DIY Canoe Made out of PVC Pipe & Duct Tape!

Canoe Made out of PVC Pipe & Duct Tape!

One of my best friends from college is a fully-redneck dude who will use duct tape for anthing that leaks.

He also told me if you duct tape anything, it’s probably redneck.

Here’s a canoe made out of PVC pipe and duct tape that’d definitely qualify as redneck boat.

I wanted a boat that would allow me to cast into the shore instead of from the shore. Being a mechanical engineer, one thing led to another and as the years passed I decided I would build a skin-on-frame kayak. The final kayak would be wood framed and fabric skinned. I searched for additional ideas and eventually made a balsa and tissue paper model of an 18 footer. Not wanting to invest more money and time than necessary in a prototype, I began thinking of a simple and quick way to test a design.

Here’s a cool Alarm Clock you need to aim perfectly in the bullseye to turn the alarm clock off.

Of course, if you are a good aimer, this might not be an effective way for you to wake up.

Perfect for those who like the “snooze” button, this alarm will not cease until you successfully hit the bull’s-eye! Light, date, time- and alarm-set buttons on base.

DIY Steampunk Tennis Rackets look more like Ping Pong Rackets!

Posted in Consumer, Cool, Design, DoItYourself!, Gadgets, Steampunk by max on the July 17th, 2008 at 4:27 pm

DIY Steampunk Tennis Rackets look more like Ping Pong Rackets!

These DIY Steampunk Tennis Rackets do look more like ping pong rackets, don’t they?

Regardless, you can learn how to make one here.

The ball is made from a couple of carrier bags, so all in all this is a very nice little project that doesn’t require much in the way of special materials or equipment. Like with just about all my projects, a glue gun is very handy to make the project go quickly, but you can use white woodwork glue (Elmers or PVA) if you want to and you have the time and the patience to sit holding each bit while it dries.
