awwww we got a mention :)

great job on the editing, looking forward to seeing some damage for this thing.

I like the way "the mechanic" is analogous to "the stig" from top gear :D

The clear panel covering the chamber is a little overkill unless you actually intented to blow it up, but hey :)

Well done. Loved the video editing. When you become big, be aware that using photos off the web may be considered a copyright violation by sue happy folks. To alleviate that issue with my avitar, I approve the use of it in your video. Permission is granted to use it in this fashion.

Should have gone with the 2 inch valve to up the ante.

hahah thanks a lot guys, thanks technician on the use of the avatar. Yeah the clear plexy is from when we used the old cannon the combustion. We figured if it blew up on explosion that would deflect some shards of pvc away from the one igniting. so now it actually is useless, since we layered the thick rubber around the chamber. I hope the show takes off, and i'm very glad you guys all liked it and if it wasn't for this site i would of never come across the modified sprinkler valves or anything like what this site has to offer.

I'm off to finish editing the episode for tomorrows release...

You'd have to askthis guy for use of avatar, but hey, I didn't :D

One thing I would definitely recommend giving the nature of your show is making provision for bigger and smaller bore barrels, should you for example wish to shoot a melon at a potato ;)

You should also look out for a cheap strong sabot material, to allow unusual objects to be shot. Here's a thought, think of thelegendary indestructability of the Nokia 3310- you could load one of those up and shoot it at something, that will help generate some popular interest.

that was my first cell phone.. hahahaha i know i don't have it anymore. I didnt' know how strong that phone was hahahaha. Well i do have some old htc tilts and others. If anybody would like to donate one of those phones i would gladly pay for shipping.

Also i wanted to say that the first episode will be good, but not great, meaning there is better episodes after this one. I just thought it would be a good start to the show. Also one of my favorite show is top shot. We will be doing top shot style competitions with the cannon down the road so any ideas you guys have would be awesome..

very cool of you to credit some of our members!

I'd keep it all here and edit the topic to The Spud Destruction Show Thread or something like that.

If that is okay with mrCroly...I mean Crowley.
:D
