DIY Hovercraft

This looks like something fun you can build for/with your dad on Father's Day weekend: Adam Savage of Mythbusters built his own hovercraft out of plywood, leaf blower, shower curtain, duct tape (of course), and my favorite part, lawn chair!

Wired's GeekDad has the instructions: Link

For the rest of us who don't know the difference between a drill and a hammer, there's always the easy way out: Father's Day gifts from the NeatoShop

I can't speak for coders, but crafting has all kinds of benefits for people in general. The flexibility practice referred to in the article would be beneficial in other realms. Plus you learn patience, perseverance, goal setting, how to follow directions, and how small parts can add up to more than their sum. Crafting builds fine motor skills. And then there's the joy of creating something, which may lead to more creativity.
