New in the Maker Shed:  Mini Weapons of Mass Destruction

In Mini Weapons of Mass Destruction toy designer John Austin provides detailed, step-by-step instructions for building 35 devices include catapults, slingshots, minibombs, darts, and combustion shooters. Once you’ve built your armory, the author provides plans for a Top Secret Concealing Book to hide your stash, as well as targets for shooting practice. Never let your personal space go undefended again!

We’ve come a long way from the Peashooter Era: with the advent of modern household products and office supplies–binder clips, clothespins, rubber bands, ballpoint pens, toothpicks, paper clips, plastic utensils, and (of course) matches and barbeque lighters–troublemakers of all stripes have the components needed to build an impressive, if somewhat miniaturized, arsenal.

    Spitballs man…spitballs! It’s about time someone came up with a book that explains what to do with all this junk in my desk drawer! To think..I’ve been sitting here for 6 years (daydreaming), unaware I could be building catapults and launching *&@# all over the office. In all serious, I work in a pretty creative office…so this will be perfect for breaking up the day!

    mind, mood..and catapults!
