Collapsible Trebuchet


This is my collapsible trebuchet. Traditional trebutchets are powered by weights, but mine is powered by humans. It can launch a screw almost 30 feet.

Shrunken Apple Head

This is my shrunken apple head I made for Halloween. We don't decorate a lot for Halloween, so I decided to take matters into my own hands. It is only an apple with some lemon soaked into it and let to dry.

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.

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.
