Back in January I was in IKEA and I noticed they had reduced the price of these electric coffee stirrers to £1 so I thought I should make a very simple electric boat with one. This is it's first test in the boating lake. The link to the build video is down below.

It is probably worth reading my video description first because the answer may already be there.

Generally my projects are for my grandchildren to enjoy. OK, I enjoy them too. If anybody else likes them, that is a bonus. I like to keep my work as simple and basic as possible so that it can be copied easily and improved by anybody who wants to try themselves. I recycle or repurpose items rather than buy new and when I do buy I like to keep it cheap.
