The Biggest Little Saws You’ve Never Seen

While you’ll want to check out the project page (linked alongside here) for all the photos and details, here’s a quick excerpt from that page and a handful of photos…

A slightly absurd project to build 1:2 scale-model vintage radial arm saws

I’m someone who loves “big, little things”. Substantial models of human-scale machines and objects. The perfect scale depends on the actual thing – whether it’s a house, a machine, or a furniture piece. I just appreciate making a model big enough to border on ridiculous — inconvenient to even figure out where to put it once you have it done and in front of you. It seems I’ve managed to tick both those boxes in this case.
