I don't have any patent plans

Thanks for the support Paul, I dont have any aspirations to make a ton of money off the idea. I wasnt really trying to sell any but the guy is really enthusiastic and I have needed the motivation to build my new concept. If one of the retailers was willing to buy 10 or 20 of them that would be...

Somebody wants to buy one! I got a guy on the buzz asking to buy one of my APTA devices. I offered to send him the plans but he wants it made so I am going to do my best to send him a pimped out version of the APTA. I am actually kind of excited. Luke @ treestuff mentioned to me that IF i...

ah... sydney. What are the laws for powder actuated tools like this line from Hilti? http://www.hilti.com/holcom/page/module/product/prca_catnavigation.jsf?lang=de&nodeId=-17075 You would really get in trouble for using a compressed air projectile in a professional setting? Thats a drag.

BUMP. Treesmith is building one, but he turned me down on the free ball valve. It is the weekend, I am sure someone wants to build a new toy, remember the ball valve is on me if someone is interested.

Was talking about the air cannon on the buzz and had started to post this and figured I would put it here first. I want to encourage some people to try the air cannon out in a commercial setting. I will ship, at my cost within the 48, a ball valve, the most expensive component; to the first...

Video is up! http://youtu.be/qamzqQkxsqI Regrettably the two outside videos looked really good in 1080 but once compressed to 960 for youtube/ivideo convenience they didnt look as great. Both height tests with the tree outside were well over the tree. This is the first video i have ever...

No, the "Linezooka" reference was completely off the cuff. I just made it up as i was writing the post about competing.. No video yet, it hasn't really stopped raining here and the cannon is still in our bucket truck which is at the shop for repairs. I did pick up some multi colored marking...

If i thought i could Jerry to come to MY jobsite i would give him the damn thing.

I will make a video later this week. Would it be better to try and show it shooting into a tree or maybe just in a parking lot straight up into the air.i do not have any profesional video equipment so i dont know how well i will be able to record a throwbag flying at a million mph. maybe if i...

Hey Jaime, Ive never been to competition but i plan to give it a shot this coming year, weather they allow the Linezooka or not. If you want help building one let me know, you can email me @ bonner1040@gmail.com

Thanks for all the welcomes. My name is Nick.

I agree the Big Shot is pretty cool, but im a tinkerer/improver by nature i guess and maybe i do have a little bit of tim taylor in me as well so i just wanted to make something with a little "more power".

Thats really cool. I like it alot.

Yeah, but since that is an explosion im not sure that it is really legal inside of city limits. On top of that, the one i built out of PVC looked very similar and the PVC weld failed @ 60psi and blew the reducer and barrell out @ a million mph. lastly it takes a piezo ignition. electricity...

How did you weight the arrow? i have been thinking of using a recurve bow so i could lower/control the propulsion force. I have found that with too much force it just goes over the tips of the branches and is impossible to isolate to a crotch.

Thats a good idea about an air pig, i will look into that. Maybe i could sell the plans or ask for a donation to a charity to get them.

Nope sorry. Not Will. My name is Nick and i live in Cleveland.

Well, i will put up some videos and if people are excited about it i might build a couple for people to play with and test. imho i dont know how marketable it is, it is just a robustly built potato gun using air instead of an aerosol explosion.

I was using a cheap thin red line i got, kind of a waxy nylonish line. I have tested it with the thicker yellow slickline stuff, not as high but high enough to handle anything we have here in ohio. My crappy bike pump from home depot only gets it up to around 110psi, the guy at the supply house...
