Woah, that is really cool! Who made it, how did they make it, and is it functional?

That has to be the neatest way to test a CNC program that I can think of. I mean, sure, machinist wax will work and it's reusable and doesn't dull bits... But it melts pretty easy and you can't polish and stain it to have a cool conversation piece. Though it's lots cheaper than a solid block of wood that large and won't break bits if you fast traverse with the bit still in the piece....

EDIT: Waaaiiiit. What's all that Drexel college paraphernalia doing under that wheel?

Sweet!

All you need now is a set of restroom keys attached to it and it will be perfect.

Yes Elgin, didn't we just have this conversation? Best part is we could totally make one of those(OK not really, but I know someone who can...) I want one for FRC next year.....

Do these come in spinners?

I am afraid they would break if they were on a car.
