So begins the preparation of the flame thrower. I've cut PVC pipe and fixed a special nozzle to one end to mimic the way the actual flamethrower looks. Using a hacksaw, I've cut the pipe short and created the "trigger" using (ingeniously) the handle to a caulk gun. With some elbow grease and some patience, i actually sawed off the metal "hammock" that supports a tube of caulk in a caulk gun. It fits perfectly to the end of the pipe, now I just need to tape it down before painting. The same saw was used to cut the tubing that will connect the gun to the tanks, made from washing machine tubing. Later, when everything is cut, this very same saw will be destroyed, and it's handle will be used as the "front" handle to the gun (while the back handle houses the trigger). I don't waste ANY parts. So far, total cost is $40. I bought army green spray paint for it. A little worried about making the tanks look good, though.

My hands are covered in metal filings and it's during times like these when I feel my most manly.

Bought Sabin's pants and shirt today, tomorrow will be picking up pants for Bard and wrist bands for sabin, taking the boots to the shoe repairer, trying to hunt down fake hair for a pony tail, and trying to find an apron. Sabin's shoes are still a mystery, too.

Preparing to bite nails. Biting.
