jadedomg Posted September 13, 2012 Posted September 13, 2012 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 :) Quote
Jetro Posted September 13, 2012 Posted September 13, 2012 Nice find! Thanks for sharing. Any ideas on how the angling of the top part was achieved? Quote
Carsten Svendsen Posted September 13, 2012 Posted September 13, 2012 Cool I find it a bit funny how the old mummys name is pronounced :D Quote
Saberwing40k Posted September 13, 2012 Posted September 13, 2012 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. Quote
Balrog Posted September 13, 2012 Posted September 13, 2012 What clever use of our beloved bricks! Quote
kieran Posted September 13, 2012 Posted September 13, 2012 I love the way LEGO is always described as a child's toy, even though there are so many uses Quote
sqiddster Posted September 13, 2012 Posted September 13, 2012 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. Quote
Morvayn Posted September 13, 2012 Posted September 13, 2012 Another proof: LEGO can be used for about everything It really is a clever structure, it works brilliantly Quote
