Toothpic box (litterally)

So far I believe you are in the lead for the smallest box but Martyn has the most complicated one!

Sure, his Omega is wonderful. By the way the technique he used to make the sides is used in luthery to make rosettes for string instruments. His idea to make a wee box with the same technique was pure genius.

You are wonderful Thomas!
I pay the coffee in Paris next time.
Have to love you too.
Big smile my friend,

Hehehe, we will thoroughly avoid any alcool-bearing beverage that comes from Corsica ;)

That’s a very small feat of engineering.

Ok it’s not wood but paper, but I did fold this origami crane few years back.
Best thoughts,

Getting there . But what about the in-lays and finish ??! :)

Ohh. Mafe. I too have folded some very small cranes. I might try and top that one.

But, that toothpick-box is going to be very, very hard to beat. Even a single grain of rice, might not be smaller than the toothpick-box.

Please ! Would someone stop this man before he starts carving a miniature handplane out of a rice grain and use a sharpened needle as the iron ?

Edit : It seems that David got the same idea regarding a grain of rice.

Wow Mads that origami is incredible! O_O

BTW I cuold get even smaller than this “box” thingie, actually my smallest drill bit is 0,1 mm and I successfully made a 0,1 mm pin for a lid yesterday. The only problem being taking proper pictures. That’s why I settled with this size, which, actually, matters ;p

Laugh you are wonderful.

Have you guys been smoking something?? I’m not going to try this, ok but I’m glad you’re having fun with it.
