when i made my first mini i had 2 problems.

problem one i got shocked almost every other time i used it, that was with pvc not copper.

problem two: i put to much fuel in it almost everytime.

i see that your using a wooden handle, im sure that helps a llot with problem one. but what about fueling it? do u use a premeasured amount or do you just guess at it and eventually get a hang of it?

truly a beautiful gun!

Uh huh, and while you're at it, add a mini reactor to convert air into propane. Hell, it has all the elements necesarry just not enough energy to make the reaction.

But honestly, what's the point of concealing it in a pencil case? I hope he doesn't plan on taking it to a school or something. I don't know about Canada, but here brining anything that even remotely resmebles a weapon calls fo immediate expulsion and maybe legal action (at least my school).

Id try spelling and grammer before the world. Not saying mines always perfect, but I always have to re-read your posts Shandora.
