The Squeegee Rack Update
A while back I had an epiphany, you can read about it here. Here’s an update on the integration of the project.
As is clearly visible, the concept, design and execution of the project is flawless.

Like a real man, I just got a nail gun. And like men do, I started trolling around the shop looking some something that needed to be built, so I could avoid doing real work. I found a project.
The Problem: Squeegees.
It’s easy to get them 95% clean. The last 5% takes a lot of paper towels, chemicals, and patience. Our storage situation dictates the squeegee needs to be 100% clean before getting thrown into the drawer. And most days, the squeegee is coated in ink again within a few hours. It’s an exercise in futility.
So here is what Shawn and I built. The important thing is that you can see the nail gun in the background.
In keeping with our occasional blog series of experimenting with putting things in the microwave (PEEP), we decided to try our hand at frying a CD this morning. Definitely do this at home.
Difficulty: 3 (Make sure to get it propped up.)
Danger: 4
Deniability: 1 (Go ahead. Try to say that didn’t happen.)
After Odor: Slightly Crispy

While certain competitors of ours are working hard to create videos of how they put rhinestones onto shirts, and probably making money doing it, we were hard at work ourselves, setting up and recording this little video of a marshmallow bunny exploding in the microwave. Are they good for anything else?
