Another super hot DIY project:
Mad Max Doof Warrior Inspired Flamethrower Ukulele
Via Jim

from the page

The inspiration for this project was the Doof Warrior’s flamethrower guitar from Mad Max. Nothing says rock-n-roll more than actual fire entwined with your tunes! I didn’t want to try to replicate exactly what he had, and I also wanted to scale things down to be marginally safer. This version can be built from hardware store parts in a very short amount of time.

  1. Donna,

    By the way, you might want to include a “NSFW warning” for that first link you posted.  The one about the “wimmen’s comix” series.  Its rather interesting, but it includes some nudity and sexual content, that isn’t appropriate for some audiences.
