How to kill 30 Minutes of waiting for someone to finish an introduction

I had time to kill and decided to goof off *while* doing something productive. Revolutionary concept. Issue #297 was calling out. A idea for a pun involving someones name sealed the fate.

Tutorial

Saw some scrap wood to pieces using a hand saw. Add some radius and grooves using a rasp for visual flair. Angle grinder some threaded rod to length, install nyloc nuts at both ends, realize the solder roll doesn't fit, remove one nyloc nut, add solder roll, add nyloc nut back, are you not bored yet? Pre-drill holes, rummage around the screw cabinet for some rusty loose screws, assemble frame.

The only somewhat interesting thing about this project is using thumb tacks as anti scratch feet as they're quick to install and cheap, and using only 3 to avoid wobble.

Time invested: 35 minutes including cleanup. +15 for Documentation.
