Here’s a really cool video of the stone CNC machining process. You get to see a single block of stone transformed into a complete statue via high speed cnc machining. I really want one of these (and a magical fairy to program it for me).
Just think of all the cool statues you could make — a new one every evening. Dragons and castles or — ooh — make a bunch of ninja statues out of whatever stone is cheapest and hide them all over the yard. Yeah, I could live with that. Screw garden gnomes, I want garden ninjas.
