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.
