It' one thing to take it apart, but seeing it all layed out like that show the intrinsic value of each component. glad you liked it!joshmingsFri, 15 Aug 2008 23:24:24 -0000http://www.solidsmack.com/friday-smackdown-it-stings-a-bit/2008-08-15/#comment-1470046Thanks Josh, for the link to the disassembled appliances site. I always thought I was a weirdo (well, actually it has been independently verified) because I'm drawn inexorably to taking things apart to see how they work and what new techniques are people coming up with to save parts and money and make their molds better. It's nice to see that what we do as designers and engineers can be seen as art too. There is a lot of satisfaction that comes from doing something well, whether it's a sculpture or a well-executed assembly!Don SwavelyFri, 15 Aug 2008 10:28:02 -0000
