Hey has any one read the book Backyard Ballistics? I have, and I really liked it. If you have read it have you made any of the projects, with out losing any body parts?

Unfortunately I have not made any of the projects my self.

But if you have you can post a picture it and tell if it works well.

Never read it, but in similar vein, I do have one of these.

It's way too fun. I should put up some video footage of it being used.

i haven't read the book, but my brother did make a potato gun once, it was a little different from the potato cannon, but the same concept

My brother got that book for Christmas! He hasn't made anything yet, but I hope he does. (People from the TH would probably know my brother: Tim Peterson

Never heard of the book...and my brother hasn't either. He just makes things that blow up other things from scratch I guess.

Wow no one has read it

, when I first read the book a friend had lent it to me. Thats when I fell in to love with it and whent out and got my own copy. But I also found another book by the same auther named The Art of the Catapult that I that was pretty sweet. So if you are in to building catapults it is the book to read. Hey and the ThunderpipeFX-1 loks pretty cool and you should put up video footage of it being used.

But if any one eles builds any one of the progects they can put up some pictures or movies.

I will. I've got it on the editing computer now, and just have to compress it.

If you want to see a still frame, check out the post your desktop thread over at Finnemans. It's on page three when I put up a screen shot of my editing computer.
