ALL BLACK EVERYTHING

One of the most jaw-dropping spectacles in George Miller’s film Mad Max: Fury Road was the blind, masked Doof Warrior, harnessed to the Doof Wagon in front of a wall of speakers, ferociously playing his awesome flame-throwing guitar. He and his outrageous musical instrument stood out in a movie where every scene was extraordinary.

Make: Community Editor Caleb Kraft was inspired by this unforgettable character and decided to create his own version of the Doof Warrior’s guitar: a Flamethrower Ukelele.

“Nothing says rock-n-roll more than actual fire entwined with your tunes! This guy was completely ridiculously over the top and I loved it!

I felt that the scale of the one in the movie was a bit outside my comfort zone, so I decided to build a flamethrower ukulele instead. I didn’t want to try to replicate exactly what he had, and I also wanted to scale things down to be marginally safer. My version can be built from hardware store parts in a very short amount of time.”

Here’s Kraft’s video showing how he made his fantastic fire-spraying ukelele:

Now that is pretty freaking awesome.
