Meccano - the Adult Version

Brian had tons of Meccano when he was a kid; in fact, we still have his Mecanno in our storage room.  He loved building things then and he loves building things now.  Brian's current project is building the best TV antenna possible.  We don't use satellite because we have Netflix and our Apple TV. We don't use cable because we have an antenna.  We have had several versions, and each one is better than the last.

We have a big antenna on our chimney and we get 8 channels on a regular basis and some of the are even in HD!

The latest revision is pretty artsy.  I love the look of it and it currently sits on the top of our TV student. I also love the way Brian makes practical things aesthetically pleasing....my builder-man is also an artist!
