Thinking about something different- not a bike or car. No idea what, just fancy doing something to keep me busy.
Prize for the silliest idea.

Always fancied building myself a canoe/kayak real wood number. Its on the project list.

Had been talking at work as well about a tattie cannon, a colleagues friend had one. Deoderant propeled :twisted:

Of course the natrual progression was to mount the spud cannon on the canoe you tube potato cannon for inspiration

I like the boat idea Kai, but I already have one at the end of the garden. I always planned to build a beautiful powerboat out of wood as a retirement project one day (something along the lines of a Riva Aquarama with two V8 motors) but I am the worlds worst joiner. I cannot even nail a plank down without destroying it- no, I have realised that when it comes to wood, burning it is about my limit.

Tatty gun- WTF??
