Retired and bored? Love Woodworking? Try this!
"A Bosnian retiree with a few years to spare and a love of woodworking has built his own replica Volkswagen Beetle almost entriely from oak. Momir Bojic, 71, used 50,000 separate pieces in assembling the car, with wood used for everything from the hood to his matching cap." |

The first car to ever get recalled for termites.
It's amazing the talent (and time) that some people have.
