Ha I didn't even think of the safety aspect. I'm out in the boonies, but, of course, my daughter likes to watch, so it's always a big deal making sure she stays behind the imaginary perimeter. She might even be able to take a few whacks with this axe.

I wish! That would be a cool experience. I never make it a point to watch that show, but I always end up glued to it.
My friends always send me pictures of when they find the dual draft guard in a stores to tease me, because I made a few of those for our doors at the old house a few years before those were made. I was sick of repositioning the door sock every time you opened the door, so the easy solution was to attach two together with a strip of fabric and slip the fabric under the door. Now some dude is making a pretty penny off that. *sad face*
A few others: When I was a kid I rigged a silly string can to my wrist to be able to shoot it Spider-Man style. Then Boom! They made it. My mother and I were developing a scanner that attached to shopping carts, so you could have everything scanned before the checkout line. But now with smartphones and whatever, it's a pretty antiquated idea. Plus, I think we saw that some stores already had them in place. *moar sad face*
The dual draft guard one really hurts because the idea is so simple that it would have been very doable for a start-up.
