I just came across this, but noticed the posting was from 2009, so some of you may have seen this before, but wow!

That's a pretty neat shape but I gotta say, that thing is HUGE! Look at the size of it behind the Audi SUV.

Cushions look pretty thin on the seating.
But I guess Bob has lots of padding these days.

Tiss pretty cool looking

The cost of the CNC router, the pink foam, the fiberglass, etc... and your time.

The huge CNC router is the killer item!

definitely too big for my TV, but there are some things in the design that could possibly be used.

I like the pop-up loft. Been done before, of course, but I like the way that one is laid out.

I know this is from 8 or 9 months ago but let me tell ya...that is a very large dual column vertical boring mill.
If its CNC it's because someone retrofitted it too. That old B&W photo is from the '50's.
