    My parents once bought me a papercraft clock that supposedly worked. Came with dangling weights and working gears of various sizes, of which you had to glue the teeth on individually. My mom ended up building most of it, and I never got it to actually do anything, probably because the unhealthily-obsessed perfectionist ended up screwing up the knife edges as I thought, "how could anybody consider this to be 'fun'?"


    But this is actually pretty sweet, because engines > clocks any day of the week. It's my chance to redeem myself in the world of incredible nerdiness.

    I once made a working clock out of paper. Granted, I had bought it as a kit and all I had to do was punch out the parts, cut along solid and fold along dotted. But still.


    And this goes a step or two beyond that: this didn't come outta no book.

    I bet my girlfriend would rather me do this than some of my other "hobbies."


    In all seriousness though that is a feat most of us would never even dream of tackling. I bet this guy is a real head-case, but a head-case with talent none the less.

    @aSoundofSleep: Doing meth and crack is not a hobby, although making it might fall into that category.

    There was this guy I worked with that was into papercraft. He scared me. He was sort of like Milton from Office Space, but a bit more insidious.


    Ever since then, that is the image I get of someone into papercraft. So now you've got me picturing a Japanese guy speaking Quebecian and plotting to seek revenge on anyone who has ever wronged him.
