For those of you who did not watch last week Q and Erik or had not really noticed, I hurt my eye during this week’s build. Do not worry we have the cameras rolling when it happen and it will show you more later but for now, it is death ray time. Gary, spin the wheel.

Alright, and now to see what I think the death ray should look like. Let enter my imagination-animation.

First off, this thing is going to be big. It needs a stand that pivots and can be rolled around and needs to be futuristic and it probably needs some lights.

I am hanging out here at the Brooklyn Junk Store with the Mr. Tees Sprinkler and we are getting ray gun parts. Let us see what we find. How beautiful, where?

So we got a bunch of really cool ray gun parts. I got these weird plastic tank things, corrugated trash can or windy cool metal standy thing, weak blower hose, children’s toy list. We got all this junk for 40 bucks. I also used this demo switch and these Christmas lights that I have lane around then we did not bought this three foot length and its pipe to connect the wheels to the top.

The first step is to lay out all your parts. Keep in mind you may not find the same pieces as I did but the basic construction techniques are the same. I used nuts and bolts to connect this fiber glass pot to the bottom of this pot stand. Next to attached this tomato plant thingy to the under side of the first pot. Next I took a plastic film developing tank and hot glued it inside the tomato stand then I glued the leaf blower tube on top of that. Next I concentrated on the back of the gun cut a hole on the bottom of the pink trash can. This allowed me to slide inside the rest of the leaf blower tube that is now wrapped in Christmas lights both in place in the back of the gun on the end of this goes a Betty- Crocker recipe holder which acts as a control panel. The base of the gun is going to be a toy wagon with the piece of scrap wood screwed to the top. On the wood at the flanged for your steel pipe riser, I flipped this all over and mounted some more scrap wood to the wheels. This creative pivoting mound for the gun, now you are pretty much ready for the tedious pay process, partially disassemble the gun and used three colors silver, copper, and steel. Once everything is dry you can start putting it back together. We bought a steel pipe that would fit right into our chair wheels for easy mounting. Finishing touches include a gun tip made up of scrap plastic and a toothbrush holder, our dimmer switch that controls the Christmas lights, a sculpt made from an old light up slide viewer and an old walky talkie’s full controls. So, what happen with my eye, basically I was cutting a whole in a bottom of this pink plastic trash can and stupidly not wearing eye protection when and a piece, just watching you will see.

The silver lining here is the God’s of safety here has thought us an important lesson through my pain and that lesson is to always wear eye protection, always.
