DIY Ping-Pong Guns
Ping!... Pong! ... Pop! Right in the kisser, Cornelius, courtesy of my new Ping-Pong Gun. My new Ping-Pong Gun that I milled, all by myself on a CNC machine, from Andriy Goroshko's vector plan drawings.
Haha, yeah, I know, Cornelius. The only thing I could mill on a CNC machine is a hand with 3 fingers. My own.
Through his Etsy shop, Wooden Arm, Goroshko sells instant downloads of the files you'll need to build an array of plywood blasters whose preferred ammo is the bullet of table tennis. The Ping-Pong Guns come with dxf format drawings for laser and milling CNC machines, plus a PDF of Goroshko's step-by-step assembly guide. His Ping-Pong Guns use 6mm plywood, but if you prefer to use a different thickness (between 5.5mm and 6.5mm) he can modify the CNC files to suit you.
DIY Ping-Pong Gun assembly also requires springs, rubber bands, and wood glue.

Floating Ping-Pong Table
Runaway ping-pong balls from a ping-pong table floating in water: less annoying or more annoying to chase after? Also, playing ping-pong in water: harder or easier? Only one way to find out, I guess. I'll bring the Poolmaster...

Pongo Portable Ping-Pong Set
Ping-pong on the go? The sentiment collapses way down to Pongo, just like the portable table tennis set itself. Pongo's net, paddles, and white whacking balls retract and condense into a 7" x 7" x 6" pouch for transport...
