    Rocketman

    A friend gave me a magazine titled Make. It's a type of DIY of inventive genious for things you can make. A very incredible magazine. Their site is: Http://www.makezine.com

    I've got Vol. #5 and in their toolbox section is an article about the BT3100. I also ran across this incredible guy that has rocket powered just about everything. Quite a story:

    A very cool site and the magazine was extremely interesting.

          The coolest thing there was the rocket powered sled. I wonder if he has any rocket powered woodworking tools?

                  No rocket powered table saw, I'm disapointed.

                  I've read a few, they are pretty good.

                      When I was 14 I taped a D cell Estes rocket engine to my model batmobile. Does that count? Did that sucker ever go!

                          I pass by Rocketman's house on my way to and back from work. Every now and then he'll have some creation parked in front; most common is a rocket dragster.
