back my name is Nate and I want to thank
you for joining me today on the king of
random today we’re going to show you how
to take a project that we’ve done before
and ramp it up to the next level in a
previous video we showed you how to make
a matchbook rocket-launching kit so now
we’re gonna take what you learned in
that video and step it up to the next
level using simple parts to build a
revolver that can shoot six rockets in a
row now the previous video showing how
to make an entire rocket launch pad was
actually the first video I ever saw on
the king of random so I’m really excited
to show you how to take these little
rockets and turn it into something
bigger there’s two parts to this build
and the first part is making the rocket
themselves to make the rockets we need
aluminum foil aluminum tape a box of
matches and a couple of bamboo skewers
the second part of the build is the
revolver itself and for that all you’re
going to need is some cardboard from a
cereal box of your choice some more
bamboo skewers a barbecue lighter and
some small zip ties the previous
matchbox Rockets video explains in a lot
of detail how to make these little
Rockets but we’re just going to go over
the process really quick for you right
now using the provided pattern cut the
five sided shape out of aluminum foil
the previous video shows how you can use
paper towel or toilet paper to cut out
several of these shapes at once which is
what we’re going to want to do since we
have several rockets to launch if you
don’t include the layers of toilet paper
or a paper towel between the foil the
edges will curl together and you won’t
be able to separate your different
pieces of foil
[Music]
the provided pattern shows how far the
bamboo skewers should be rolled into the
foil rocket
[Music]
update guys we have a bunch of our foil
Rockets made and we’re ready to start
building the revolver to launch them off
the first thing you need to do is cut a
flat piece of cardboard out of your
cereal box the next step is to figure
out what size of circle to cut out of
the cardboard for our revolver on Maya
barbecue lighter you can see that the
flame is a little under 1 inch high
after measuring your flame measure that
same distance from either side of your
barbecue lighter this measurement will
give you a good estimate for the spacing
of your six rocket revolver launch rods
we’re going to want to trace out two
sizes of circles the first is the size
of the measurement you just took and the
other one should be 1/4 to 3/8 of an
inch larger in diameter the best way to
do that is with a compass if you don’t
have a compass there are several
household items you can use to trace
like a cup a roll of tape or the lid to
a spray can you’ll want to take the
diameter of the measurement and draw two
circles that size now we’ll extend our
compass by about an eighth of an inch
and draw a second circle around each of
our first circles now we’ll show you a
trick to get six equally spaced points
around your circle so that your
rocket-launch rods will be equally
spaced using the measurement of the
radius of your first circle place the
point of the compass on the edge of the
circle mark where your pencil touches
the line of your drawn circle as well as
the point where your compass was using a
drill bit the same size of your barbecue
lighter you want to drill a hole in the
center of each of your cardboard circles
with my barbecue lighter I’m using a 3/8
inch bit
next using a drill bit the same size as
your bamboo skewers drill out each of
the six points around a circle I find
that a 1/8 inch fit is just the right
size if the edges of the holes are a
little bit ragged once you’ve drilled
them just go over them with a little bit
of sandpaper once you’ve got all of your
holes drilled you’re ready to cut out
your circles next find six bamboo
skewers that are pretty straight at
least on the top half term all of the
bamboo skewers about halfway down the
tapered point and then lightly sand the
top two inches
[Music]
we’ve got all of our parts ready and
it’s time to start assembling but you
know that here at the king of random we
like to decorate and now is the time to
do that
[Music]
oK we’ve decorated all of our pieces now
let’s put it all together start pushing
your bamboo skewers through the holes
that you drilled in both pieces of
cardboard try to be sure that the tips
of the bamboo all reach the same length
in front of the cardboard and that the
two pieces of cardboard are parallel to
each other before we permanently attach
the skewers to the cardboard we want to
make sure the whole mechanism is
properly aligned to make sure that the
extra bits of the bamboo skewer aren’t
hitting the handle of your lighter while
you’re doing the alignment clip
everything off about a quarter inch
behind the back piece of cardboard once
you have all of your bamboo skewers
inserted and properly aligned secure
them in place with a few drops of
superglue once the glue has dried your
rocker revolver is almost finished and
there’s just a couple more details we
need to add you want to move your
revolver apparatus to where the points
of the bamboo skewers lines up with the
tip of the flame attach a zip tie to the
barbecue lighter tighten it most of the
way and move it forward until it is
pressing against the cardboard circle
attach a second zip tie right behind it
facing the other direction screw the
revolver apparatus up to the front of
the barbecue lighter so you can really
cinch the zip ties as tight as they will
go add one more zip tie to the front of
the barbecue lighter press it up against
the cardboard and cinch it tight clip
the front zip tie as close to the
locking mechanism as you can get on the
back zip ties you’ll want to cut one of
them about one millimeter above the
level of the bamboo skewer and one of
them halfway down the bamboo skewer a
couple drops of superglue will secure
the two zip ties together and
permanently attach them to the barbecue
lighter the to cut zip ties work as a
locking mechanism to keep your revolver
in place as you switch from one shot to
the next and now your rocket revolver is
complete and ready to use let’s load up
those Rockets we made before and fire
them off now while Nate’s getting that
set up let’s take a second to talk about
audible so audible is an app that I have
on my phone it’s one that I use all the

[Music]
alright guys and here it is all put
together the rocket revolver we’ve got
six rockets loaded onto the front we can
rotate from one to the next and launch
them off one after another let’s test
out with this bad boy can do
[Music]
there you have it guys that’s how to
take the matchbox rockets from a
previous video and amp it up to the next
level so you have your very own rocket
revolver using this revolver you can
shoot off six rockets in a row which is
a lot more firepower this is a fun build
that you can do in not very much time
that takes rocketry to a much more
mobile level check the link in the
description below for the template for
these rockets and start launching thanks
for joining me in this project and I
look forward to the next one talk to you
then this is audible hey guys just a
quick reminder to drop down to the
description click the link for
audible.com slash the king of random
really is a great service I use it my
wife uses it my brother-in-law uses it
pretty much everyone I know uses it and
I think you’ll like it too too much tape
I’m very fast draw I have very slow
boards
