In this episode I use a "Nasal Hair Removal Kit" as the power source for a tricycle. This is the fourth episode in my new project series where I will buy an item from my local bargain stores for £1 or less and use it to make something it was not designed for, preferably a toy that my grandchildren could potentially play with.

Remember, these bargain stores also sell plenty of toys for £1 or less so the project is not about making a cheap toy, it is about taking something and 'hacking' or 'repurposing' it to do something other than what it was designed to do. I am using bargain store products to limit my initial outlay.

The other components are:
Polystyrene pizza trays
Wooden barbecue skewer
Rubber bands

Tools
-
Hot Glue Gun
Hobby knife
Hobby saw

In the video I mention the Flite Test guys who make model planes from foam and use hot glue for just about everything. They have a handy video on hot glue tips here
