Over the years I've had many ideas, some odder than others. These are an assortment of projects that didn't quite warrant their own entry but were still worth including!

Pencil Crossbow
(Spring 2015)I made this miniature crossbow to go in a care package for my friend at summer camp. I also sent a few pencils as ammunition so she could terrorize her fellow campers.

Windmill Hat
(Fall 2013)I don’t recall why I made this hat. The string was wrapped around an internal shaft which powered the “windmill.” A long rubber band wrapped around the shaft in the other direction so it would always rotate back to its original position.

Budget Zamboni
(Winter 2017)My friend and I made this zamboni so we could play hockey on the pond behind my house. We used a storage bin, pvc pipe, a sled, a rug, and some scrap wood.
To seal the connection at the bottom of the bin, we used spray sealant.
