The kit also has a tablecloth for a place to work and gloves to keep your hands clean. On this show you’ll learn how the rest of the tie-dye system works. It also includes chalk markers for toddlers and for older kids. And yes, when finished the T-shirts can go in the washer & dryer too! MSRP: $29.99 to $34.99.

Chad’s Crappy Corner and his new theme for March as picked by our loyal Patreon friends is Spring Gadgets For The Yard.

Chad’s 3^rd Spring Gadget is the Project Source Quick-attach 7-in Low Pressure 5-Sq ft Residential Misting System

From Lowes: The quick-attach mini mister is a hand-sized personal mister that can be clamped or strapped to just about anything! Attach the mister to smaller objects like tables, chairs, and loungers. The included hook and loop strap is great for attaching the mister to larger objects like awnings, posts, and trees. The 7-inch flexible tube on the mister head can be manipulated and placed in any position to point mist exactly where you want it. The quick-attach mini mister makes it quick and easy to provide a refreshing cooling mist anywhere you want it! Chad paid about $16.00 when he his at a local Lowes in Dallas, Texas.

And Chad’s take: Chad liked this a lot. Attached to a hose you’ll have constant misting action. And he liked that company says it can reduce the temperature around the mister by about 20 degrees. He also liked the two ways he’ll be able to attach it to items around his backyard. And finally, the price was decent, about $16.00.

Our email this week is from Great Britain! (We play The Giz Wiz show very loud here in the states so they can hear it over there!)

Steve Davies emails us: Hi guys. Here’s a short gadget video for you. Hope it is okay.

As you can see it is quite short, and I’m not really an on-screen type of guy. This was a great Christmas gift idea from a few years back, and I’ve been meaning to send you a video of it for ages. It was inspired by watching Dick trying to microwave bread in toaster pockets and discovering how to make soggy bread  in episode 1850 (between 15 and 17 minutes).Steve’s video: https://youtu.be/fgQpNFFSkUw

Great fun show! Thanks, Steve

From the Giz Wiz: Chad, I and chatroom, love this gadget. I found something like it is still available on Amazon here in the states.

How To Submit Your Video For The Gadget Warehouse & Win An Autographed Copy of MAD Magazine.

We’d love to include your video in an upcoming Giz Wiz Show! Here’s what we’re looking for! Your home shot video – 2 to 3 minutes long, in any of the following categories:
I bought a piece of crap: Did you buy something you ended up hating? We won’t get you a refund, but we might be able to give a platform to vent your disappointment. Remember, “family friendly” language applies.
–
I invented this! Did you invent something? (Or did a friend or relative invent something.) We can’t market it for you, but we can help get the word out. Show us what it is, and how it works. Even if it’s a prototype, you can get our (and the audience) reactions. No professional ads please.
–
My Gadget Warehouse: Okay, so you don’t have a warehouse. It doesn’t matter. Just tell us about your favorite old gadget(s). When and where you bought it, and why you’re still hanging on to it.
–
My Favorite Gadget (favorite old, or favorite new): Show us what it is, tell us what it does and why you love, or loved it! It can be a new gadget you just bought too.
–
Post them on YouTube and send us the link! We’ll do the rest. (Or possibly nothing, but that’s unlikely.) Remember, videos should be just 2 to 3 minutes long! Low production value is fine, but we should be able to hear you and see you! If we select and show your video on The Giz Wiz you’ll earn a tiny amount of fame (hopefully). And if you live in the US, you’ll also get an autographed 38+ year old Alfred E. Neuman picture and a MAD surprise (most likely the current issue of MAD.) But no matter where you live outside of US, I can autograph an Alfred E. Neuman photo to you, scan it & email you a high res copy if we show your video. Just print it out, frame it, or just hang it up and no one will know it’s a copy. We’ve tested it out and fans say they look terrific! If you submitting warehouse videos for a second, third time, etc., you’ll get the current issue of MAD as a thank you.

All show submissions go to mail@gizwiz.tv
