anything on the honey-do list.
"I really don't feel like it, sweetie"

Totally remember it... along with other S&M Krofft productions... Space Nuts, Land of the Lost, Lost Saucer, Electra woman and Dyna girl, Dr Shrinker, Wonderbug, Bugaloos, etc etc. I miss those after-school afternoons of the mid-late 70s. :)
