I have always been fascinated in what people can make out of things from the dollar store. would be much appreciated if oyu could post your cheap budget builds here.

I haven't built much yet from items from the Dollar Store. The recent purchase I made was plastic CD holders which I planned on taking the clear covers, cutting them up and making quick and easy Dexter blood slides. But been sort of busy to do anything with them yet.

This is my dollar store / budget ARC Reactor. Cost less than $10 dollars and all parts are currently available in your local stores:

I am still trying to decide on my next budget build as I want them to be props I like, that I can display in my work area in the garage. There was a guy on here, a couple years back,
who did a flux capacitor for his sons school play. I believe cost was $15-$20.

Is there a reason why you're not using these two previous threads you made on the same topic?

Yeah, I know what you mean. I just go nuts if I am not working on something all the time.

Great Idea, CB.

Thanks. I figured it's safer than using glass slides which can most likely break.

any other ideas would be appreciated.

for anyone who's interested, a fellow rpf member (I have forgotten his username) sometimes posts his budget builds on his youtube
