Anyone else a little freaked out by how young this kid looks?!?

I don't know many kids that could actually build anything, and his thing looks fairly well thought out, if dangerous...

I was thinking the same thing about having it on your back. Unless your in a war (not in the street of your nieghborhood, haha) why have it strapped on to you?


How about home burglar alarm system integration
I imagine a pipe and one of those fuel jets every foot or so, underneith the roof's overhang, which can't be shut off until I arrive haha

Reminds me of an idea I had when I was a teen, long ago. Tell me if this would work:

Well, on the older cars it was just a spark plug. If you want to do it now, you have to remove your catalitic converter. uhm... I think.

How about cleaning dust bunnies out from under the bed?

"Hey dad, I need some parts for a flame thrower I'm building, can you take me to the hardware store?"

"SURE son!! Let's go!!"

Any male who sees this and isn't immediately envious needs to check to see if the Shuttle in really in the Hanger.

Apologies for stealing the Homer Simpson quote, but I get to use it so rarely.

It's all part of growing up, surviving the poor choices that is.
My flamethrower was a converted forest service backpack sprayer with home made napalm. We also made lots of other neat gadgets sometimes with the connivance of my dad. And the stuff we found in them old "pony mines", we won't even talk about what we done with that stuff . Life was more dangerous back then and we still lived through it. I'd much rather have my kids playing with that stuff than shoving powder up their nose. D@mn BATFE takes all the fun out of life. Some of you are beginning to sound like members of the cheering section for Nanny State Inc.

Anything that doesn't kill you.....

i did this last year with a pair of stainless indian tanks on a backpack frame and an assortment of high pressure fuel injection hose and piping. really cool way to burn 10$ of Ki kero in 60 seconds or less. i was getting 20 yards of pure fun and burning the hair off the backs of my hands.

need to bring this rig to the next fal files mason dixon shoot. last time the bad fuel wouldn't run, but i fixed that problem.

What's the Jeff Foxworthy joke about the last words of a Redneck?


Lookie here... Watch this!

Man, I GOTTA make one of those...I've had some rather darned aggresive wasps/hornes/bees this year...and a crazed chipmunk or 2.
