Why would I want to defile cake like that? I don't need tiny pieces of cake if I'm going to eat it all.

Wife gets tired of man. Wife invents silly problem that requires engineering. Man disappears.

Wood + a strip of sheet metal roofing.

First thing I thought of when I saw this, too. Could probably use the plastic kind, as well.

i'd like him to hold me.

I'd let him take me in a manly fashion on top of something he build that'll be able to last 10000 years xD

I like the way he thought it would be a total waste of time to make that knife, but made it anyway...

10 years ago | Likes 3 Dislikes 0

He comments on the dilemma in another video. Basically, sensible stuff gets fewer views than mental stuff.

So I just need a strip of corrugated sheet metal and a 3"x3"...

I haven't seen a me gusta face in so many years that I actually forgot it existed.

Has anyone ever seen a skylift? What's the point of this?

10 years ago | Likes 1 Dislikes 0

How many people have a skylift for their secondary workshop? This guy built the scaffold so he could work on the ceiling. Much cheaper.

10 years ago | Likes 1 Dislikes 0

That's a cringeworthy video. http://youtu.be/rBmnQN78aZU . And I'm not a YouTube safety patroller. Don't think he'll die, though. Ever.

10 years ago | Likes 10 Dislikes 0

How the heck does he still have 10 intact digits on his hands? :O Seems like a smart guy though!

Haha, that table saw is his best friend. Lathe? fuck a lathe!

That last shot where it fails to cut all the way through frustrates me more than it should.

10 years ago | Likes 451 Dislikes 12

I watched it again hoping it would go all the way. Bad idea.

10 years ago | Likes 5 Dislikes 0

To make matters worse, the piece even jiggles as though taunting us.

10 years ago | Likes 2 Dislikes 0

I know, that makes me angry.

10 years ago | Likes 1 Dislikes 0

Agreed. Kind of reminds me of the old Sprint commercials with the pin dropping.

10 years ago | Likes 4 Dislikes 0

I'm not from the U.S., nor old enough to have seen that commercial when it aired, so I had to go look it up. Interesting comparison.
