That's it's only purpose. Raising & lowering the box to keep sawdust off the TV.
But it lifted the TV up onto the cradle. It seems to weigh about as much as a large car battery.
you fucking nitwit.
get a fucking sheet, and throw it over the fucking tv.

I thought that it was "Fuck Stick" up there. Or is that only a Massachusetts thing?

Considering his location, and his age, I think I'll call him a Yankee Doodle.
i think its a masshole thing

then buy inserts to put into your shoes to give you a lift...

Put the box on a rod and reel and call it a day. That's what a Newfie would do.

I admire his engineering ingenuity. He might be bored but he's very intelligent.

No, what keeps me off the streets is the fact that 17 years of trucking has made me hate driving.

Building shit like this is a hobby.
Some guys go fishing. Some guys build fast cars or off-road vehicles. Some guys hunt animals. Some guys obsess over their lawns. Some guys grow vegetables. Others play with toy trains or RC cars or drones. Civil War re-enactors. Or become BBQ grill masters like AK7, who is also a collector of International Scout SUVs. GAnthony runs a one-man ammunition factory in his
In addition to some of the above, I build stuff.
But I've got like 50 projects planned & don't know what to do next.
Perhaps I should gut & rebuild that upstairs bedroom that had a fire in it two years ago.
But that's all easy entry level tradesmen type stuff I've done so many times it's no longer challenging & fun.
Except for my plan to build a temporary sink in that room for washing all the stuff that can be saved. I don't know if people do that.

Sir, I did 49 tractor-trailer years. Four of those, a small fleet status company and 45 years dragging a gas wagon behind me. All of the fuel hauling for the first 38 years of that was in the tri-county area of Miami-Dade, Broward (Ft. Lauderdale) and Palm Beach counties. I don't think anyone could hate driving more than I after that. But at the same time, I don't even want to be out there with someone else driving. Do I sit in a corner biting my nails because I have to go out? No. But I do combine almost every stop in one trip out of the house. I don't want to be out there any more than needed.No, what keeps me off the streets is the fact that 17 years of trucking has made me hate driving.
The way people drive these days is beyond belief. Now the main Gestapo, wants to make all of these new laws about speeding, illegal CDL's, no habla inglaise, etc... What about the laws that are already on the books? The driver's license test in Florida is administered in 9 languages, that I can find. Every regulatory sign that I see here is in ENGLISH. Why is my state giving licenses to anyone that cannot tell me in a reasonable English dialect what that sign means?
What are my chances of getting by in Argentina or Russia without knowing the native language? Do you really think that they would give me a license to drive a big truck without knowing anything about their language? Doubt it. So why should we?

I'm jealous of your artistic and engineering talent. My dad had that. He could look at something, put it on paper and build it. I can't draw a stick figure. I can modify a tool to do what I need it to do. Many tools have to be modified to use on these land yachts.Building shit like this is a hobby.

I also love to cook outside on my grille. I can't cook on a stove for beans. I also love to work on the yard. I just like to stay busy. I can't sit inside and play games and watch TV. That would drive me nucking futz.

I'm the other way around. I can cook a full meal on a stove, or even the camp stove in the shop that's been in there since my steam whistle experiment. But I don't know much about grilling.
I read a story once.
A guy cooked burgers for his family and his ten year old son ended up in the hospital. What happened was a little wire brush bristle from the grill cleaning brush was stuck to the rack and ended up on the kid's burger. It poked a hole in his intestines and let toxic fecal matter into his bloodstream and he got some terrible infection and almost died.
Scary. I don't know how you're supposed to avoid that.
