This thing is real. It exsists. I designed it. A friend made one for me and it works great! What is it?

It's used to make toast over a gas burner.

Nope. Guess you could build a fire under it and use it for a grill, but it's not made to cook on.

A hanger for Sponge Bob Square Pants. If you have grandkids you'll know. Hi Hi

Boy, a few hints would help - materials and size for starters and construction method.

I'm guessing it's some sort of step.

It will not fit in your average microwave.

Like an extra step that fits under the RV pullout steps? I don't know, it's got a hook so maybe it hangs somehow?

It wouldn't make a good step, the sides wound push into the ground. But I guess you could hang it up on something when not using it. Just don't walk into it.

(WHAAANNGG!) Ouch!

Why is this puzzle in the tow vehicles section of the forum? Maybe that has something to do with it. Hmmm........ looks like it could hang from the rear ladder? How about 20 questions?

It is to catch hot toast that is ejected from a horizontal electric toaster....The black is so that you can also use it to keep the toast warm using solar energy.

He also needs to get a life and maybe later to update his home page link from QRZ.com. Yes I went there to see if I could find a clue as to the thingamabob.

It's a computer desk for my truck. See, Greg was really close! Take a look at the first picture...the big "tabs" or "ears" on either side slide down between the center "seat" and the driver and passenger seat on either side. Then the "mystery hook" anchors the desk in place via the seat belt. The hook is offset because of where the seat belt buckel wind up when all the slack is taken out of the belt.

The three sided wall on top is there to make a place for maps, guides, pencils and such. Once the desk was delivered I realized I could have moved that back toward the hook and had more storage space. That's the one design change I would have made.

I'll post a demensioned drawing under another thread. By making your own measurements a good metal shop can whip you one up.

Thanks for playing along! It sure was fun...and the collective imagination of this forum is something to behold!

I also posted this puzzle on http://www.forestriverforums.com ( a sister site to ORR.net) and those guys wanted to cook just about everything on it. Except for the one guy that wanted to scoop up dog poo with it.
