Long Now Orrery Bookcase

 Greg Baiden the underground engineer working on the Clock Project, just sent in these great photos of the new bookcase that he had made for his office.  On either side of the bookcase are amazingly well detailed stained glass reproductions of the planet tracking Orrery we completed in 02005 (detail image below).  Apparently there is now a desk in the works that includes inlay and stained glass of the Clock dial.  Cant wait to see that…

    Beautiful work. Obviously the inspiration of the project is personal as well. That’s always a good sign.

    That’s amazing, I’m jealous!

    Immediately reminds me of scenes from Myst.
