I'm gonna try it at home so hopefully Adam Savage will come visit to 'personally kick my butt'. Maybe he'll bring Kari too.

It's a close call, but my fave is the water heater rocket/explosion. <a class="user" href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JmJoyuUJj2Q" rel="nofollow">http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JmJoyuUJj2Q</a>The destruction was so complete, and with water instead of high explosives (like we're used to!) unexpected...It really DID turn into a rocket, too.
