What I made

Way, way back, a friend and I made forty bubble machines. They were made from MDF board, pram wheels, slide trays (do you even get slides anymore?), elastic bands and galvanized wire. They were what you might call, low-tech.

We sold them from a stall at Covent Garden. And although we got a fair bit of interest, they didn’t sell in the numbers necessary to make the business viable. So rather sadly it all petered out, and I ended up with a large overdraft, which I had to pay off by working on a building site for 6 months!
