The Jamalam

I'm somehow just seeing this. Really neat design, I'm glad it came together. Are you still building at all or was this your swan song?

I log on for a look around once a year or so, and the nostalgia is real. I started in 2008, when I was 12, and I remember being so hyped for every new release. This was before turrets and slingshots, simple mag fed designs were all the rage. Is anyone else from the old days still around?

Can it spin? I heard that's a good trick

Heading back home for a few days over the weekend, I'll have a crack at something in my downtime. I found my old K'Nex (it was lost in a house move) over Christmas but didn't have a chance to use it so I've been toying around with ideas for a long while. Wish me luck!

Just wanted to say - I watched the full video, there's some excellent ideas in there!

Feel free, I've had a lot of feedback asking for instructions. Good luck to you! Thanks for your kind words, it's nice to see that something I made when I was 13 still has a positive impact on people haha. I've not played with K'Nex more than once every few months for years, unfortunately. I just don't have the time any more - most of my year is spent in another city for University so I don't even have it with me most of the time.

I'm afraid this was dismantled 7 years ago, I never made instructions. However the tower should be easy to build from what you can see, since it's entirely repetitive, and you might be able to piece together the track if you're lucky. Have fun!

This gun was made 6 years ago, still 2 years after I posted that comment

Good stuff, always thought it was strange that they never made a K'Nex rack gear.
