Jedwards, read my reply in the MB2 topic.

As I said there, 99% of the time, people do not have step by step guides.

Several people have already asked for the plans - as you should have seen.
Novacastrian: How about use whatever the heck you can get your hands on?
frankrede: Well then I guess it won't matter when you decide to drink bleach because your out of kool-aid.
...I'm sorry, but that made my year.

DO YOU LIKE IT WHEN PEOPLE TYPE ALL CAPS MESSAGES AT YOU?
ITS ANNOYING AS HELL AND MAKES ME WANT TO YELL AT YOU!
serously, read the rules.
in the upcoming presidential election, there will be several candidates who will be running, one of whom is Hillary Clinton. Now WAIT A SECOND!!! I though there was some sort of rule that prevented someone from serving more than two terms in office. Vote Against Hillary: Presidential Elections 08

Listen... I found plans to build spudguns back when I started. You know how? I searched! It's not hard at all.

Everything you need is right there in front of you if you look hard enough. After that, if you still can't figure it out, go find a new hobby.

Errrm. Perhaps this is not the time, place or topic.

If that's your problem, try considering English and American English to be different languages that share a common base.

Would you get pissed at a Frenchman who referred to it by a different word? Or a German?

I think not - just because someone uses a different word, it's not for you to say it's wrong.

I seriously doubt Mushyfung (the designer and builder of this cannon) said that. I've not seen him on ever.

Anyone whos been around here for oh... a week? could tell you it's a diaphragm coaxile cannon. Thats all anyone needs to know to build an identical cannon.

:lol: it just makes me laugh when people ask for planes, all is is is a piece of 2 inch pipe (i think) with a male adapter on one end and a female on the other, barrel with female adaptor and blow gun with male adapter.
trying to decide on a new project, probably something small.
