Topic tags/keywords: woodfun game question

I propose a fun game. I will start this game now. I am posting some photographs and you (yes you) have 48 hours to guess what it is. The rules are simple.

1. It must be made out of wood.

2. Or, it must be used in woodworking such as a non-wood jig.

3. If you wish to post your own “WHAT IS IT” take the next number, 2, 3, 4, 5, etc.

4. You mugs post your guesses below.

OK HERE WE GO …. WHAT IS IT ?

I think that having it lean up against the wall is deceptive…... so that makes me think its a sled of some sort. The lapped end makes me think that it sits on an edge of say—- a truck—- and the other end——gosh who knows. But I’m sticking with my sled theory.

Odie, I would guess four straight-line milled Pinoideae Pinaceae Pinus’s with two rabbetted ends coupled with eight ferrous metal shafts bearing helical grooves torqued to 400 inch pounds, compressing a layer of rubbery synthetic polymer, or polyvinyl acetate for maximum adhesiveness. (am I close?)

My other two guesses would be a bicycle or a checkerboard…

That’s definitely four pieces of scrap wood, nailed together. Man that was a fun game…good thing you started it now…I couldn’t have waited a second longer. Rule #1…”It must be made out of wood”...my guess must be made out of wood? I better head to the shop and get started on it….I think i will make my guess oak….or maybe maple and cherry.

OK, as per the requirement in the instructions, here is my guess…

Photobucket

I cheaped out a little and made the answer out of particleboard, but I made the base out of some nice cherry with several coats of gloss laquer…It’s hard to see ‘cause the pics are so small but I put a nice cove detail on the top edge of the base.

  1. 1,I think it is a way to have two people carry lumber from one end of someplace to another, A makeshift wood carrier.
    Or guess # 2. It is a makeshift carrier for Odie when maybe he has drank a few too many and needs a little help getting from here to there. Or guess # 3, It perhaps it is absolutely nothing and the whole purpose is to see how bad I can make a fool out of myself with guess # 1 and guess # 2. Am I close? Huh? Huh?

Two of you are very close. Because of time committments I have this afternoon I will post the answer this morning in about 1 – 2 hours. It won’t be 48 hours, but close enough. If any of you is ready with ”what is it # 2” go for it. I have another I will try in a few days. I have already posted some as projects.

Here are a few pictures that should explain it all. Two of you guessed a ramp, but for my truck. It’s about two feet too short for that. About ten years ago, when my son “the deck shoveler” moved, I had to come up with a way to make life a little easier. This year we received about 15 feet of snow. What you can’t see is the metal roof above the deck that sheds after every storm. Needless to say that ramp is very important.

THAT’S ALL FOLKS

LAZY ???? I said 15 feet plus 16 feet of roof sliding onto it. The snow blower is the only thing that can throw the snow far enough away from the deck. Otherwise, you can’t throw 15 feet high to get it off the deck.
