5 dangerous things all kids should do!!

[timh]

I got the book in the mail yesterday. :wings: I guess I'll have to wait a few months before we conduct the "Make a bomb" portion, since Lucas is only 6 months old.

Make a bomb:Wow1: awesome, but wouldn't that make your kid a terrorist these days?:ylsmoke:


I think I might need to order the book, I would love to help my daughter get into a little trouble when she is a little older.

By the Fed Govt's standards, yes. But no one cares about that, all the cool kids are into pipebombs these days. Which I didn't make until I was 14, I guess I was a little behind my peers.

I never did make a bomb. Not sure why, just never wound up doing it.

I let my boy stay in the garage last night while I did some work. I wonder if I'll scar him for life. "Don't ever touch this angle grinder. It'll cut your arm right off! Never never touch this, it's SUPER danger!" "Not even mommies can touch it, only daddies?" "That's right not even mommies."

So, safety glasses and ear muffs and standing 10 feet back, he got to watch.

Then with the welder "it shoots lightning out of the end, never touch this, it's SUPER danger!" He didn't see much because he had to stand behind me on the other side of the garage so he couldn't see the arc.

But when it came time to grind the 2% Thoriated Tungsten electrode (radioactive) I sent him inside. I guess I take chances with that stuff myself, but not him.

Got the book in the mail today. :victory:

We already skimmed through to see what my boy ha already done. Plan is to complete all 50 before end of summer. :ylsmoke:

First one is shock yourself with 9volt battery- he wasn't excited about that and lucked out that the one in the drawer was dead. I am looking for a good one now- will be a nice morning wake up. :hehe:

 

[R_Lefebvre]

That's even in there? I do that all the time on my tongue to test if they're dead or not. Do they suggest to do it on your tongue, or wetted finger? Maybe that's a good safe way to teach him about electricity.

The book's pretty good, I have only skimmed over it due to being in the middle of another good read. I think everyone, young or old should make atleast one pipebomb in their life. Start out with black powder since you don't get as big of a BOOM, due to the slower burn rate. This is how I ended up making bombs when I was a kid, my older brother was given a muzzle loader. :wings:

I think pipe bombs is one thing my son and I will skip for sure.

And let's not forget. According to the US government, any bomb containing more than 4 ounces of explosive is a Weapon of Mass Destruction. Sure to get you some time in jail.

(1) Any explosive, incendiary, poison gas, bomb, grenade, or rocket having a propellant charge of more than four ounces [113 g], missile having an explosive or incendiary charge of more than one-quarter ounce [7 g], or mine or device similar to the above. (2) Poison gas. (3) Any weapon involving a disease organism. (4) Any weapon that is designed to release radiation at a level dangerous to human life.

Growing up, we couldn't buy fireworks. So we filled spent CO₂ cartridges with black powder...

From skimminy the book the other day I believe the 'bomb' is a dry ice bomb not a pipe bomb. Book is 'things you should let your kids do' not 'hey dumba$$ do this and get arrested'.


I played with gunpowder when I was a kid but since I am not into reloading my son has had very little experience with it. We did light off .22 shells last time we went shooting though. He thought that was pretty cool.
