Real Men of Genius: The Shirts Off Our Backs at 180 Feet Per Second
We've been on an extended project hiatus, so it was time for Scott and me to get back to our weekend do-it-yourself (DIY) projects. This weekend's edition was to build a t-shirt cannon. As the Bud Light Real Men of Genius commercial goes, we wanted to be able to give the shirts off our backs--at 180 feet per second.
The project plans come courtesy of MAKE magazine. Here's a short 1:50 video of Scott explaining the plan and a t-shirt launch.
Whoo hoo... works the first time!
