Sparklers are fun, right? Well, if you multiply that fun times 1,000 in a pile, then it gets really fun, and hot, and somewhat dangerous. From my observations, sparkelrs burn much faster when grouped together. If a normal sparker takes 60 seconds to burn, 1,000 of them might take 6 seconds to mostly burn. This [...]

Kids on the other hand are using their imagination (at least should be), and don’t really care how pixel-perfect it is. My theory was verified when 5 minutes after taking this photo, Ezra flew [...]

Some time ago, Eli asked me to build a toy shotgun. We wanted something that would give a real “bang”, but be simple and safe.
