When your grandson asks you nicely to make something, what do you do? I make him repeat it to camera so I can include it in the video :-) If you have a question it is probably worth reading this video description first because the answer may already be here. To help you find my videos I made two search guides https://youtu.be/ceBSOoOHcgw or https://youtu.be/Zj4UgwkwYRk or checkout my playlists page https://www.youtube.com/user/GrandadIsAnOldMan/playlists?flow=grid&view=1 Safety note:- I use a soldering iron to melt holes in the plastic bottle, please be aware this causes dangerous fumes so ensure you have good ventilation if you copy me. Main components - Small pop bottle 4 CDs/DVDs 8 plastic bottle tops 2 bbq sticks rubber bands hot glue Main Tools - Hot Glue Gun Soldering Iron to melt holes in the bottle.

To find them follow my search guides https://youtu.be/ceBSOoOHcgw or https://youtu.be/Zj4UgwkwYRk or see my playlists page https://www.youtube.com/user/GrandadIsAnOldMan/playlists?flow=grid&view=1 Generally my projects are for my grandchildren to enjoy. OK, I enjoy them too. If anybody else likes them, that is a bonus. I like to keep my work as simple and basic as possible so that it can be copied easily and improved by anybody who wants to try themselves. I recycle or repurpose items rather than buy new and when I do buy I like to keep it cheap. https://www.youtube.com/user/GrandadIsAnOldMan
