Keep it up Nala. Make a badass plow and shut up all of these (I'm tempted to say "Haters", but I hate that term) people. Things like that usually don't go according to plan on the first attempt.

Only Nala would use a TV tray as a snow plow. My advice to you Nala is:

Trying really doesn't count for s*** unless you actually eventually accomplish.

At that point we will give him respect but till then all the fact that he keeps trying means is that he fails a lot.

We all know the cliche "It took Edison 1000 tries to make the light bulb", but the point is he made a hugely significant invention that changed the world. You think it would be a cliche still if all we could say was "Edison tried 3000 times, before he died without accomplishing anything"?

Trying is not worth anything if what you are trying is stupid.

If you have a good design, that isn't quite there I can respect the perseverance and confidence of ability in continued attempts... But I have yet to see a good design or any reason for confidence of ability.

Be sure to have an angle between your parallel pusher supports, the blade will try to push on the shorter support outward. Having an angle will help the supports parallel.

If I'm following this thread right then the answer is NO, he didn't clear it, it looks like he drove 10-15yrds (in one direction) and it broke. He spent 3 hrs to build his plow. Even then it did a s***ty job. Like I said if he had spent the 3 hrs shoveling I think he would have the entire driveway done. So....

FAIL

There are tons of people who think things can be done but will never do it themselves.

I have never been skydiving... does that mean that I think it can't be done?

I do not see how it is possible that someone would keep posting up the stupid s*** they do over and over. LOL I have done some retarded things over the years but doesn't mean i am going to broadcast it to everyone. Everyone bashes on this "kid" yet he keeps posting away.

Either #1- He is not real and someone is awesome enough to troll the forum for this long. #2- Maybe his mother was experimenting with alot of drugs/alchohol during pregnancy.

Eitherway it cracks me up so keep on going little buddy!

#3- He doesn't really care that much about what people say about him over the intarwebz and will keep on experimenting with life in order to shape himself on his own.
