I am asking you the question of whether you build other stuff with K'Nex, not coaster related?

Why? I am exploring the possibility of creating a new sister site dedicated to K'Nex making in general since there is no real concentrated location for this out there already. I already have a few pieces in place for this project to take place and am just trying to gauge the interest that there is from members of this site.

Please note, I am not asking you what else is out there because a simple google search reveals it. I am trying to see what interest level there is for myself.

I disagree. There may not be a large site yet, but there is a site. It has a decent following already. I joined when I met the founder.

Currently compiling a massive list

I know what is out there, but nothing out there accomplishes what I want to do.

I have built many non-coaster related creations in the past and I think it would be a great idea to create another site.

I haven't built anything noncoaster related that was of any interest to me, nor was very good.

Right now I've got a mail-holder on our entertainment center for holding the day's mail till its been processed. I've also build Star Destroyers using K'nex bricks,, and customized some WW2 fighters using K'nex. My last MOC was a weaving lomb.

The only non-coaster thing I've ever really built is once, a year ago I made a gun or something. I also made a drink dispenser.

I have one idea. It could be succesful. Knex Guns, If you went to Instructables - Make, How To, and DIY and convinced some people to start or whatever. TBM is into that stuff, I just followed the instructions to all of them...^^^same

Yes, I've done a "paso" of Easter. It measures 250cm high and it's extensible. It is typical of Andalusia (Spain). It's of 4 "costaleros":

I have built a lot of different things, but my main interest is in cranes. I love their complexity and capabilities and I enjoy finding solutions to different problems when building them.

This is one of my better creations that I have built.

I used to build cars and moving things and shit all the time before I got into coasters. I might actually build a ball tower this summer.
