Even Fulton would have loved one of these
You will need the following:
- Metal tube (a cigar tube works great -- ask an adult to get you one)
- Two pieces of strong, stiff wire (like clothes hanger wire) about 18-inches long
- Cork that fits snuggly into the end of the tube
- Two food warmer candles (in metal cups)
- Balsa wood (4 inch by 8 inch, 1/2-inch thick)
- Masking tape
- Hammer and three nails
- Matches
