@donttrythis I'm so flattered!
This was one of the few places where it paid off to over-engineer the crap out of something. I used every trick I knew to make sure the system would work in this bizarre set of constraints. It was tons of work, but I'd do it again in a heartbeat. SO much fun!

@sciencequiche @jerware Thanks Kishore!

I've never been so excited to be one of the others!!!! 😜

I can’t wait to show you guys what I’ve been working on! I can finally tell you that the show is called #SavageBuilds, and that I worked with some of my favorite & amazing minds on it, including @SimoneGiertz @ToryBelleci @steltzner Peter Jackson, @laura_kampf and others. [1/2}

A huge thank you to @donttrythis and @jerware for bringing me in on this project. So fricking excited that I played a part in making this show! Adam and the crew were so amazing to work with.

@ZiqiPeng Seems like others might be mistaking this for a “toothed” blade. A smooth diamond saw could cut skin, but it won’t get ya like a table-saw.

Just some more trailer upgrades... Two 100watt panels on the roof (charging while driving will make a huge difference), under counter doors clean up the kitchen… https://t.co/VxkFKbryXi

@TheFizzWizz1 @CanadianGuyEh7 I’ve been a Family Feud fan since childhood so it’s nostalgic for me, but the final “looser” sound is from Price is Right. I’m a fan of both.

My latest personal project... Why? Because everyone likes to push buttons!

@sarahslatter @Reeve Can you order one? Absolutely!!! It only costs $1,000,000.00. Plus if order within the next 24 hours we'll toss in a free set of knives (you just pay the shipping and handling charge). 😜

A minor trailer addition...a new SHELF. Instead of storing stuff in a big pile on the floor, I can now have a two-story pile. Well... actually the idea is to… https://t.co/mSNkrtLfyf

Teardrop trailer upgrades: I put together a pretty run of the mill bucket-swamp-cooler, following online examples, but used a beefy inline fan and added a speed… https://t.co/2Oz4lGpZxC

A little marketing from one of my clients... It's always fun to see something we've worked on hit the streets. https://t.co/7CJVPiCJWE
