Grumpy expert maker Jimmy DiResta fields kids' ideas for delightfully pointless inventions. Then — if he's in the mood — he and his pals build 'em.
A couple of kids give Jimmy and his crew of merry makers a Jurassic task: build a 12-foot-tall wooden dinosaur that spits candy tacos.
A precocious girl demands that Jimmy and his team make two unicorn bicycles that — checks notes — "fart glitter." And you thought your boss was tough.
The beautiful game of soccer will never be the same after Jimmy and company hit the pitch with a "Panda Paradise Soccer Shoe Car."
Nobody likes to lose at rock paper scissors, but this supersized contest between the makers has especially high stakes.
The guys go all out to create a humongous nutcracker that slices, dices and destroys anything in its way. It also makes smoothies for some reason.
The makers are given a mission: construct two catapults that will fling cat poop as far and as high as possible. Because, why the heck not?
A fearsome new maker joins Jimmy's mighty crew to construct a pirate pizza ship and a pie-launching cannon for a landlubbin' lad and lass.
Can five bearded makers build a guitar-shaped boat that holds two passengers, plays music and actually floats? Only one way to find out, sailor.
