I'm bored, what can I make?

[T89 Callan]

Right then, I'm really bored.

I do however have a grage full of tools, some 2X4 and plenty of nut's bolts screws, brackets, sheet steel, rope, etc etc etc.

The last thing I made on a whim was this:



Barrel BBQ with motorised spit roast.

What can I make now though? I spotted somebody in my Ridiculeing Morons thread had suggested making some Gallos?

Shouldn't require any specialist tools or expensive materials either.

Go on then suggestions and I will try and give it a PH slant.

Gallows...

That reminds of a local blacksmith. During a quiet patch, he switched from constructing wrought iron gates to iron cages... and never had a quiet patch again!!

...Oh dear....I was thinking a nice Victoria sponge cake might fit the bill....but obviously not.

Reminds me of the film Kinky Boots http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0434124/

Mount motorised spit roast contraption behind barrel. Attach crank to end of spit roast contraption and rod to end of crank. Crank fixes to top of drum, making it open and close. I suggest using the bracket from the shelf for this job. Next, take the wheels from the Halfords thingy on the left and mount one under each leg. Find the nearest available V8 engine, and fit in the handy space between the legs, and connect to the wheels using a suitable reduction ratio. Paint drum yellow.

Then fire then engine up, throw your best bed sheet over your head and run down the road after it. For best effect, leave a few beach-balls in the road beforehand.

Impressive way to fill boredom. Personally, if I had your skills, I'd build some sort of exercise equipment like a climbing wall or a chin up bar.

How about adding some wheels and a radio control unit to your BBQ... Totally useless, but every bloke will love it....

Lately I've ben thinking about getting a load of Dexion, welding it into a chassis and making a really cool go kart...

Large barbecue in a wooden frame. It is going to catch fire the first time you use it? Or is that the cunning plan

[dudleybloke]

make a silly pikes peak style body kit for your car out of whatever you've got lying around.
post pics of the result and we can have a laugh!

If your bored you surf PH's. Trust me i've had years of it.
