I found this talented woodworker’s site tonight through a post on Make Magazine’s blog. He makes very well crafted furniture in the Chippendale style, but also creates art pieces with meta-humor baked in. Some appear self-animated, the rest are a fun juxtaposition of solid craftsmanship and glaring oversights.

Heck Gary, that’s nothing. I’ve been building stuff like that since I started. The only difference between his pieces and mine is the quality and craftsmanship, but I’ve gotten all the mistakes down to perfection. And I hate to brag, but my mistakes are a lot worse than his. Thanks for showing us this this fun stuff.
