New Nerf gun, now with Frickin' Laser Beams™. And a followup... Quote:
Also, I recently got a shipment of a few square meters of polystyrene to start my next long-term project. Any other creative buildery-craftery going on here lately?

I've been tempted to build an alcohol powered tater/Nerf gun once or twice before, but I'm not quite comfortable with lighting up one of those bad boys. Somehow stored compressed air doesn't seem as dangerous, even though I've read that it can be. Plus, any fleeting thoughts I might have to create a more powerful Nerf firearm are dashed away when I realize I wouldn't be able to brandish it at work...

Anyone else hacking together some projects lately? abb, how'd your bike trailer end up? Here's my latest mini-project. I wanted to take an NES Zapper and make a laser pointer out of it. Unfortunately, I got a little scammed on Amazon and the seller sent me a cheap knock-off instead of a real Zapper. The price was cheap; so, I'm not too upset over it. So, I had to go about painting it first after ripping the guts out. A few dabs of soldering (and almost an hour of sweating while undoing a near-catastrophic soldering goof on the tiny laser diode driver) later, and the new guts fit like a glove! Putting the batteries in the grip gives the otherwise lightweight hunk of plastic a little more heft. Frickin' laser beams!!! The quality of this board depends on the quality of the posts.

Locking this "perpetual" thread since we have a whole forum for this kind of stuff now.
