Have a look at this.

Cute, but pales in comparison to Chainsaw Ice Skating at the top of the page.

Chip

chainsaw ice skate was the most ut.

It would be nice for a 1950's style doll house.

I remember there was a electronic mag project on making a doll house TV years ago.

That chainsaw guy should try skating in circles... supervised of course.

How about a horribly disproportionate modern-sized widescreen predicta with a rectangular 52" HD monitor inside the roundish housing? It's what everyone wants.

I could see 3D printing new plastic head shells for them when bigger home printers become available, or use of industrial models becomes cheaper....

That chainsaw ice skating looks cool, and scary at the same time....IIRC some people were using kites for propulsion in similar sports here (literally, I have a tape of an 80's episode of 'Outdoor Wisconsin' where they are doing it on the lake I live by).
