Looks like a dryer for wetsuit gloves and boots. You should be able to hook up a hair dryer to it and blow hot air through those vent holes into the gloves.

It’s either part of an underground irrigation system,

Or part of the frame for a deluxe blow up doll.rofl:chatuprofl
Did I just say that second part out loudroflrofl

I'm gonna say ALMOST what Jon said...A wetsiut dryer!!!! If thats NOT what it is...Well, it should be!:t
 
hmmm, higher IQ than I'd expected on MOST postings (Podge ?? ;) answers monday AM
 
Yes I think Jon is on the right lines, there are enough parts and bends there to assemble a human shape 45's for the shoulders and 90's for the hips. Perhaps a gadget to dry and prevent creases?
 
well, your all right, a bit, but kudos to Pastor for first mentioning "creases" , John for first mentioning Dryer, and ILDiver for the mannequin fast response.

I really built is as a way to store the suit without those ugly creases. It's real dry here so the suit always dries within a day, but I had thought of blowing warm air through if that was ever needed.

In a nutshell: a 2 hour DIY, 15 dollar wetsuit storage dummy!

Stay tuned 'cause I have a really dumb one to post any time now... :head

I thought it was McGyver's first go at a Saxaphone...
 
Cool idea!

I also hate those stretch marks on wetsuits.

Benny have you ever heard of SNL? I just watched a skit on McGyver last Saturday night and it was pretty good. [ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3lu3dsZkwg0]YouTube - SNL - MacGruber[/ame]
 
Great idea azpa, but how do you build that view???

Thanks flyflicker for those nice words :)

The view was easy: renounce family and friends and move to a third world country with little more than a snowboard and pair of swimming trunks in suitcase, start small software company designed to let me work 1/2 week, buy house at beach, dive. Come on down! roflrofl
 
thanks for the tip azapa - I wish I could have been that brave in my life.

But I have moved north from where I was born, admittedly only 4 miles north, but it's a start! :) Is C++ & Java any use to you?
