Scrapheap Challenge

1,784 swgrainger  5.3 years ago

So you're stuck on an island and the only way off is to fly but you can't find an aircraft. Wandering around the island you happen to stumble across a scrap yard and in it you find aluminium tubing, a couple of very large tarpaulins, wood, old motorcycle engines, some automobile parts, a couple of old propellors and three 20 gallon canisters of fuel. What are you going to build?

There's also a TiG welder and box full of tools :)

There's no prizes up for grabs, it's just for fun!
