If you have cats or other unwanted animals in your garden I have now put together simple instructions on how to make your own automatic sprinkler animal repellent. This design is easier to put together than a lego kit, allowing people with no prior DIY skills to build it. Best of all it can be… Read More

This is a carbon arc search light I made out of an old welder, backyard fire pit and 374 mirrors. [I will add some more behind the scenes and information here soon] Hope you enjoy my latest video!
New video is up on my YouTube channel now. So back in the ’90s, I built one of my first DIY inventions—a beach umbrella skateboard land yacht. Armed with nothing but a skateboard, an umbrella, and a very questionable understanding of both aerodynamics and road rules, I figured, why not? So, I set sail. I… Read More
So, I came across this old story about a guy named Harry Grindell Matthews, who supposedly invented a “death ray” back in the 1920s. The claims were wild—stopping engines, igniting gunpowder, and even destroying cities. Naturally, I had to have a crack at building it myself. Despite his claims of selling the device, no one truly… Read More
In my latest video, I dive into some bizarre yet dangerous vintage life hacks from a book written over a 100 years ago. Can a potato really be used to test electrical polarity? Will solid wire work as a water pipe? And how safe is it to run a drill off a lightbulb filament? I… Read More
Have you ever had your car broken into? Yeah, it sucks. Mark Rober had a go at getting revenge on car thieves with his famous glitter bomb that also deploys fart spray. It’s a fun vid and great engineering, but I’ve always felt it wasn’t quite enough to make someone reconsider their life choices. I… Read More
Ever wondered if you can make a model rocket from household junk? Maybe not? But for some reason I did, and it was tougher than I thought. In my latest video, we’ll see if we can build a gas rocket using only trash (including Pringles cans and PET beverage bottles), PVC and propane gas.
If you were unfamiliar with my YouTube channel and asked me to describe it to you, you wouldn’t believe how hard an “elevator pitch” is for it. Sometimes there are cats, sometimes things that look like guns, sometimes drones and sometimes all of the above… plus a Bison standing in a field. Today’s video… Read More
After breaking my foot I thought it would be a great idea to build Pogo Stick Crutches, during the build the addition of a stilt option was added for “reasons”, as well as LED lighting, a beer holder & bottle opener. Check out the video below! [As always I will add some more photos and… Read More
I have finish building the Pogo Crutches and if the idea wan’t dangerous enough I have added the feature of “Pogo Stilts”! Next video we test them out. *More info coming to this post soon If you missed part 1 Pogo Crutches!
I broke my foot, so I decided it would be a great idea to make Pogo Crutches. I can’t wait to show you how this turned out. Part 2 will be out in a few days so subscribe to my YouTube channel so you don’t miss it. Enjoy:
