Cody Hovland was inspired when he noticed his backyard grill was exactly the same shape as a bicycle bell. So he made up a problem in order to solve it. His bicycle bell needed to be bigger! You know, for safety's sake. So he converted the grill into a bell. Fun, huh? Hovland gives us a step-by-step build video, but it's not what you expect, because who cares about the actual process? We just want to see more nonsense. If making our own stuff at home were this easy (and entertaining), we'd all be doing it. The video gets dramatic when Hovland realizes he no longer has a grill, but does have a pre-planned cookout. He managed to solve that problem, but an even bigger problem was getting the sound of the big bell right. The result is a huge bicycle bell that sounds like a firehouse alarm. He even won an award for it! A good time was had by all. -via Metafilter
