Link to video@Axtremus I am sure you have visit there before, right? It has been a few years, but I have always been impressed with teh airport.

@taiwan_girl, the “Jewel” of ChangYi airport opened in April 2019, after my last visit to that airport, so I have not seen it for real yet. But even without the “Jewel,” the ChangYi airport was impressive enough as it was.

@taiwan_girl More than one way to build high speed trains, “maglev” uses magnetic acceleration: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maglev
Some amusement park rides and roller coasters also use magnetic acceleration.

Technique!
Link to videoIntellectually, I think I can figure out the technique to get the geometry right without too much time, but I suspect it will take me a long time to develop the steadiness of hand to cut the tile seemingly so effortlessly with freehand.

That was pretty impressive. Like you say, trying to do that freehand. I would think that cutting tool would be difficult to control.
