THIS WEEK'S VIDEO EARLY ACCESS: SLINKY!
Added 2021-01-19 19:03:36 +0000 UTCWell here we go: I managed to get this week's video done on time after all, so here it is a couple of days early!
Top Tier Gang will be getting an uncut version of the on-location sequence, featuring EXTRA CONTENT, probably tomorrow.
Until then... please enjoy this: our inevitably shambolic and rambling look at the history of the Slinky!

The laser noise thing can also be done by stretching it along a plank and fixing it at each end and then smacking it in the middle with a stick. I think this is how some of the Star Wars sound effects were done (from memory of a documentary I watched 35 or so years ago!)
