It came out of some garden tool for bug spray, I think.

Don't use Kerosene, and for *Can'tSayThisOnTV*'s sake do NOT use gasoline.
Gasoline will eat through your hose and pretty much EVERYTHING ELSE NOT METAL and you will catch your ass on FIRE.
Kerosene is nasty flax, it probably won't rape your hoses (like gas WILL), but you don't wanna be around that flax in general, the fumes are gigantic dicks waiting to rape your skin and eyes.
And mouth.
And nose.
And everything else you love.
Denatured Alcohol.
Any hardware store.
Relatively safe, you don't have to worry about getting on yourself.
Just don't breath the flax and you'll be fine.
It'll still burn like a mother*Can'tSayThisOnTV*er too, and will do great in your application.

I built a catapult out of popsicle sticks. Originally it was a spoon catapult, but I found the spoon-holding mechanism created more tension than the spoon. I swapped the spoon for another popsicle stick and it works better now. TODO: add some sort of cup to the stick. For mark two, I plan on putting a weighted base on it, making it look nicer, better angle on the arm, and a release mechanism.
In the very bottom right-hand corner you might be able to make out the top edge of a hand-wound toroid. That's part of my next little project.

Fixed some kid's RRoD, 12v fan modded, and added a 3rd fan from a GC, all for $30 in 30 minutes.

So it's not really an afternoon project, because it wasn't done in the afternoon and it wasn't done it one day. It also wasn;t even done at my house, I made this in school. It's a tradition for the seniors of my school to make reindeer out of hands and feet and so I was like "lol okay" so I got some paper and I put my foot on it only to realize that my foot was bigger than a regular sheet of construction paper.
I was like "lolwut, FFFFFUUUUU"
Also, I wasn't the only one, half of the guys in my class were like "lolwut, FFFFFUUUUU"
But instead of taking the traditional route of using two pieces of paper, I was like "*Can'tSayThisOnTV* this flax" and so I made Mr. Popo!
