Gentleman and ladies! Feast your eyes on a true engineering marvel of the whip cracking age! What I have created here is the finest feat of PVC engineering the world has ever seen. It stands almost six feet tall, has a span over five feet, and has so far astounded the finest engineering minds of the Circle J Trailer Court. We started following a plan found on this very forum, but it grew to have a life of it's own, far exceding even our expectation. Even now after four hours of work it is not complete, and after $40USD of materials and our blood sweat and tears have been poured into it, another monetary withdrawl must be made to complete this mammoth structure, not to mention untold hours of labor. Nowhere on earth can you find a whip target stand of these proportions, or of these ambitions. When complete, it will have a variety of removable attatchments including a tiered candelabra and a remote arm. But this is the future of the stand. At present I'm afraid to say that it stands on unsteady legs, and massive reinforcement is needed to make it stable, never mind usable. But overbuild we will. It'll take explosives to tear this apart when we are finished with it. I hope that this fine example will lead others to create works even greater then my own. Now as the sole investor in this project, I face monetary ruin and the abuse of my peers over it. It has consumed one whole afternoon with nothing but a pile of polyvinyl chloride threating to fall over and crush one of the house cats to show for it. But tommrow is a new day, and it will be the day of the Brunelian Whip Target!
