BetaDad Builds Wooden Trikes For His Kids, Makes The Rest Of Us Look Like Tim Taylor

In our house, on our Turquoise WallTM, there hangs a large white ceramic moose head. 

MOOSE2
I - that is to say, we, my wife and I - painted the wall ourselves. As for the moose head, we got it for Christmas and after three weeks of me trying to figure out how to hang the goddamn thing, getting the wrong screws, riddling the wall with drill holes, and uttering just about every cuss word known to man and even inventing a few along the way ("Oh BULLFUCK!" being my favorite, as it worked on a couple of levels), I called our handyman and he came out and hung the thing in the span of twenty minutes and thus I felt shame.

So when my friend Andy - aka Beta Dad - decides he's going to build not one but TWO wooden balance bikes for his kids...well, I think I speak for the rest of us when I say "That is AWESOME. Now please stop raising the bar. Someone's gonna lose a hand." (For those of you who do want to try this at home, Andy's detailed how-to guide can be found here.)
