This is the first 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. In this episode I use a "lint remover" as the power source for a toy car. The other components are: Polystyrene pizza tray Plastic bottle top 4 beer can widgets (google it) or 4 underarm deodorant balls 2 plastic drinking straws 2 wooden barbecue skewers 1 rubber band 1 small piece of cardboard Tools - Hot Glue Gun Hobby knife Hobby saw Related playlists Bargain Store Projects playlist https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLA5a2xPRSrB0ZqYUdxXaQaJdg-cs3dKIi Rubber Band Power playlist https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLA5a2xPRSrB1otXh0w36OwsYIHZznUWp6 Balloon Power playlist https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLA5a2xPRSrB2Vx0gKEqY4p9JBgqZqrHsr Other toy cars playlist https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLA5a2xPRSrB3lGxxzEo_ZDnjnOtIlk50Q Lint Remover projects https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLA5a2xPRSrB1_15KOlHayGztY_PgCRJWY Widget playlist https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLA5a2xPRSrB1g-cle5VS7b6VBZ4Y_WGL5 My Channels GrandadIsAnOldMan https://bit.ly/2T3x6RX GrandadsOtherChannel https://bit.ly/2yW5uYb Put a rubber band on it https://bit.ly/2T3OF4j Number4 https://bit.ly/3cG4fuZ You can help keep my channel running with coffee and cakes at Patreon https://bit.ly/35XFasL If you don't like Patreon, you can use Kofi instead https://bit.ly/3dNusI9 Merchandise on RedBubble https://rdbl.co/2yJv56H Merchandise on Cotton Cart https://bit.ly/2xZymOP Merchandise on Teespring https://bit.ly/2Zby02T Twitter https://bit.ly/3fMUgFN Facebook https://bit.ly/3csbruk Pinterest https://bit.ly/2WTuuXP Instagram https://bit.ly/2WPLa2F Thingiverse https://bit.ly/35WfSem Tinkercad https://bit.ly/2WUrM4q Playlists GrandadIsAnOldMan https://bit.ly/3dI9mdV GrandadsOtherChannel https://youtube.com/@GrandadsOtherChannel/playlists Putarubberbandonit https://youtube.com/@Putarubberbandonit/playlists Number4 https://youtube.com/@Number4GIAOM/playlists I have thousands of videos on YouTube, to find one try my search guides https://youtu.be/ceBSOoOHcgw or https://youtu.be/Zj4UgwkwYRk I am happy for you to show my content as part of your projects or in public settings, as long as you clearly credit GrandadIsAnOldMan.
