I recently purchased a JT Flex 8 Full Coverage paintball mask. So far I like everything about the mask . . . . except for one thing: the lack of ear protection. I don’t quite understand it really. The company took their time to create a real nice mask with a great lens, but […]
As I stated in my last blog post, my family has been talking about going canoeing again. For safety reasons I plan on keeping my iPhone with me in the boat. Although I have a Lifeproof case on my phone that keeps it waterproof, if our canoe ward to flip over, my iPhone would sink to the […]
My family and I have been talking about going canoeing sometime soon. We went canoeing for the first time about two years ago and had a great time, but after it was over there was one thing we all wish we had brought on the boat ride: a fishing pole! All we wanted was a […]
There has been many times I have needed to cut a smooth hole in a piece of foam. When I am building RC planes I normally want to cut a smooth hole to run a pushrod or wire through the foam. When I need to do this I don’t want to just shove a […]
My brother and I recently got paintball guns and we plan to play in the woods. We haven’t played yet, but I know the secret to winning will be camouflage. If he can’t see me, he can’t shoot me. I’m starting to get my thoughts together on how exactly to camouflage my gun. The other […]

One of my favorite hobbies is to fly remote control airplanes. I normally fly electric planes so I am always having to charge batteries. I use LiPo batteries for my planes and I have heard that they have the potential to be dangerous if not monitored well. I read that if something goes wrong in the […]
A couple of months ago I picked up a few cigar boxes at a yard sale for three bucks. I got them because they seemed great for projects and mainly to make a cigar box guitar at some point. So I guess it was about a week and a half ago I was sitting at […]
I was cleaning out one of my ‘junk drawers’ yesterday and I stumbled across one of my past projects, a tuna can oil lamp. I made this about, I’d say, two years ago because I wanted a flame for melting wax and just burning stuff. I really wanted a bunsen burner but, like a […]
I have been building an RC plane recently (I will post it when it’s complete) and when I went to hook up the ailerons I realized I didn’t have Y-connector to plug the servos into one channel. It was too late in the day to go to a hobby shop and I didn’t want to […]
