Toothpick Guitar Anyone ?

Post by Tod Gilding » Mon May 30, 2011 8:01 pm

It took Stan Munro (38) 6 years to build this toothpick city.

He used 6 million toothpicks and 170 litres of glue.

Each of his creations is built to 1:164 scale.

He works at the Museum of Science and

Technology in Syracuse, New York (USA).
