I disagree. The sky is definitely NOT the limit!
When you're creative enough, and have the right connections, you could always get into space.
An interplanetary nuclear missile would be an impressive summer project wouldn't it? :wink:

shaw guys thanks for the great response.

About GTA, yeah, i love modding the speeds. My favourite is definitely the motorbike 600cc. I have only managed to get it into 5th once.

Otherwise, all sick ideas, but i have pretty much no money. Im liking the hovercraft though.
At the moment Im rebuilding the tattoo machine so instead of using a motor and cam system, im using electromagnets (like a real tattoo machine). I'll put up a couple of plans some time.

So yeah, any more suggestions are more than welcome!

P.S. i have done a small tattoo on my wrist of a peace sign, which turned out well, but i would definitely not do any big pieces with a homemdae machine :shock:

P.P.S. interestingly enough, I have also just finished building a small sound system. It uses an interesting bass dynamic which includes a tube from the inverted speaker in a normal box. This gives it a very nice sound. But i would also like to look into the building of a subwoofer, as soon as I google what exactly it is :oops:

I can't believe I watched a whole clip of four lawnmowers going round and round and round a small circular grass track for two and a half minutes :shock:
It's a lot more fun to drive one than to watch one, they go about 50 MPH. :twisted:

Subwoofers are a special kind of speaker designed for very low-frequency sounds. My dad just got a new 300v part so now it's really sweet. It's the kind of speaker that shakes the ground :twisted: :D
