Craig's Stuff

    This is where I post my other interests that are not related to the Victorian house thing.  While I don't have much of a life outside of that, I do try to occupy myself with projects from time to time. 

 

 

Some people measure success in wealth and career.  Not us.  The mark or success is how good a party you can throw.  We have thrown a few bashes over the years, but this one was the killer.  Be sure to check out the video section, definitely worth seeing....

 

 

The most recent project of mine is my Snorunner. I have wanted one of these for a while and finally decided to take the plunge...

 

 

This project is called "The Nuker"  When I was a kid, I had a Tennis Ball Cannon that my Dad made from tin cans and duct tape.  We played with that thing endlessly.  Just recently I did a lttle research online and found out that these cannons had come a long way since then.  I decided that I wanted to make the coolest Tennis Ball Cannon of all time.  I don't know if it actually is the coolest, but I'm pretty happy with the way it came out.

UPDATE!  There is a second Tennis ball Cannon on the block, "The Nuker II"

 

 

 A few years back I decided to build a stand-up video arcade machine that played every classic arcade game from the 1980's.  It was a long involved project, but the results were a machine that has been used for many many hours.  These types of machines have really evolved since then and have become more elaborate.  This was one of the earlier ones...

 

 

When I was a kid I had a mini motorcycle that was simply indestructible.  It was the best thing that could ever happen to a 10 year old boy.  I found this review of that little bike in a 1971 edition of Cycle magazine.  This is my tribute to a machine that gave me a world of wonderful memories.
