Take a toothpick tour of San Francisco!

I think I could study Scott Weaver's toothpick model of San Francisco for hours; it is intricately designed and tediously executed. Watch the ping-pong balls go on a ride around the city. He's been working on this project for 35 years and it is now on display at The Tinkering Studio in the Exploratorium from April 5 - May 31, 2011. What a way to work with wood, scale and architecture.
