Lego TECHNIC is SO versatile!

Nice find!

It probably saved them a fair bit of money on the restoration as to find something custom built that would do the same thing as $20 worth of lego would cost hundreds at the very least.

Really cool when people do things like this :)

Nice find! Thanks for sharing. Any ideas on how the angling of the top part was achieved?

[Carsten Svendsen]

Cool

I find it a bit funny how the old mummys name is pronounced :D

200 different kinds of awesome! This is going to be me, someday.(The guy who designed it, not the mummy. ) Lego is common, versatile, and cheap. There are probably a lot more interesting uses for it.

What clever use of our beloved bricks!

I love the way LEGO is always described as a child's toy, even though there are so many uses

If you look closely, you can see a fantastic method of adjusting height with the gear racks and worm screw. That really is very clever.

Another proof: LEGO can be used for about everything

It really is a clever structure, it works brilliantly
