Thanks, Daniel!
Daniel kneeling next to his handiwork
While many of you know Daniel for his top-notch performances in just about every WOD we throw his way, you may not know that he's just as adept with a blowtorch and raw metal.
Daniel's currently in the midst of building five bumper plate racks for us (one for each of our lifting platforms), to be followed by a dumbbell rack (our current dumbbell rack is in a mighty sad state, as many of you know!). He unveiled the first of the racks this week and we couldn't be more pleased with the end product.
Post a big thank you to Daniel in comments for his great contributions to CFO!

Daniel, you are really really getting on my nerves man. First, you smoke every WOD and make the OLYs look easy, now you're furthering your lead as Head Alpha Male via blowtorch and welding skills. Whats next, you're going to get your own 'survivorman' show on cable?...you should be ashamed of yourself.

Gotta agree with Pratik on this one.
Daniel, you need to take a long look in the mirror.

Er, WOW!
I saw those and assumed they were mass-produced high-quality machine made items. Highly impressive.

Pratik,
My Survivorman show is on hold right now with the writers strike...

-Daniel once roundhouse kicked someone so hard that his foot broke the speed of light, went back in time, and killed Amelia Earhart while she was flying over the Pacific Ocean.
-Daniel recently had the idea to sell his urine as a canned beverage. We know this beverage as Red Bull.
-If you can see Daniel, he can see you. If you can't see Daniel you may be only seconds away from death.
-The chief export of Daniel is pain.
-Daniel's tears cure cancer. Too bad he has never cried.

actually showed this rack to my wife because I thought it was cool. She said, "oh, he's cute".
I'm done with Crossfit.
