An online version of a real museum in Vista, CA. The page is a bit hokey looking, but the photos inside are worth checking out.

Stuff like this is just amazing. I hope this isn't a double!

Really good, but when I read "museum of craftmanship" I got way more excited than I should have. This stuff is impressive but could really do with a dose of antiques which define the meaning of craft.

On review, I could have called this, "Stuff old guys make, when they have to much money and time on their hands."

Some of those would make kick-ass Monopoly pieces. Top hat? Please. I call the block plane!
