Recently I got a chance to visit Greg Karkowsky and see his wonderful work. The following is a video of his skeleton lounge.
Just found out about the How Stuff Is Made project, a collaborative effort among Yale University, NYU, UC Berkely and others to provide a wiki-driven compedium of materials, manufacture, labor, etc. Mind-blowing stuff. I took my first step, registered with Twiki, and fixed a typo.
I stopped by the Walgreen's site on Centre Avenue, East Liberty, to watch the construction. Take a look.
