The Craftsmanship Museum, located at 3190 Lionshead Avenue in Carlsbad, California, is a unique institution showcasing the finest examples of miniature engineering and craftsmanship. One of the standout exhibits is a working 1/6 scale model of a Holbrook Model C lathe, which took a dedicated individual a lifetime to complete and has won numerous awards. Visitors can also admire meticulously crafted models of a P-51 Mustang and two F4U Corsair planes, each built with incredible attention to detail using aluminum and brass. The museum is open Thursday through Saturday from 9 AM to 4 PM, and admission is free (though donations are gratefully accepted). One of the highlights on display is Louis Chenot's superb 1/6 scale Gar Wood Runabout with a Liberty V-12 engine. Visitors can also marvel at Geoff Kidd's scratch-built model M1857 12-pounder Napoleon gun with limber and caisson.
