YOU'RE MAKING a...MacGyver | |
|---|---|
| No pine cones here. Your task is to recreate the legend that is Angus MacGyver and escape an impossible situation. Let's say you have to find a way to get a crate full of fake explosives, that weighs 5kg, safely across a 3m gap. Throwing is not allowed as that would cause the crate to explode. Set up two lines that are 3m apart and get to work on either a bridge, pulley, zip line... the list is endless. Even better if you can do this inside a couple of hours. Extra kudos for having a mullet. |
OUT OF...Pipe | |
|---|---|
| It can come in the form of poly pipe, PVC pipe for trunking/guttering or copper pipe for plumping (copper pipe is sexy), it's your call. |
USING...Your choice | |
|---|---|
| Wow, you've got carte blanche to use whatever tools you please, how very generous! |

Further info
Most of these project ideas and options have been selected to be as accessible as possible to a wide range of people. They should be considered as starting points for your own ideas and plans to be developed from and are intentionally ‘open’ so that different makers will create different designs whilst overcoming the challenges of the material and tool restrictions that have been chosen for them.
Depending on the limitations of someone’s workshop the generated project might not always be suitable, so if that happens you can just generate another.
The above doesn’t limit you from sanding, adding polish or finishes, and above all else, make sure that however you’re working on a project that you do so safely and with supervision or help where necessary.
Top thing to remember, have fun with this. Be inventive, share the challenges you faced and also let everyone see what you created.
