How to Make a Craft Stick Crossbow

Have you seen this book before?

 

You should totally check it out. Well, there are three books in the series so far, and they are all awesome. The supplies are all things that you can find around your house, and the projects use lots of science. Because I'm building the mini weapons, I learn the science behind how everything works.

I built a catapult from book 1, but my dad was playing with it and he broke it. :(

 



My dad and I made a cross-bow following the instructions in book 3, and it turned out great. There were some parts of the process that my dad had to help with. Check out my video:

 



Just like John Austin says on his website, be safe when playing with your mini-weapons. I shot it off in the house (with my parent's permission), and this happened:

Imagine if that was your friend. That wouldn't be good. Always play it safe and make sure that a parent is supervising.

Minecraft Haunted House

Happy Halloween!

This week, I made a haunted house and graveyard in Minecraft PE. Check it out:

Minecraft Bowling Alley

Hi everyone! Today is another addition to Minecraft Monday! I wanted to make a bowling alley in Minecraft because I was inspired by ACtennisAC. I used redstone to make working pins.

Check out the video:

If I make the shot with the bowling ball, an arrow shoots at my face, and then I get knocked off the pressure plate which makes the "pin" go down. Luckily, this is in Minecraft, and not real life, because that would be a crazy way to bowl. ;)

Minecraft Pirate Ship

Hi everyone! It's Minecraft Monday! So I decided to build something special just for you guys. I built a Minecraft pirate ship. It has working cannons, hidden chests, a plank, an anchor, a cabin, barrels of rum, and even a crow's nest. I wrote a story about me destroying the Kraken, and I'll share that in another blog post.

Take a quick tour of my Minecraft Pirate Ship:

I spent most of my weekend building the ship. The hardest part was building the ship itself, and the sails were also challenging. I really enjoyed making the rapid-fire cannons. 

Lego Minecraft Stop Motion

Hi guys! It's Minecraft Monday again. But today is not about a normal Minecraft video. This one is a stop motion video made with Lego. 

I had a lot of fun making the set for this video and also gathering sound effects from Minecraft.  Now that we have a Lego Minecraft world, you'll be seeing more stop-motion videos from me.

Enjoy!

LEGO Creator Review: Set 31012

We have a Lego City in our basement, and I'll be sharing much more about the city in future posts. Today I made a quick video review of the newest house that we added to our city:

Minecraft: My Amusement Park

It's Minecraft Monday!
 
Yesterday I uploaded a short video to show you my Minecraft Amusement Park.

I started by making my first roller coaster, then got more advanced. My first roller coaster was the Roller Coaster Of Death I. I used red wool with rails on top to make the roller coaster. But of course, Minecraft carts have weight, so you need powered rails with redstone torches underneath the red wool.

After making my roller coaster, I made some mini games like the ball throw and the mirror maze. I got the idea of making an amusement park by watching people play on the super popular Minecraft map Fun Land. Even my funny looking enderman observatory was an idea I got from Fun Land.

 

If you see anything in my amusement park that you'd like to know more about, or how to make it, just leave me a comment and I'll let you know.

My First Blog Post

Hi there, everyone!

I love to create things whether it's on paper, canvas, or technology, and I'm going to be sharing these things with you!

I love playing video games, making art, and reading. We also have a Lego City in our basement, and I'll share our buildings with you. I'm also interested in stop motion videos, so don't be surprised if you see some of those.

I will share my creations with you via this blog.Yesterday I posted my first YouTube video, which was just me practicing speaking clearly for my videos, but still, check it out:

I look forward to sharing much more with you!
