After all, when it comes to welding, building, modding and wiring brainstorms into reality, who does it better than Popular Mechanics readers?

- Kyan, on 07/15/2008, -0/+2Amen. I like DIY stuff, but bury this because of the miller ad.
- skribble, on 07/15/2008, -0/+1A good reason to keep flash off the iPhone.
- majordannyboy, on 07/15/2008, -0/+2Ad Block Plus... I didn't see a thing!
- kd1s, on 07/15/2008, -0/+1Ad, what ad? I run ABP too and it blots out literally everything. And I've shown it to people and they fall in love with ABP.
Ads are such a pain on the web now.
- webresources, on 07/14/2008, -0/+42nd page the submarine. that looks great.
- MadMonk67, on 07/14/2008, -1/+5This article is lame without better photographs of the items. The bar isn't even seen!
- doctorinfierno, on 07/14/2008, -0/+2Too much time off, some great things built. On a personal note my favorite was "Hands-Free Can Shaker", that guy understands Elaine Benes in ways that are beyond me.
- blinky04, on 07/15/2008, -0/+2I actually didn't think that shaking cans for myself was all too difficult.
More of an inconvenience walking to the can shaker than shaking it yourself.

- holyskeleton, on 07/15/2008, -0/+7what's the point of the slide show if you've got scroll wheels?
- danomagnum, on 07/15/2008, -0/+2$$$
- ZephyrNinety, on 07/15/2008, -1/+1That is the ***** opposite of safe.
- Corr0sive, on 07/15/2008, -0/+6Where is the redneck spider mech??
- koft, on 07/15/2008, -2/+8Fuuuuuck. A slideshow. This is almost as bad as the Forbes *****. click/wait,click/wait, DOM elements with ads covering up the content all over the place. You gotta scroll through ***** to find "next". Buried.
- p1eiades, on 07/15/2008, -0/+1What was so great about the bending car? And 12 pages..please.
- wellyuk, on 07/15/2008, -0/+4I'd view the ***** story if the ***** Miller advert wasn't splashed all over the ***** links without a single ***** close button. What stupid ***** idiot came up with that advert? Where is the ***** close button? Even clicking on the ***** advert doesn't remove it from view. Miller, you're a bunch of ***** imbeciles. Popular Mechnics, you're a bunch of ***** of the highest ***** order.
- opticalnoise, on 07/15/2008, -0/+3Type "Adblock plus" in google. It will change your life. I never saw that ad once :)
- arcooke, on 07/15/2008, -0/+5When I got to #6 (the guy that built the RV/camper thing).. I got sidetracked for about an hour looking at all his other projects. That guy has got some serious talent. This article was worth it just for that..
You can see his other stuff here: http://www.chadsprojects.com - webkami, on 07/15/2008, -2/+3ON TEN PAGES????
I refuse to visit.... - jamie191817, on 07/15/2008, -0/+2That electric bike is pretty cool, the bloke has a website about that bike. I'm also interested in building one. http://www.electricmotion.org/
- borez, on 07/15/2008, -0/+3Dugg for actually building your own RV
- dreesemonkey, on 07/15/2008, -0/+1I've always wanted to build my own go-kart, but probably not with jet engine propulsion. I'd probably just buy a used shifter-kart and call it a day.
- OutsideSupply, on 07/15/2008, -0/+0Wokka Wokka No Jet Engine on my cart please!
- lenninct, on 07/15/2008, -0/+1dugg for jet propelled go kart
- brad3378, on 07/16/2008, -0/+1I'm not so sure that the ATV hunting shack is legal in all 50 states........If it was, why not just hunt from the back of your truck?
- theadvinci, on 08/11/2008, -0/+1Brown submarine, brown submarine... cool
