For Christmas last year, Brady received the parts he needed to assemble a "spud gun", an idea he got from his father. Just recently "the boys" had a chance to put it together and put it to the test.
Here we have the stud and his spud!
The gun is made from PCV pipe with a lighter stuck in the side. You can't see the lighter in this pic, but it's the kind you light your gas grill with.
It's always good to have a few spectators before getting started!
Next, shove a potato into the gun.
Force it down with a crow bar.
Next, spray hairspray into the bottom end, then quickly replace the bottom lid. One click of the lighter and the spud shoots out with a loud POP! It helps to have six siblings running around the yard retrieving the spuds once they land, and hopefully that's not in the neighbor's yard!
