K'nex Whisk
Have you ever had one of those moments when you have been whisking something for ages by hand and you can't get the smooth mixture you want. Who am I kidding, we've all had them! Well then, this instructable is for you! With my hard efforts, I have created the Super Fast Ultimate Kitchen K'nex Whisk. If you do manage to make it post a picture and I will add it to the last step. Also I will hopefully be posting my BIGGER project tomorrow!
So, get your K'nex and lets get mixing (I know awful pun :P)
This is one of my entrys for the Rods and Connectors contest so I would appreciate a vote Jamie Oliver!
