Original working models and experimental apparatus retained as part of the IntoTheMap research collection
The Pendulum Saw
A tiny saw with copper blade that will be used in testing the mechanical problems with cutting stone with abrasives. Only a foot and a half in height this saw is built from white oak for rigidity, and finished with Waterlox Marine sealer so it can stand up to testing. The saw is paired with The Mill as its powertrain
The Mill
The little engine at the heart of my designs that need power. Built of welded steel, this small mill wheel has been used in several machines to turn moving water into power. It currently is housed in a small timber-frame mill house built out of oak in authentic post and beam construction. It is currently set up with a crank style powertrain to deliver linear motion to the Pendulum Saw.
The Bent Pyramid-
Lower Chamber
My small model of the lower chamber of the Bent Pyramid detailing a cut-away view of the chimney, and a see-through window into the Secret Vault. The upper ladder connects to the connecting passage in later models and exits between the dual portcullises leading to the upper chamber.
The Serapeum
A massive model with working winches, rails, rollers, multiple sand drains and limestone sarcophagi.
