My partner at work came back to the design center Sunday with the latest issue. It had 2 incredible projects: a potato gun and a trebuchet.
With time on our hands we picked all the parts for the spud gun,mostly PVC pipe and a BBQ igniter and got to work. Took about an hour. Working in a home center has some advantages.It'll be ready to fire tomorrow. Can't wait. S'posed to fire a spud at 300MPH!

It was busier today but the trebuchet is almost done. Just 16" tall we're looking forward to hurling tulip bulbs at management.

That's great! You gotta post a photo of the trebuchet. Maybe you can use it to hurl paint cans in the parking lot.
