"I can build a gun from a radio antenna, a block of wood, a nail, a rubber band, black tape, and a cloths pin. A .22 cal bullet just fits. We called them zip guns when we were kids."

Hey!

You are an "old fart"!

Me too!

I suppose you made a belt buckle with the fender emblem from a Ford V8 too? ;)

Nope. Nothing "Ford" allowed around our place. My dad was an Oldsmobile man. I did however make a scooter out of a strap-on skate and the wood from a beer case...

When it broke I invented the first skateboard. That was in 1958, way ahead of the craze. I got no credit of course.

As far as the "old fart" comment-- I guess I'll ignore it, my age is top secret! (over 50 under 100)
