bay area artist has painstakingly recreated our beloved city of san francisco with… wait, what? toothpicks?!
scott weaver spent 34 years on this incredible replica. it includes everything from the bay bridge, golden gate bridge, palace of fine arts, coit tower, the painted ladies, and many other sf local and touristy favorites. standing at 9 feet tall, 7 feet wide and 2 feet deep, this sculpture includes upwards of 100,000 toothpicks. “Rolling Through the Bay” is 9 feet tall, 7 feet wide and 2 feet deep. It sports four pingpong ball tracks with more than a dozen entry points.
weaver includes ’sentimental toothpicks’ in this masterpeice–toothpicks that were thrown at his wedding as opposed to the traditional rice, and gifted toothpicks from friends from all over the world.

hubbas?
24 (hours/day) x 365 (days/year) = 8,760 (hours/year)
34 (years) x 8,760 (hours/year) = 297,840 (hours/year)
3,000 hr (the work) / 297,840 (hours living) = .0100725 (%)
Not to be a dick, I was just curious — I am grossly envious (read: jealous) of anyone with a shred of Scott’s stick-to-it-ness, and this is fucking unreal — but it comes out to around 14 minutes / day, or an hour and a half every Sunday.
HA dick.
you should know, this isn’t the only thing he’s made in the past 34 years.
ps. all those numbers gave me an anxiety attack
v- he’s married

Totally didn’t mean it like that, y’all. Just curious, math-wise. “But” gets a rap.
oh please. i was only joking. i think it is hilarious that you did the math because i would never voluntarily do math. ever.
