Dadlight

This is what I gave dad for fathers day. It is a tic-tac flashlight. I wrapped it in electrical tape and wrote DAD on it and gave it to him.
The dadlight lit up.

Knex Pistol

This is my knex pistol I made. I got the directions from an awesome site called Insctuctables.com. I go on there all the time and have even posted a few. But I found this cool pistol and decided to make it. it uses lots of knex pieces and 5 rubberbands and holds up to 6 shots. All You do is cock it and fire. It is really cool.



This is a picture of the gun cocked and loaded.









This is the trigger mechanism.

My "Sprinkler"




This is my water toy I made. It shoots water about 10 feet up in the air. If you take the endcap at the top off, you can hold down a bottle until it shoots off the end. It's really fun.



This is where the hose connects and the valve is. The vavle is for releiving the pressure when trying to launch a bottle rocket.

Grappling Hook

This is my grappling hook I made a week ago. It's made from 10 ft. of rope, coat hangers, and lots of duct tape. It can hold my weight (87 lbs.), but it bent a lot. If you attempt to make it, be careful.





This is the actual grappling hook.








This is the loop I put my foot in to anchor it to the ground when I am throwing it.
