How to Build a Flamethrower Ukulele

Pictured below is Coma-Doof Warrior, a character in the movie Mad Max: Fury Road. He's noted for his fire-spitting guitar and wearing his dead mother's face as a mask.

Naturally, Make contributor Caleb Kraft wants a flamethrowing musical instrument. But he prefers the ukulele to the guitar, and so built one. You can watch a step-by-step video describing how to make your own here.

Kraft notes that his design could be scaled up to a guitar or any other stringed instrument. I suggest going all the way with a flamethrower octobasse, which is a 12-foot tall fiddle.

Its the first version of the modern fingernail clipper. It worked but needed lots of adjustments, but it cut all your fingernails at once. The toenail clipper design never worked well though.

It's a really old-fashioned individual hot-dog cooker. Once the dogs are done, they get cut into bite sized pieces (for maximum deliciousness).

This is one of the earliest examples of mass production being applied to the Jewish Bris - or ritual male circumcision! Why, with one of these devices you could circumcise up to thirteen lads at one time and save money to boot! Such a deal!

While everyone knows George Washington had wooden false teeth, very few know that this machine was the one he used to actually make them. Teeth could be stamped out in varying sizes ranging from "Polite conversation and cucumber sandwiches" (on the left) to "Gonna have me a 7lb Bison steak" (around the middle) to his political battle-teeth "Let's play a game called "Bite Me"... I'll start!" (on the right). By mixing up a set of completely mis-matched teeth, he was also able to confuse the hell out of the British by shouting out random Austin Powers quotes during battle.
