You know what I'm getting at. Man projects. Potato cannons, flame throwers, general waste-of-time DIY projects.

I'm feeling fairly bored, can't get any overtime at work and fancy making something awesome. Just an inexplicable urge to build something.

Whatever project I go for I'm gonna do a thread for it I think.

I've already done the potato cannon jobbie, and a few other bits.

I know there's someone on here that's built a rocket scooter, I know I'm not alone! So go on, post what you've made, share your monstrous creations and inspire me! :D
 
Not as manly as Johnny69 and his pulse jet.

But built radio controlled boats and several desks. Oh and a rocket using those model solid rocket fuel motors.
Also designed a rc plane and a computer inside a desk. But funds are a bit low to make them.

Think we should have an OcUK scrapheap challenge team.

Hahaha, man ive been designing a pc in a desk for about a year and a half.

Not enough space/cash/tools to build yet.

Next year when me and gf move back to glasgow im going to put the plan into action:p

Just a thought ;)
 
An infallible contraption to make sure when you pee it hits the INSIDE of the pan and doesn't run down the outside? :D
 
Planned to build a fast go cart using a car engine but what developed was more akin to a dune buggy, no pics though :(
Fiesta engine in rear of tubular / space frame chassis using fiesta front suspension struts for both front and rear. Took it down the scrappy when the GF threatened to leave me because I spent more time in the garage than I did on her. Bitch still left me. :(

Shortened , bobtailed and jacked up a rangerover for offroading.

Stuck a V6 engine in a 1955 Series I landrover for offroading

Built loads of RC cars, helicopters and a plane

built a proper go kart with a bike engine in it

Is that enough :D

made a huge flame thrower. have vid somewhere but would have to find it. Worked by compressing diesel. burn 1L of diesel in 2 seconds. and 20Ft flame was awesome!

Also made hand held air cannon out of C02 canisters copper pipe and a ball valve could punch a 1'' hold trough 3mm steal at 50 yards and fire an arrow 450m.
