    Cool My TV and CRT Yokes Solution

    So, I have found a way to break down these Yokes without having to do anything more than throw them in a tub with a microwave motor. In a few days time, I'll go back and pick out the copper, all plastic already removed. No machine tumbling, hydraulic log splitter, or any size trash compactor.



    How you might ask?

    It's simple.

    Get yourself a 2 year old boy.

    Perhaps, I am tired, and don't get the joke or whatever, but what does a 2 year old, have to do with it?

    Well, I guess I could explain. I don't remember being 2, and haven't been around any 2 year olds before my son (which I am not the biological father, but I am his Daddy now), but if anyone has a child like mine, then he's a destructive kid. Might be the enviroment around him, I don't know...But he will pick up the microwave motor and drop it on the yokes...All day..

    He's right. Kids love breaking stuff up! My 11 y/o son just discovered he has a talent for taking things apart. I had 3 microwaves and a couple of ceiling fans and I reckon about 5 or 6 vacuums last week to tear down. Gave him a few hand tools and he done it all! Only thing is maybe I shouldn't have given him the hammer. Boy, what a mess I gotta go clean up now

    Perhaps one might need to have kids to get the joke. I have kids, I got it, he may not. Good grief.

    I have a 4 year old and 2 year old girl. Perhaps I need boys to actually get the joke.

    I have a 3 year old nephew. He might like to break things. If I am to make my own, I need a woman, 9 months and even then it's a 50/50 chance of getting a boy.

    Has to be a better way...

    Not necessarily. More so of I don't have time for a woman or kids right now.
