toothpick San Francisco

Too much time on his hands: Scott Weaver

The project: a kinetic model of San Francisco, constructed out of Elmer's glue and approximately 100,000 toothpicks. The structure's landmarks include Coit Tower, the Rice-a-Roni cable car, Lombard Street, the Chinatown gateway, Golden Gate Park, the Palace of Fine Arts, the Ocean Beach windmill, the Golden Gate Bridge, Alcatraz, the Maritime Museum, and Flyshacker Pool.

Time to complete: 35 years.
