Block Tower

A number of years ago, my dad made a set of blocks out of high quality maple 1×3s.

Blocks

Today my brother Ben and I made a tower out of these blocks–18 levels high, 16 blocks per level.

Finished Tower

We took the tower down one block at a time, taking a picture of it each time. I reversed the list of images and then turned it into a video. It looks like the tower is going up, but we “filmed” it, stop motion style, in reverse. More pictures on Flickr.

    Jeremy, that’s amazing! It’s too bad for Gabriel that you’re already claimed by our section.

    You know, the MIS section is always another option if you really want to get into it.
