Went to the science museum with my kid and saw a gear display that made me think of our shop

They had this big, clear plastic model showing how a planetary gear system works. I stood there for like ten minutes just watching the parts move. It hit me that I set up programs to cut these things every day, but I never really SEE them in action like that. Has anyone else had a moment where a simple display made you appreciate the parts you make differently?

Ever see a part you made in a finished product? I found a bracket I cut on a food truck once, totally made my week.

Seems like a low bar for joy, @leo_campbell, but you do you.

Low bar" feels like judging a goldfish for being happy with a castle. Got any hidden gems you're pretending not to treasure?
