RE: home made crap
Jul 14 2008, 6:46 PM EDT i agree with the crimson bat, infact i can make one right now, the spear could be helpful, but y a spear, how about more of a javelin and make a lot of em, and a holster or quiver so you can through when needed i would also use the katana at my place aswell, and then the hedgetrimmer for house hold defences Do you find this valuable? |

RE: home made crap
Sep 18 2008, 2:52 PM EDT For the more advanced tinkerers. :^) I came across a reference to a cartridge flame thrower. Army artillery unit had some old canister rounds that were defective. They pulled the canister and put a plastic bag of grease in it's place. The power ignited the grease on firing and they had a large fireball out the muzzle. My ideal is to fill the bottom of a PVC drain pipe with an explosive charge, then fill the top with grease or heavy oil. Remote detonate in the middle of a group for maximum effect. Preferably have several going off at the same time as an area denial weapon. 2 out of 2 found this valuable. Do you? |

Sep 18 2008, 3:48 PM EDT a baseball bat with 6" hot-dipped gavanized nails driven through the last 8 inches. the spikes poke out enough to get to the proper portions of anatomy, battle tested in the trenches of ww1. 1 out of 1 found this valuable. Do you? |

RE: home made crap
Sep 19 2008, 9:31 PM EDT I have some basic welding, PBASIC programing, and technical know how to make some pretty cool devices. When I move out to a ranch in the winter I can start to make some of these fun things. I want to make an RC tank that shoots rat shot or something. I could whip up something like http://www.trossenrobotics.com/VEXplorer-Modular-Robotic-System.asp Do you find this valuable? |

Sep 19 2008, 9:47 PM EDT i would use one of those rc cars that has a camera on it. Very useful to scout out areas and can be use as rc bombs. 2 out of 2 found this valuable. Do you? |

RE: home made crap
Sep 19 2008, 10:53 PM EDT i don't think i'd use the barbed wire though, the actual cuts would probably be superficial on zombies at best. although there is a certain intemidation factor to a raider when they see a bat with barbed wire on it, i'd spray paint the business end red for good measure.

Sep 20 2008, 10:17 PM EDT "Steel poles or rebarok first thing, if you dont know that acetylene starts with an A it means you have never owned or refilled a bottle meaning you dont know the first thing about flashback arrestors or the proper setup of an oxy/ acetylene unit. if this is the case and you value your life just leave it alone. besides, all the things listed here you could make with a good skillsaw. also im not really big on the old wheel grinder because well they suck. just use a hand grinder and a wet stone.

RE: home made crap
Sep 20 2008, 10:34 PM EDT mig is easier to learn, and far less harzardous. alicestar is right, don't fuck with oxy-acetylylene if you can't even spell it. personally i'd take the torch over a mig welder, just for the cutting ability and i know how to use a torch to carbonize blades. but i'm getting my bachelors in welding. mig can be learned in about 20 minutes.

"I took a class in high school some service refilled the tanks also the equipment sucked I would rather use a mig but they are more expensive the copper coded steel coils that used oxgen with just one tank and not two it was much easiler and most likly safer to use but it need electricity to use it and Acetylene dosn't need electricity but they are far more dangerous and have killed even the best of welders I was a novic with the Acetylene but it is better than the damn stick that burns up the rods too quickly and also requires power normaly machine shops have migs Do you find this valuable? |

Compressed flammable gasses scare me. And, yes I have taken welding classes. And, yes electric welding predates acetylene welding. If you want to try something different there are torches that use gasoline and diesel for fuel. Do you find this valuable? |

RE: home made crap
Sep 21 2008, 9:54 PM EDT thats an easy one. welding happens at a higher temp than welding. cutting torches work on the principle that the oxides of metals generally melt at lower temperatures than the metals themselves, squeezing the handle on the torch doesn't make the flame hotter, it sends a blast of oxygen onto the metal that oxdizes it, making the melting tempature lower than it normally is. this principle works only on ferrous metals, hence why oxyfuel welding doesnt work on aluminum.
