my own wooden coaster out of matches!

Sweet. I'm gonna try to make one now! That would be sweet if you could bey a small chain for it and made it actually work!

Wow ish, you have started everybody on a new project.

Next week I tink I'll build myself a launched coaster using K'nex and a rubber band. I'm using my foam pipe insulation for track. I might get pictures of it, but I don't know if I will have access to the digital camera.

Some new (old) pictures. The first crossover is almost done, but I still try to find a good way to make the lift at the same agle at all time. If someone has a good idea, let me know!

Its looks awsome . . .Like someone said you got everyone on a new project i think i'd like to make one my self just to say like i made one . . .is there gonna be like track or just supports???

Excellent work, i couldnt do this as my dog would get hungry and eat it!

Awesome. I started making one out of popsickle sticks. It is about 5 inches high and is just going up right now.

Ish, make the height of the sticks and the length of the sticks the same, and you should have a 45* angle. It works with K'nex any way...

Im making one to lol but how do u make the track on top onf the supports?

hey ish, how's you "coaster" going on? not really any update given lately [:D]

Sorry, I had no time to make any progress, plus my computer is down right now (I have to wait till my new mainbord arrives)...BUT, next week holidays start and then I'll be able to continue working. I'm not sure how I'll make the track but I'll find a way to get it done, that's for sure!

I cant wait to some new pics since im really facinated about this project and want to see the final touches

no offence mine looks a little nicer im using a hot glue gun ( i already burned my self ill post pics when i get a little more stuff done

Track would be hard ish, I don't know what you could do. I don't know aobut the flexibity of matches, and I doubt water would help any.

Im making a steel one

well on mine im using balsa wood so it is realy flexible im posting pics now!!!

hey ish, did you stop working on it or is your coaster burned down now because of halloween?

Hmmm, it's still in progress, but VERY slow. I had to learn for three test and I don't feel like building with matches at the moment. I'll return to it whenever I feel like I want to build something out of matches[;)]. Like I said, this could takes one to two years...so be patient!

hey are you still workin on this or am i the only one please say no

No, I'm still working on this, I'll do some more stuff whenever I feel like it. And, no offence, but I think your model looks a bit thick and the hot glue also doesn't look nice in some places, because uyou used a bit much.

yea im working on remelting it so it dosent look like that and i have to clean out the track its full of hot glue strands

wow that coaster looks nice ish!!![:D][:D] i know i would get bored and quit and then burn it down if i tried it(like some other idiots on this site would) i would also most likely get kinda confused[confused]

I made a Incredible Hulk model in 6th grade out of dowels, a decorated pringles can, popcicle stix, clothes hangers, and hot glue.
it turned out pretty good i think.

HEY ISH ANYMORE PICS ON YOUR PROJECT
