$14 Big Shot

[Knotahippie]

Made this last year (right after my camera broke, finally got a new one!)

I got an old rake from the shop, an old glove and 14 bucks in surgical tubing.

Fits perfect into the pruner pole connector.

Works good! I'm selling it for $100...

I'll bid $16. That still gives you almost 15% profit.

Pretty good, $16!

I was thinking Ebay earlier but I think this is more for the Craigslist crowd.

I also tried the surgical tubing. Doesn't hold up and not nearly the elasticicty (sp).

The tubing used by sherrill is made of neoprene. My friend found a source, but you have to buy 500 feet of it.

The first thing I noticed was the elasticiy.

This is the first one I've built and I didn't study up much.

The tubing IS pretty long and I gotta' use two 8' extensions, but it launches 16oz. well over 100'.

I keep it in a bag so it donsn't get banged around or exposed to the elements much.

plus I rarely use it.

I need to break mine out and practice with it.
