This is a question The best thing I've built

Wehttamman asks: My dad and I once built a go-kart from chipboard, pram wheels and an engine from a lawn mower. It didn't work... so tell us about your favourite things you've made, and whether they were a triumph or complete failure.

Some stuff I've made
I made a simple UHF Yagi, for picking up radio signals from cubesats:

The stack of Zip disks in the picture is roughly a 10cm cube, the size of these tiny little satellites which are zipping past a couple of hundred miles above us. I'd love to make a cubesat, but 15000 quid to launch one is a little out of my budget.

I also made this last Christmas, and left it running in the workshop:
