Got Bored so I made some Rocket Launchers

[dapooltec]

I got bored this weekend since the boat has been down waiting a week now for a new fuel pump. I have also been waiting three weeks for my mailed renewed Mex. lisc. Before we left on our last trip I strapped on 4 home made rocket launchers with PVC and hose clamps.


They worked good but looked like shit,(not that I care). So I get the idea of making something better. Hey I know I have some Stainless steel tubing,(old pool rails), laying around.

Cut them down to 8 1/2"

Clean the sharp edges gotta hate SS

Drill the holes.

A home made rocket launcher

Made six of these things.

How nice to go from 4 to 10 launchers. A good start

Total project cost. $3.00 I only had to buy a few Stainless bolts and nuts.
PS if anybody wants to make these and wants some of this tubing free pm me and I'll see how we can get some to you.

I have made some myself, Just a tech tip. If you take a 1 1/2" flare tool for copper, stick it in the end, hit it with a sledge hammer,opens the mouth up real nice rods slip right in.

Way to go.the galv pipe clamps wont live very long you know.the only ss pipe clamps i've seen are very skinny.SS is tough to work with.
