red neck inventions

[all thumbs]

I'll start , I invented the paint mixer way before I seen them for sale. Cut off the handle to one of mrs. thumbs mixing spoons and put it in a drill. ....... A guy at work made a pool heater from a cast iron radiator. Set it over a fire and circulated water through it.

I had an uncle that did a similar thing with a radiator. Only it was used to make moonshine.

I made a shredder that consists of a lawnmower engine, mounted on top of a 55 gallon drum, with a blade spinning inside the drum and a pipe to shove random stuff into the spinning blade. I also made a pool heater with about 300' of black sprinkler tubing laid out in the sun.

Hey Chris this is off topic but I've visited your neck of the woods. Some genius planned a "wine tasteing and boomerang throwing tour". Needless to say how that went. Watching wallabees when your from New Hampshire was fun especially after a few drinks.

Re: red neck inventions

About 45 yrs ago, when cops still road bikes and you could leave your own bike with the lock off I got interested in making my own boomerang. Dad got interested when he saw the prototype (2' made of multiplex, not the sissy-things we saw before). We launched it at a park...no practise throwing..... it went high and around a bush. Then a heavy klunk. Ten seconds later there comes this cop with our confiscated boomerang. It had landed in the spokes of his frontwheel while he was on the move. He was still figuring out whether this was a deadly weapon or not and didn't know exactly WHAT it was. So we showed him how to launch. After that he really confiscated it but was nice enough to let us off the hook without a fine. AND WE WERE NOT DRUNK!!<br />Frank
