rockets in trees, tim in the toolbox!

Remember last fall when I talked you all into building a rocket camera from MAKE Magazine?

In celebration of Tim’s cards being featured* in Issue #10 of MAKE Magazine’s Toolbox column, I decided to post our launches online.

Keep in mind that there is no sound on these recordings (not intentional, the camera hack was quite sketchy, combined with the part where the rocket burst into flames…something happened.) Ahhh, memories. The adventure did not disappoint – from the part where Tim and Mikey were stranded in a soybean field for several hours, to my roommate Davy and I throwing basketballs at the rocket until 3 a.m. after the rocket got tangled in a tree.

But wasn’t that fun?!? Yay MAKE magazine, and yay SappyCards! Let’s make something from MAKE Issue #10 at next craft night!!

Launch #1: Random Soybean Field
Launch #2: Wheeler Park Explosion

    Congrats, Tim! That’s awesome. I, too, *heart* your cards. Neighborly shameless promotion is the best.

    Indeed! Effective little cards, too! I once landed a summer fling after sending one of Tim’s cards. Love thy neighbor, folks.

    Hello, bluish barn kids,

    I’m in need of a typewriter to type on origami paper for a project I’m finishing up. I wonder if any craft night denizens have one they would be willing to bring and share.

    Thanks!
