I have built many things that I am really proud of!
One of my DIY-project was
making of a football goal of actual size by the use of pipes. I, at first, measured the size of a goal’s poles and crossbar, then for some support for the goal to stand still for hours and resists really fast shots, I planned to join a set of properly arranged pipes behind the goal to give it strength. It was very successful and helped me to win the football tournament whose final was the on the next day to which I made this goal. It was quite easy but interesting and required skill. You just have to bring pipes of accurate size and join them with through other pipes that plays the role of a joint in a very careful and correct manner. And you goal is ready! The more the wider pipes you use, the more resistive they are, was the only science I had to use there! This goal helped me improved in football for the next 7-8 months until it was stolen by one of my own neighbours due to my own carelessness. Second of my creation was a carrier. One day my father told me to bring 70-80 bricks from outside of the house because he planned to build a small well in our backyard! I could only manage to pick 2-3 bricks simultaneously so my mind gave me an idea to build a carrier that would reduce my effort. With the help of many layers of cardboard and one of thick plastic as well as a strong rope, I succeeded to build a carrier. If I would drag it with rope it would take so much time too. So I planned to attach tyres to it. I took two small but wide pipes, attached it at the bottom of the carrier with the help of a glue stronger than elfi, took two long and thin trunks of wood and attached four tyres of my old small broken car and asked my dad to start his work after an hour, he agreed. After one hour my carrier was ready and now it could carry about 6-8 bricks at one time and my work was finished within 12 shifts. This carrier would require least force if held from the top of the rope because it was farthest from the pivot. This carrier helped moving heavy things around the house for next two months until my father brought it under his car and accidently broke it. I was sullen for few moments but then I thought how it had helped us all the time. Last of my making, that I was proud of, was a locker to keep my money safe. It probably didn’t helped me in any big way but at least I was happy to do something new. I was made out of cardboard and outside was a lock wheel which was attached to an ice-cream stick from inside through a rotating nut. I would just write numbers on the wheel from 0-50 as to make sure that at what point it opens. The code was 17. Though this invention didn’t help me but became popular amongst my friends. There are many projects that we did at school and they impressed most of our teachers. I took two syringes, filled one with water and joint them both through a small and very thin pipe. Now if I would press one syringe, the other end would release and vice versa. This project demonstrated hydrostatic pressure. Having interest in architecture, I, along with my friend, constructed a Skyscraper using ice-cream sticks of more than 1 foot. My principle loved it! When it comes to my hobby, as I have mentioned in the subject section, I love to create small DIY-projects at home. For a birthday party in our family, I make my own party poppers. When my friends come home, I make my own ball shooter, Ninja star or anything that would entertain my friends. For even more fun, I make Catapults, Crossbows, small decoration pieces e.g. a small Masjid, a fox out of a bottle and cardboard and so many more. I show my talent on small scale wherever and whenever I get a chance to and when I will go for some big projects I surely will succeed! [INSHALLAH]
