Who else makes weird stuff just because they can?

I guess it depends on your definiton of "wierd."

I used to be involved in Martial arts and made imitation practice weapons for practice purposes. I work as a Technology teacherand over the years have built a fair number of pieces of furniture and rocking horses and other toys.

I have built staqe scenery and puppet theaters and a launcher for water bottle rockets.

Some of the more unusual things I have built are catapults and trebuchets. Two yeas ago I built a T-shirt cannon for use during football, basketball, and volleyball games.

I am also helping a group of students to build duck calls.

I also built a smoker out of two 55 gallon barrels.

Do any of these count as wierd?

That reminds me that I've been wishing I had the time to convert my roomba into a robot lawnmower.

Building anything is cool and fun, Verga.  I give you extra cool point for the tshirt launcher and medieval weapons.

I make a somewhat crazy/complex Halloween costume for myself every year...I really enjoy making costumes.  I'm the one in the green shirt...

For years I have wanted to take an old exercise bike, remove the "stand" add another wheel and take it out on the road. The lack of brakes or steering could be problematic but thats okay.

I need to check on craigslist now.

I also make Halloween stuff. But I focus on props not costumes. I made all 3 of the props shown below.

When we lived in western NY I made a scarecrow from some of my hunting clothes and an empty bleach bottle for a head. I sat it next to the porch in a lawn chair for the week before Holloween.

Holloween night I switched places with him and scared the bejesus out of some of the neighbors when the "scarecrow" came to life.
