This is a beautifully made stop motion video by slopsmcgee (aka Greg Saniatan) of him making a LEGO vase in the style you’d make an actual vase out of clay on a potter’s wheel. I love stuff like this. I wasn’t going to internet today, but I’m glad I did.

What a showman! Just don’t tell my girlfriend, she’d fight you for wasting
This is a video demonstration of Italian artist Amedeo Capelli’s ‘Macabra Orchestra’, a little wooden skeleton orchestra with movements powered by a hand-crank and delivered via a series of wires, hooks, and string. Would I pay to see a live performance? Absolutely. My girlfriend was just complaining I could use
