Product Description
It's back -- with more tape and more projects: 18 projects using the do-it-yourselfer's not-so-secret weapon. NASA has a written policy that requires every space shuttle mission to carry at least one roll of "the gray tape." Duct tape now comes in designer colors, and for the color-shy there's a transparent version. The once-humble tape has hit the big time, and now there are duct-tape clubs, competitions and websites. In the words of Red Green, head possum on the PBS-syndicated The Red Green Show, "Spare the duct tape, spoil the job." In this instructive, entertaining and downright funny how-to book, Joe Wilson shows how to rip, cut and fold ordinary duct tape to make 18 amazing projects, including: - Wallet
- Barbecue apron
- Lunchbox
- Tool belt
- Cell phone holder
- Baseball cap
- TV chair caddy
- Raingear for pets
- Toilet roll cover
- Halloween masks.
Ductigami is more fun than a crossword puzzle, more useful than a welder's certificate, and more durable than a rechargeable battery. With duct tape it's easy to create a remarkable personal gift for any occasion. (20071130)

 If it quacks like Duct ..... July 26, 2008
I have the earlier edition, the one with the green cover. The projects, well illustrated and described step by step, are amusing and, believe it or not, useful. Who couldn't use a duct-tape wallet? Who wouldn't look amazingly techno-cool with a silver tape cell-phone holder on his belt? The flak-proof BBQ apron is a must-have item for the outdoor chef (obviously not intended to repel grenade shards, but will certainly deflect flak from critics.) If any of these fine self-crafted products begins to wear thin, well, you just repair with a patch of -- what else?-- more duct tape!
The writing is plenty humorous -- good for snorts, chuckles, wry smiles, and the occasional raised eyebrow. You might find the retro photos enjoyably spicy if you're the kind of guy that finds the Beeve's mom alluring. Duct tape is a "guy thing" and this is a guy book, but in this edition the photos are not any more suggestive than a WW2 pin-up.
The later edition is a bit bawdy and the sexual humor has been notched up another level, so consider your potential audience and be judicious in your selection. The earlier version is probably OK for your high-schoolers, but preview the later one before you hand it over to the younger guys.
 Great product January 2, 2008
My daughter age 18 bought this for her 12 year old brother for Christmas along with several different colored rolls of duct/duck tape...it was a hit with him and he has easily made several of the items in the book.
such a cute gift December 23, 2007

 Buy the older edition October 2, 2007

The older edition (not available, looks like, though abebooks may have it) is the way to go. Exactly the same projects, without the un-funny "man show" misogyny and toilet humor. I would give that edition 5 stars, if Amazon had it. I bought this one because I needed my own copy, but I think I'm going after the old one. This one really is a turn-off - makes me not want to have anything to do with it, to be honest. I'm glad my library had the old edition and I read that one first.
