[QUOTE="Kinematics, post: 8352077, member: 6932123"] Well, it's going by size, and it looks like the example for "small" is a prosthetic limb, which is hardly less complex than a pocket watch. I'm not sure what sort of cabinet is being suggested for the medium size, but my initial impression is that the "Engineering" table is for things which are pretty complex all around. It's not like you're comparing a pocket watch to a bookshelf. [i]All[/i] of the items being built are likely to be pretty complex, and it's just a matter of [i]how much[/i] of that complex stuff you have to build (ie: something that fits in your hand, or an entire arm, or an entire body, etc). On the pocket watch taking a week, I could certainly see that if most of the components are already made (eg: gears, springs, etc), and it's mainly a matter of designing how it looks, and figuring out how to put all the bits together to get the effect you want.
