CALTROPS

CALTROPS

I will tell you two ways to make these. Tha first is when you have
welding
equipment and tha second is when you don’t (dur).

Materials:
/> Two nailz (about 6 inches) (for each CALTROPS)
Welding equipment
Hammer

Something with an edge on it to pound on (anvil, cement slab, etc.)
Grinder (or file)

Saw

1. Saw off tha end of each nail that you hammer on (tha flat head).
2. Then
grind (or file) it to a point. It should look like this:

________________________________________
<________________________________________> />
3. Weld tha two together at tha middle. It should look like this:

|^|
|
|
| | ______________
| | <______________>
______|_|_____ (_)

<______________>
| |
| |
| |
| |
\/

4. Now you
notice it does not lay flat. Take tha hammer and pound it down so
it looks like this:

_____
________/ \________
<_________/(_)\_________>

5. Now lay it on
tha edge and pound tha nailz so they all bend upward.

|^| |^| |^|
| | | | | | /> | | | | | | >1 1/2 to 2 inches
| | | | | |

|_|________________|_|_______________|_|
|______________________________________|

That is it. Now lay it on tha road (spikes up) and don’t go down that
street for a while.
Someone will hit it and it will pop their tire. If not
it will stay in tha tire for a while
then fall out and it will slowly leak
air.

Materials:

One nail (for
each one)
Hammer
Saw
Grinder (or file)
Edge
Pipe (optional)
/> 1. Take tha nail and cut off tha head.
2. File it to a point.
3. Pound tha nail
around tha pipe to make a horse-shoe-shape.
Or
3. Pound it on tha edge to make it in an
angle of 90 degrees or more.

!!!NOTE!!!

I use tha horse shoe because tha
nailz usually don’t break while doing it
and if dropped outta car it tends to land right. />
4. Then pound it to bend up tha ends.

How to use them

First find
tha road. Then set them down when tha tire usually are (like
not in tha middle). Make sure
that tha horse shoe is facing away. Ya know,
spikes are away from traffic.

Traffic direction

Placement

This
makes it so it goes into tha tires and not just hit and fling it outta tha
way. Cause if they
hit it wrong it just flies.

Place tha X shapes like an X and not a +.

Traffic direction
—————–>
Placement

Well, that is it.
Now don’t go down that road for a while. If you do,
try to remember where you put them. With
some phriends (if ya have any) ya
can mass produce these things. I always wanted to see what
would happen if I
put about ten of these in each lane of tha busiest street in town. There
is
a major traffic jam waiting to happen.
