Make Revisited

Thirty Sixth Post: Make Revisited

“Make” is a magazine filled with all sorts of projects. The projects are usually involved and since the book is filled with projects the reader must pick a project and go with it. But that does not mean there is not simple projects. There are projects for everyone.

A project that was in the form of a comic tells the reader how to make a marshmallow air gun. The reader blows a short blast of air which is powerful enough to send a marshmallow 25 feet. The design is simple yet ingenious.

The book is loaded with projects and challenges. It has a lot of circuit board projects that are rather involved, but it walks the reader through it step by step. If the reader skips the electrical projects they will still find a project that interests them.

But the focus here is the “marshmallow shooter.” It takes 2 ft. of ½ inch diameter pipe and can be assembled in a minute after the pieces are cut. To see the instructions get Make: vol. 02.
