They’re covered with neatly arranged tools and safety gear: jigsaws, scalpels, grinders, palm sanders, airbrushes, gloves, and goggles. But it’s not your average fabrication shop or artists’ studio. It’s more like slipping backstage at a sadistically hilarious Disney production. Walls are hung with custom-fabricated items such as bison-horned demon masks, spike-studded battle armor, wearable satyr hooves and haunches, cybernetic steel mandibles, prosthetic buzzsaws, and more…….

October 1, 2021

Around the turn of the century, it was decided that a working clock might be a better idea, so the Spitz Clock was replaced with a functional version. In 1915, people gawped when the first motor truck in the……
