Although Instructables user bbstudio’s entry in their ongoing Egg-Bot challenge falls a bit short on the “instruct” front, his or her experiment “to remove as much material from an egg shell as possible while still retaining the shape and image of the egg” has undeniably produced some impressive results.

Wow that’s amazing
i agree it is a-MAZE-ing!!! hee hee!
oh, my god, it is a great masterwork! http://bit.ly/m5vhOy
I’m confused by this? What method did he us and where how did he grasp the egg without breaking it.
Good questions. Which is why it’s slightly odd that he posted his project on Instructables. As far as I can tell, he offers no instruction whatsoever. It’s certainly cool, mind you, but as to how he did it, well, I’m guessing he wants that left a mystery. =]
Yes…well that’s a mystery beyond my skill level with eggs.
now, i HAVE heard of a method of using vinegar to soften an eggshell enough to fit a whole egg into a soda bottle… if that is the case, then i can imagine using this technique to soften the eggshell so it could be more flexible and more easily cut.
Not sure if this is how this artist did it, but here is another artist explaining how he carves his eggs: http://theeggshellsculptor.com/TheProcess.html

THAT would be my question….how do you apply enough force, once having removed so much of the egg, to apply enough pressure to remove the remaining pieces??
cut with some sort of laser?
That was my thought as well.
I am just guessing. But I would attempt this with a hard boiled egg and a dremel. Pare away the shell, and then remove the egg from inside.
i agree with the dremel, if you could find just the right attatchment. its actually easier to blow out the insides first than to try to get a really clean removal after the fact.

adonde va a huevo?
in school we painted hollowed out eggs for easter and cinco de mayo. we poked two holes in either end and blew the liquid egg out. it was difficult (and stinky), but we did it with the shell still intact. if you look closely at the right picture, there are a few bumps, like something was filled in. i bet the creator of this did like i did, and filled in the resulting holes. i could be wrong, but that’s my guess. awesome design though. ^___^
eggs are not completely smooth…there are lumps and bumps…this is one of the things that makes them challenging as a canvas….
