this is excellent. in more ways than one i feel that this is the direction i would like my work to go. it is so well crafted... jesus man.
... do you sell them?

thank you, the growth chamber was the first time i really machined aluminum, it just takes time and patience. haven't sold the chamber but the manatee fetuses are $25

I would like to say something more than "Fuckin' rad" but more eloquent speach simply eludes me. This piece just astounds me.

please tell me this is a lamp or a hat. i could handle that. this is good. weird and good. nice and sleek and cold just like science. i really want to have an ET moment where i can plug it in and the fetus glows. its not a manatee is it?

it is a manatee! i had plans to incorporate a lighting element, thats why i wanted to make the fetus out of a translucent silicone. the machining took so long that i ran out of time to add a light before the crit. someday i'll go back and finish it

do i get a prize? i think im the only one to guess the sea cow connection and that there are zero jelly beans in the jar.

no fair, you live in florida, where the manatees roam free! none the less you win a smile, and by the way the jelly beans are in my stomach

The main body is interesting enough, but I think the addition of the smaller tubes really pulls out the intricacy of the design.
Additionally, I had no idea people could lathe metal. Jeebus.
(Is there any way you would consider doing something along this line with the roots of plants in it; perhaps a hydroponically-adjustable living model? It was just my imagination, but in the thumbnail version I thought I saw roots in the smaller tubes, and I was a small part disappointed when I found out they were empty, save the fluid.)
Kick-ass!

thanks, i may never do anything like this again. it was fun but i spent at least 150 hours machining this thing. it was pretty tricky to get everything made precisely enough to be fit together in a believable way.

I like this... It looks like something I'd make if I had the tools, resources, and skill... Great job ^_^

thanks, most of my work is in wood, but i plan to do more of this stuff

thanks,most of it was done on the lathe, but i did use the mill to cut the slots on the chemical tubes. it took many,many,many hours but i made it all myself (except for the glass) all the way down to the knurled knobs on the top of the chemical tubes.
