Today I built the device.

Today I built the device.

Who can guess the insane purpose of the device?

I will answer yes or no questions.

[mdmf007]

jig to build picture / canvas frames?

[Captain Goddammit]

I'm trying to care...

[burner von braun]

Great to see you again MeV! I hope things are going well in the subatomic world.

(OK, just in case mdmf didn't nail it right off..)

1. Is it a jig to make multiple copies of something?

..if so..

2. Are those resulting pieces part of a shelter?

[Elliot]

For our purpose, it may be a granfalloon enabler.

[theCryptofishist]

probably another orgasmatron

[ygmir]

St. Andrews cross, morphed?

[Guy Noir]

An S&M fixture for medium sized animals?

Those are bungee cords looped through the work surface top?

[BBadger]

probably another orgasmatron

Must be the Klimaxor-X3

[lucky420]

A bend me over table? The loos are handles, right?

[theCryptofishist]

Will it pass the Turing Test?

[Canoe]

"bend over table"
"Turing Test"

You're mean.

[MacGlenver]

Froggy -- you gotta tell us at some point

[Canoe]

Will it pass the Turing Test?

Well that was timing...

I read the news last night and posted about 5 Turing related posts.

Something to keep your "unwilling" dates secured?

[Patsh]

I think mdmf007 might be on the right track with frame maker. That would make this a frame frame.
And, the ropes, to serve as vises while little nails are tapped in, &/or glue dries??

otherwise, I'm all, like,

[Patsh]

This is not to say, the frame frame couldn't be used for making hundreds (thousands?) of rectangles which will be put together for something for the Playa...

[unjonharley]

It's just something he found in the trash bin

[Patsh]

That was going to be my next guess.

[Ugly Dougly]

A table?

[EspressoDude]

a puzzler

[Patsh]

You got that right, EspressoDude!
Frogbird hasn't been back, even to say, "WRONG!"

Ok, so it didn't take you guys very long to figure this out. Here is the device in action:

No orgasms yet, but I think that the garage floor may be uneven. I may try repositioning the device.

So he's dating ladders now?

This is a good thing to know in advance, to avoid some awkwardness on first meetings.

[delle]

Ooops. Forgot: A very fine device it is! Very fine indeed!!!

And, the Darwin award go's to..

I don't know, I'm open-minded, so he can date a ladder. But bondage with a ladder? That's not in the spirit of burningman.

[GreyCoyote]

Ah HA! So in one stroke Frogbird has enlightened us both as to the function of the device, and the 2014 Burningman theme: "Reach Higher".

Genius!

Damn. Looking at where the stop blocks are in relation to the legs I thought for sure it was a table jig for making table jigs for making table jigs for making table jigs for making table jigs.
