It's the perfect project to do with the younger Mungers - there's nothing like building your own weapon (even if it only shoots potatoes).
We've got a good friend with a PhD in engineering, and he's built a number of them with his son (they've also made some pretty impressive Pumpkin Catapults that can toss a good sized one over 40 yards). In another couple of years, it'll be time for the Unknown Son and me to get into the act - hopefully without immolating ourselves.
