You'll find illustrated, step-by-step instructions for 24 projects, like a simple electric guitar, cardboard boomerangs, water-powered bottle rockets, kites made from FedEx envelopes, and old school board games like Go, Tafl, and Shut-the-Box.You (and your kids) will have hours of fun making projects, like:

  • An oversized joy buzzer that (safely) administers a 100 volt jolt
  • Cool, mess-free, screen printed t-shirts
  • An adorable sewn Sock Squid
  • Booming Thunderdrums made from salvaged x-ray film
  • A cigar-box synthesizer
  • A powerful muzzleloader that shoots marshmallows

    As you build, you'll learn the basics of carpentry, sewing, circuitry, and soldering. There's no technical experience required, and the projects won't break the bank—some are even free.Whether you're a mom or dad in search of a rainy day activity, a Scout leader needing to educate and entertain your troop, or just a DIY weekend warrior, the projects in Snip, Burn, Solder, Shred will inspire and amuse you. Now roll up your sleeves and make!
