Random stimulation for the brain
This is my response to the challenge set by Jairus of all to build a PVC war horn. As is my way, I decided to build the smallest and most annoying air human powered air horn possible. Costing about £1.50 and built from plumbing parts, a balloon and a drinking straw, this mini air horn can kick out over 110dB so ear protection may be required at high volumes.

In this project I create another mini weapon, well sort of. This was inspired by a particularly ruthless real life meat cleaver that I thought may look ‘cute’ miniaturised. To give it some real world function I also created a wooden block to hold the blade, which also doubles up as a fridge magnet. So far this is my favorite mini weapon build because it’s so damn useful, I’ve pulled the mini cleaver from its fridge magnet block many times and used it to unbox or cut things.

For this project I decided to make a replica real Minecraft torch for the garden. The real beauty of this is that they are nothing more complicated than scrap wood, bits of tin and a splash of acrylic paint. Recycling never looked this good.

This is a mini pocket sized Batman batarang project that I made into an optional fidget spinner, just to see if I could make it work, and it does. If you want the template, scroll down to the bottom of the page 🙂 I’ve always fancied making a more practical batarang, something a bit more spherical and well balanced, but quick to make from scrap metal. This is that build, made one weekend just for the hell of it…

The idea behind this project was to make a vacuum former to make more cool stuff for future projects. I wanted it to be easy to make and use, look nice, store easily, and be cheap to make. It works really well, was made from scrap wood and cost next to nothing… Job done.

In this short project I decided to make loud roll caps from my youth, but super size them. This all started when I simply couldn’t find any decent good quality loud roll caps. I don’t know whether it’s because they’re all made in China these days, or probably more likely that health and safety have crimped their style. Either way this is what I came up with…

In this project I tackle a much requested miniature weapon build, the mini Katana. Despite weighing only 1.2g and being only 71mm long, this miniature Samurai sword has a fully functioning highly polished razor sharp blade and is very cheap to build.

I’ve always wanted to build a giant match. In this project I set out to build the worlds largest fully strikeable match that a normal person can pick up easily, and strike to ignite. I did find other matches on YouTube but they were either so big they couldn’t be lifted, didn’t light very well, or were made from rocket candy, making them dangerous and not able to be lit without a flame, which seems like cheating to me. This is my build…

What sorcery is this? You can make a homemade metal Thor’s hammer and take it back to your chambers for less than 100 gold coins? Yup. I was asked to build this by my subscribers, and I gave it some real thought because I didn’t just want something to look at. I wanted something epic, a talking point, something with a use, but still buildable and relatively cheap and safe if you wanted a cheeky project. Here’s what I came up with…
Apart from being a talking point for any self respecting man cave, this build could make a fabulous door stop or centerpiece for workshops or Gyms. This is a piece of manly manliness that is definitely something unique.

Holy crap, this miniature spear build was good. I have to be honest, I knew I could make something a bit tasty, but the end result was so good I couldn’t believe it. This is possibly the most fun I have had to date with a build for you guys on my channel, they are just so much fun to build and fire. You know the end result is good when even your mum says wow, just remember it’s not a toy.
