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 […]
I have always been fascinated with catapults. Although I have built probably over a dozen, I haven’t built one in a long while. So one night over the past week I was sitting at my desk and saw my container of airsoft BBs and thought to myself that I had never made a catapult to […]
I really like to play ping pong. The only problem for me is that there is just no room in my house for a ping pong table, so I don’t get to play very often. I realized that the dinner table at my house is pretty big and would probably suffice as a ping pong […]
Over the weekend I went night fishing with my family. When you go night fishing you want to set up lanterns to attract bugs. The bugs attract small fish, the small fish attract bigger fish, and those fish attract even bigger fish (the ones you want to catch). So having a lantern is pretty important. […]
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 […]
Score! I got this really awesome tool at a yardsale the other day. It’s nothing I’ve ever seen before. It’s a hand crank drill press. It’s a hand crank drill with a lever to lower the drill. This drill press has stamped into it “Made In Germany”. The guy I bought it from said he […]
There have been multiple times where I have needed a 9v battery lead/clip but did not have one. Just the other day I was working on a project that I wanted to hook a 9v up to and like before I did not have any 9v battery clips, so I made my own. I made […]
My RC boat is almost finished! I got the rudder installed and I just finished installing the stuffing tube, shaft, and motor. I now just have to get a battery to use and then I’ll try ‘er out! To mount the stuffing tube to the boat I drilled two holes in the center of the […]
Time to build a rudder for the boat. I made the rudder out of some brass sheet I got at the hardware store. To start I took my brass sheet and I drew on it the dimensions of the rudder. I made the rudder 1-1/4″ wide at the top and 1″ at the bottom. The […]
