Yes, but it's a lovely inventive craftmanship product bit that model builders might appreciate.....


I have no issues with that, it is unique. Just couldn't figure out what part was wood. I thought maybe that disk was wood but it is also metal. The surface looks like it could be wood.

Were these produced in quantity ?

No real idea, but possibly in Hungary? Mid-1920s......

That chess set is fantastic! I’ve never seen anything like it and can easily understand that the person who created it must be tremendously interesting as a mind to get to know (a bit) and explore adventures with. What an imagination! Exceptional . Really. And beyond clever.

Building a dry stone wall is a lot harder than one might think. Try it and see.

Putting any sort of curve into it, well, takes real skill. A loop like that is impressive.....and yes, probably involves a dimensional portal of some sort....

Reminded me of my dad's post hole diggers.
He had some post hole diggers, he must have replaced every part on them at least twice, no part was older than 10yrs old, but whenever he talked about them he would always say "I've had these for over 40 years!". Always got a kick out that.

I had some pine flooring left over. The pine told me to build crates. Amazing how much you don’t know about a crate until you build one

Annie wasn’t much help when it came to sanding.
