'A ledge' to whom, precisely?

'A ledge' to whom, precisely?
Well, me, for a start! As an ex inventor and special effects technician, I used to build stuff like that at work and in my shed. It genuinely tickled me seeing him drag home-made rockets out into the desert, even if I thought he was a bit crazy. I'm a scientist these days and I occasionally come across people like him. Almost always completely harmless-crazy and self funded, they turn up at the lab and enquire about getting their their whacky inventions tested by us.
