Board Stretcher:

Trilby 10-07-2011 10:40 AM

I thought that was outlawed by the Geneva Convention??

BigV 10-07-2011 10:46 AM

cute!

I like how it's necked down in the middle. But I'm not sure how the geartrain/cam system works. Nice one!

footfootfoot 10-07-2011 10:50 AM

The lever rotates a cam that presses on the frame. The finger grabs a tooth to keep the board under tension.

BigV 10-07-2011 10:54 AM

ooohhhhhhhh.... dur.



(wait, not odor, ohhh dur, just... ah. not exactly understanding, but relief and pleasure at the warm sensation of the prospect of illumination bathing my upturned face.)




(wait, that's not the golden stream, is it? ew.)

I've got a bunch of those. Paid about 30% more than a right-handed screw driver. I screw like a champ now.

Metric yardstick?

SCUBA diver's ashtray?

Oh and Board Stretcher made me think of a product I saw ... a Pet Stretcher. Whah? You know, a stretcher-bed for your dog. Ohh, right.

Now, about this "Hand Shredder"...

zippyt 10-07-2011 08:44 PM

Yes I Did Look for 50 ft of Flight line at supply once ,
The Gunny SGT was NOT amused !!!

ZenGum 10-07-2011 09:34 PM

He could have at least issued you with a Long Weight.

zippyt 10-08-2011 01:09 AM

Though I Did Have to fill out a Ba11n form

ZenGum 10-08-2011 06:19 AM

zippyt 10-08-2011 10:07 AM

That's a neat way of changing the center of rotation... even if it is BS

Lytro's new light field camera lets you focus after you take a picture

This is not you Grampa's pinhole camera... or maybe it is.

ZenGum 10-24-2011 10:23 PM

Psst, dude, read the thread title very carefully ...

Lamplighter 10-24-2011 11:24 PM

Oooops!

Aw shit, can you send him back? I need the keys to the drop zone. While he's there tell him to stop by range control and have em turn on the range fans, blow off some of that fog.

Really? You never heard of the Tucker? :eek:

Lamplighter 09-12-2012 09:00 AM

The Torpedo was before his time...

xoxoxoBruce 09-12-2012 11:54 AM

Torpedo? Yeah, I know the Tucker was long before his time but a couple years back (whoops, it was 1988:o) Coppola made a movie about it staring Jeff Bridges. There was a shitload of articles about Tucker, before and after the release.

glatt 09-12-2012 12:34 PM

That's the only reason I know of Tucker.

fargon 09-12-2012 01:23 PM

My childhood friend Rocky Tucker, is Preston Tucker's grandson.

Gravdigr 09-12-2012 02:36 PM

I have never heard of the 1971 Tucker anydamnthing, Tornado, Toronado, or otherwise, and neither have you.

BigV 09-12-2012 03:13 PM

I know the things I'm seeing in this video don't exist, have never existed. Yet I see them here.

and yes, I realize there's an optical illusion thread somewhere. feel free to repost in that thread.

That's cause there never was one. Never even made it to the drawing board, except as a alternative universe creative exercise kind of thing just a little while ago.

What would happen if Tucker hadn't been run out of town and he was still around making cars in the 70s?

Happy Monkey 09-12-2012 03:17 PM

There's a series of kids' books out that uses that effect.

I had a book when I was a kid that used a less dramatic form of the same effect, to make water flow or smoke billow.

I got Swing! for school. Tiger was ambivalent, but some of my other SEN childer reacted with great enthusiasm.
