Sure, 3D printers can print houses, office buildings and all the furniture inside, and bridges, but that’s all nonsense compared to the fact that you can actually print a working circular saw or power drill that’s as small as your fingertip. In fact, they’re both the World’s smallest.

7 of the World's Greatest and Weirdest Construction Records

Jul 10, 2015

New Zealander Lance Abernethy is the creator of both of these tiny tools, which he made on his Ultimaker 2 machine and printed in less than 1 hour each. 3D Print reports that the circular saw is comprised of 4 separate parts: 2 halves for the main housing, one saw guard, and one blade holder. It also has a button that turns the saw on, which is powered by a hearing aid battery.

Although the blade does spin, Abernethy has said that it can’t actually cut through anything yet, so don’t plan any tiny home improvement projects in the near future.

[VIDEO] The Leaning Tower of Dallas is Dead. Long Live the Leaning Tower of Dallas.

Mar 6, 2020

A couple of weeks ago, we followed the very amusing story of the Leaning Tower of Dallas. For those unfamiliar, it all started as an innocent attempt at a building implosion, but ended up becoming an internet meme, a tourism landmark, and the subject of a petition to turn it into a monument. Well, the big joke is over, as what remained of the tower has finally fallen.

Feb 19, 2020

Crowds typically swarm to the site of a building implosion; it can be more exciting than a firework show. Sometimes, though, spectators get the thrill of seeing the process not go quite as planned. Dallas residents got tat thrill over the weekend, when an implosion of a high-rise building in Uptown Dallas refused to come all the way down.

[VIDEO] A Horse Had to Be Lifted Out of a Construction Trench by a Helicopter

May 11, 2018

It’s a tale (tail) as old as time: a horse walks into a construction trench, gets stuck, has to be lifted out of it by a helicopter. The trench didn’t appear to be that deep, so I don’t think OSHA is going to need to get involved with this one.

[VIDEO] Silo Demolition Goes Opposite Way and Lands on Adjacent Building

Apr 17, 2018

Demolitions by implosion seems like the easiest way to knock down a structure, but there is so much preparation that goes into it that even the slightest mistake can have a huge impact. When smokestacks are demolished correctly, it can be a thing of beauty, like when these two silos in Scotland hit each other midair or when this asbestos filled stack was precisely demolished to fall into a pool of water. Things didn’t go so smoothly for demolition crews in Denmark last week, however.

Construction Worker Channels His Inner Eminem to Deliver a Rap About Jobsite Safety

Aug 18, 2017

Tool box safety talks are super important, but sometimes they can be pretty dry. In order to keep people engaged and committed to jobsite safety, sometimes you have to mix it up a little bit. A construction company in New Zealand has an aspiring rapper on their team and they decided to enlist his help for a safety talk and it’s pretty entertaining. This company isn’t the first company to use rap music to send a message, as Caterpillar also released a rap about their bulldozers.
