My friend Troy sent along a pointer to The Gadget Show‘s feature on DIY hoverboards. They claim it all goes together with basic tools, a leaf blower, plywood, a bit of pipe, and other various parts totaling about £150. Oh yeah, they also recommend “an insurance policy with good fringe benefits,” and being as British as they are, apparently “craft knives” and “scalpels” are pretty interchangeable.

It all goes together in eight easy steps explained on four pages, so what’s keeping you? Isn’t it time to scour your local big box store for deals on last year’s leaf blowers?
