Cracker/Bulberator Design Mk II
Cracker Mark 1: Elbow
http://www.megaupload.com/?d=HS92WZYV
My original design, easy to build, requires only 3 parts, a nail and some string. When using, this design feels much sturdier than the other one and doesnt get as cold.

I'm planning on nanging at an upcoming festival, so i wanted to make it a bit more compact & easier to conceal. I'd had some ritalin for an exam (that stuff works magic btw) and was desperate to do something productive so i did a redesign. This cracker is slightly trickier to build requiring 4 parts and some skill to get the screw to tap straight. This design is also more compact and is less likely to tear balloons and includes a change from nail to screw as the piercer (some were worried about the nail not being secure enough). And to be clear, the screw WILL need to be further secured (some epoxy sooper dooper glue) as the action of screwing the nang in works to unscrew the screw. This design will also get colder than Mark 1, i usually wrap my shirt, jumper around it.
Both can be made for under $10 with everything coming from bunnings.
If theres anything that is unclear or should be mentioned/explained, let me know, i'd love some feedback.
