Backyard BallisticsIn this episode of Make: Talk, I interviewed William Gurstelle, a contributing editor to MAKE. I've interviewed Bill before on this podcast, but I invited him back on the show again because the second edition of his classic book, Backyard Ballistics: Build Potato Cannons, Paper Match Rockets, Cincinnati Fire Kites, Tennis Ball Mortars, and More Dynamite Devices, just came out. If you like making things that fly, explode, or catch on fire, you'll want to stick around for my interview with Bill.
