Taffy Machine!!

hmmm... this particular magazine is what i would call so/so yet interesting. It is sligtly dissapointing as it's not quite what i was hoping for, however as a magazine series it's pretty good. Full of DIY "Do it yourself" kind of projects which are fun for any age group. This particular magazine has a neat Taffy Machine blueprints and instructions on how to make your own wind generator.
