What happens here

The user continues to operate the ratchet mechanism of the 'Board Stretcher 2000', creating the visual illusion that the short board is being stretched to a longer length. After the 'stretching' is complete, a full-length piece of lumber, ostensibly the successfully 'stretched' board, is removed from the device, humorously implying that the miscut has been rectified.

Goal: To humorously show the board being 'stretched' to the correct length.
