I have always wanted to be able to see the TV while making dinner, but I would either have to move the entire living room around, or knock out a few walls so I could see it. The other option was buy a cheap and tiny HDTV for $149 that I don't have to spend... but I did have an old portable DVD player, a spare converter box, and a bunch of cables, so I made this...

TV and DVD and it folds flat if I need to get into the cabinet! :D

my grandmother was married to an engineer...she used to say that poverty was the mother of inventions.

anyway, now you can watch cooking shows and cook while watching them.

Clever! This is so much more interesting--and versatile-- than just buying a small TV.
