These are several videos of the work of João Paulo Gonçalves, who uses carefully placed wooden blocks illuminated by a mirrored bulb in the center to produce precisely shaped shadows. How about that! Me and my shadow? We’re not talking. We got into a huge fight after he said he’s

Because sometimes you just have to get medieval on a stump, this is a video of modern Hobbit Jacob of Youtube channel Cabinland chopping wood using a chain flail axe he made. Per Jason: “The advantages of the flail axe are numerous. The build up of kinetic energy achieved through
