    I made a little guy to walk across a log. The paperclip ended up being too thick to do a lot of small bends with, but I like these legs.

    I remember making small slingshot machanisms when I was a kid, popping away paper bullets in completely wrong directions.

    I like to see if I can make it perfectly straight. Once I’m satisfied with that, I’ll wrap it around a pencil and make a spring.
