Build Your Own Crystal Radio

Warning!  WARNING: CHOKING HAZARD-Small Parts. Not for children under 3 yrs.

A good basic kit with everything you need to build a very simple crystal radio. This is not hi-tech hi-fi. Geared for ages eight and up, it is a complete kit with wonderfully straight forward instructions which walk the experimenter through hooking up tuning needle, crystal diode, and earphone, and experimenting to find useful antennas. Excellent education, recreation and discovery device all at the same time. A simple kit with hours of fun in it.

Chinese Rifflers

Riffler files are most prized by sculptors, wood carvers, model makers and similar fashioners of precision objects. They come in a variety of flat, round and triangular shapes. They are usually pointed and always have a delicate curve toward the point which makes them particularly useful for working in tight and curvy spots. We have a set of (10) in an attractive red plastic case. They are 3 x 180 mm size (about 7"), and were made in China for the King Manufacturing Co. Very nice quality at a very nice price.

Grow Your Own Butterflies!!!

Warning!  WARNING: CHOKING HAZARD-Small Parts. Not for children under 3 yrs.

More exciting than an ant colony! Prettier than tadpoles and frogs. The principle of this kit is the same as both. Buy the kit which consists of a growing/viewing chamber, food, and instructions. Send in the coupon (plus a small shipping charge) and receive (5) larvae and their food. In about (10) days the larvae will turn to chrysids and in another (7-10) days your beautifully marked butterflies will emerge from the chrysids. Truly entrancing and educational with extensive well written instructions/explanations of the phenomena you are observing. Highly recommended.

ALL Things To ALL People

This deluxe ABS storage case is called a Store-It-ALL, and it does. But it could be called a Carry-It-ALL, for the sturdy handle and locking clasp, or it could be called a See-It-ALL, for its translucent lid. Or a Fits-It-ALL, for the removable dividers that let you configure it with any number of compartments from 5 to 26. But the 12" x 18" x 3" OA case should really be called ALL-I-Ever-Needed- To-Get-Organized!

3-D Sudokube

Warning!  WARNING: CHOKING HAZARD-Small Parts. Not for children under 3 yrs.

Newspaper Sudoku not tough enough for you? You show-off. Try solving the Sudokube®, the evil spawn of a rogue Rubik's Cube® and a wayward Sudoku maiden. You twist away at the 2" x 2" black-and-white plastic cube, until each of the (6) sides displays digits 1 through 9. Extra credit if they're all in the right order with the numbers facing the same way. Only took us 12 minutes, but we used a hacksaw and some epoxy. Packaging says it's "For Ages Over 5." Right.

Electric Styro Knife

"Screeeeeek! Screeeeeek! Screeeeeek!" Recognize that? It's the sound of someone sawing a styro-foamal block. It's followed by the sound of a vacuum sucking up hundreds of little foam shards. Free yourself from both with this clever electric hot-knife that slides through those chunks of craft foam like a straight razor through a ripe mango. Perfect for carving foam blocks into shapes - or smaller blocks. Measures 10" long OA with a 4-3/4" long, needle-like cutting wand, heats up to 410°F (so be careful), and makes screeeek-free and shardless cuts. Has a 7-foot cord, line switch, safety stand, and wall-outlet adapter.

Pretty As A Pitcher

And twice as space-savingly useful. Our skinny, clear-plastic pitcher, a mere 4" wide at its widest spot, is made to occupy as little space as possible. So slim an oval that it can pour without a spout, it's 9" tall and 8-1/2" deep, including the handle. It holds a full 64 oz/2 liters and is graduated in 8 oz/250ml increments. The flared base adds stability, which it needs because it has no lid to keep it from spilling if you use it in the fridge. Yours might have some very slight, surplus-induced, scratches. Or it might not.
