Imagine making a sculpture so tiny, your eyelash is the paintbrush. Dr. Willard Wigan MBE, does just that. He makes the world's smallest handmade sculptures and the results truly incredible. A tiny replica of the Mona Lisa, smaller than the top of a matchstick? Check. A realistic replica of heavyweight champion Tyson Fury standing on the head of a pin? Yes. What else? The rest has to be seen to be believed. Claire: I think he's missing the point about the surgeons- they're operating on real humans, if they make a mistake they don't get knocked down then get back up their patient gets injured or dies, the stakes are just so much higher. There's no trial and error, the planning stage takes so many possibilities into account, surgeons will practice the operation repeatedly modelling the outcome, doing multiple scans, consulting with other specialties. Yes the operation itself is intricate, but their job is so much more than the physical manoeuvres on an operating table. They're also on a time crunch, the patient can't stay on the table indefinitely, and sometimes they need to stagger ops for healing/meds to take effect, there's just so much more in the job than steady hands.
Like this is really impressive, and the steady hands are really impressive and he probably will have much steadier hands than a surgeon, but it's ignoring a huge aspect of what surgery is to boil it down to steady hands and ignore the knowledge, the planning and care that goes into any operation and say what he does is more complex is fairly arrogant.

That piece with the camels is definately quite amazing! It could be called the Silk Road in a needle s eye. I would however think twice about that comparison towards the whole branch of surgeons; )

This was just incredible. Not just the staggering patience of him as an artist, but his whole point of view. His mention of the bee and how there is so much life in the tiniest of things.

I've always wondered how he made these! So glad I finally know. And I had no idea he had autism, no wonder I relate to his interest so much, I also love miniature things

Yes he is a major talent but for him to brag that his hands are more steady than a Surgeons is pretty arrogant. He is crafting, a surgeon has a life on the line.
