Ductigami: The Art of the Tape

by Joe Wilson

It's back -- with more tape and more 18 projects using the do-it-yourselfer's not-so-secret weapon. NASA has a written policy that requires every space shuttle mission to carry at least one roll of "the gray tape." Duct tape now comes in designer colors, and for the color-shy there's a transparent version. The once-humble tape has hit the big time, and now there are duct-tape clubs, competitions and websites. In the words of Red Green, head possum on the PBS-syndicated The Red Green Show, "Spare the duct tape, spoil the job." In this instructive, entertaining and downright funny how-to book, Joe Wilson shows how to rip, cut and fold ordinary duct tape to make 18 amazing projects, Ductigami is more fun than a crossword puzzle, more useful than a welder's certificate, and more durable than a rechargeable battery. With duct tape it's easy to create a remarkable personal gift for any occasion.

Some of the projects are outdated now, but the book is still very useful and clever.

Neil and I got this book for my brother for his birthday, and I just borrowed it for some ideas for some kids at school. Long story. Anyway, you have to love a book that tells you how to make a toolbelt out of duct tape. How perfect is that?

"Ductigami" gets you going; choose a few projects to get started, and you don't want to stop! "Grip, rip, and flip!"

Not really any projects that I would make in here unless it was for a gag gift. My son wants to make the wallet, which is really the only truely useful item in this book.

It's amazing what you can do with this stuff. I think I'm going to try the wallet and the apron.
