Plant Light Stand If you aren’t fortunate enough to have a heated greenhouse but still want to start your own plants from seed in the winter, this inexpensive plant light stand will get your plants growing — even in a dark, dungeon-like basement. It’s made primarily from common 2×4 boards, 3/8" plywood, and fluorescent shop lights. A neat feature of this stand is the adjustable height of the lights over the plants. You can easily raise the lights as the plants grow, which keeps the leaves from burning and gives the plants plenty of light for good, healthy growth. This free-standing, 4-shelf plant light stand can hold as many as 8 shop lights and 16 standard-sized 10"×20" plant flats. If you don’t need that much space for growing plants, you can start out with just 2 shop lights over one shelf and easily expand it in the future if you want to grow more.

AMA Glider - Home PVC Pedal Launcher Thanks for the awesome plans and such a great design. Here's some photos showing my version of the launcher. My changes: 1. PVC rails are 5 ft. 2. legs are cut to 44" wide. (Still accommodates a large wingspan and various positions for the rails) 3. installed a return spring on the foot pedal to avoid accidental launches. 4. different tubing attachment design (check out the pictures, only time will tell how well this works) 5.

Jim Walker Military Launcher for Folding Wing A-J Army Interceptor <meta name="description" content="The Jim Walker military catapult launcher used in WWII for the folding wing Army Interceptor" /> When World War II broke out in Europe, Jim Walker began to think of how to use different types of model airplanes to aid in the war effort. At that time he was thinking of large Radio Controlled planes, never dreaming that there was anything in the toy field that would meet army needs. One day in Texas, a colonel who had bought dozens of the toy gliders for his own children, walked into a variety store and picked up a handful of American Junior Aircraft's little Army Interceptor folding wing gliders. "Heck," he said, "these are the babies we want." Consequently an order for 500 of the planes came from the instructor's training headquarters in Texas. This was followed shortly by an order for 1,000 and then one for 5,000. They were used at infantry training centers, anti-aircraft training centers, tank destroyer schools, coast guard artillery schools and naval training stations and by the allies. A special Military Launcher was designed to catapult the Interceptor high into the air.
