Prodnography: 3x5 card Bleachers -- DIY
R. Emory Lundberg | Mar 27 2006
Levenger makes a wooden 3x5 bleacher setup. Its really big and honestly awfully expensive. There is a guy in my office that knows his way around a saw, so he prototyped a set of bleachers for me. I love it. It isn't super clean (lots of glue inside it and the edges aren't polished or anything) but it is certainly usable as you can see :-) 12 Comments

That way I can cross things out as I do them each week, without marking up my master checklist.) »

What I really need is a set of bleachers that are three rows, ten cards wide (laid horizontally). I never thought of asking someone to build it. Will you show a side shot of it? »
