Real thing: If there was ever something worthy of being called a chopper, this crazy contraption is truly it
Danger: The radio-controlled helicopter not only has rotary blades, but it also has a chainsaw attached to it
Test-run: The three friends from Finland who made it have nicknamed the invention their 'killer drone, and used the test flight to hack at trees, icicles and snowmen
Beheaded: The snowmen's heads were immediately reduced to nothing when the chainsaws hit them, sending a cloud of ice and slush flying through the air
Miika Ullakko, Henri Kiviniemi and drone pilot Antti Junnari came up with the idea as a joke after seeing videos of drones delivering mail
Precision: The expert pilots flew alongside a hut and trimmed off the icicles hanging form the roof
Timber: They also used the drone to hack at trees in the area during the footage of the testrunMiika Ullakko, Henri Kiviniemi and drone pilot Antti Junnari came up with the idea as a joke after seeing videos of drones delivering mail.Miika said: 'Anyone who's ever flown a drone knows how ridiculous the idea of a drone delivering mail is.'We wanted to make a parody of this kind of nonsense, but also free our inner children.'This is the most dangerous toy I can imagine.

'But even without the saw, a drone that size has a lot of horsepower - handling something like that needs experience.'We had to tune the power of the drone right up to the max, and even then the flight time was quite short - but it was great fun.'It's not very practical - apart from maybe for scaring people at Halloween - but maybe something like this could exist as a working tool after a couple of years of development.'

253175198568176057181367233462196717Find a suitable place to put the snowman. You'll need a flat area for the snowman. And you'll need access to a spot which has a nice big patch of snow to make big snowballs with.
Note that snow that is very icy or very fluffy usually don't work well for snow sculpting. Check to see if the snow packs together well. If the snow does not pack well, the snow is not ready to make a snowball yet. If you're not convinced, give it a go and see whether or not it keeps its shape.
Gather a handful of snow. Pack it tightly with your two hands, shaping it into a ball.You can also use a snowball maker if you have one. This is not mandatory.
Place the ball on the ground. Roll the ball along the snowy patch. As you roll, the ball will pick up more snow and will grow larger and larger as the snow from the ground sticks to it. Keep rolling until the ball reaches the desired lower body size. A height of 1 foot (0.3 m) to three feet (or more) is recommended.
Make another snowball. Only this time, make it a little bit smaller (roll less). This will become the snowman's middle section.
It may be necessary to create a snow ramp or wood ramp to roll this middle section up if you have a very large bottom section.
Make another snowball. This last one must be smaller still, as it will form the snowman's head. When done, stack the three snowballs up from largest to smallest, being careful to pack tightly and balance them so they won't fall down. As you go, smooth the sides out as best you can.
Stack the rolled snowballs into a snowman formation. The largest ball is at the base, the medium in the middle and the small ball becomes the snowman's head.
When all the balls are in place, pack some snow between the layers. This will make sure they stick together. If your snowman seems wobbly, you can stabilize it by poking a long skinny stick straight down through the top of its head, like threading a shish kabob. Cover the hold in its head with more snow.
Place a carrot in the middle of the head to act as a nose. Use buttons, pebbles or etc and place them above the carrots to represent the eyes. Use a row of pebbles, coal or etc., to show a dazzling smile or a grumpy frown beneath the carrot nose.
Add some sticks for the arms. Top off the snowman with a hat and place a nice scarf around its neck.
Take some pictures if you like. Your snowman will hang around at least a few days and even longer if it's very cold.
A packed snowman is a variation you might like to try instead of rolling. This means you don't have to shift the rolled
the size of this one will be determined by how much snow you want to keep packing down.
Select a suitable place. Choose a flat space with plenty of snow close by.
Make a small snowball. This i it needs to be placed directly on the spot that you're shaping the snowman.
Pack more snow onto the snowball until it is big enough. As you pack, keep rounding the snow so that you form the traditional snowman shape. It helps to stand back and check periodically, so that you can assess the size and make a decision as to when you'll stop packing on the snow. When done, this forms the snowman's body. You won't be making a middle section, as this packing method allows for one complete body.
Build another ball on top of the body. Pack down the snow as with the body section, shaping as you go. Gently smooth the join between the head and the body parts to create one line.
Use the side of a shovel or a smaller implement to smooth the sides of the snowman.
Decorate the packed snowman.
Add a hat and scarf.
Put eyes and a mouth of your choice.
Put a carrot for the nose and put buttons down the front of the snowman.
How can I add color to my snowman?
wikiHow Contributor
Add a few drops of food coloring to a spray bottle full of water, secure the lid, and shake thoroughly. Then, spray the food coloring mixture onto the desired areas of your snowman.
When I go and try the packing method for my snowman, it kept on falling. Should I pour water on the snowman so that it turns into ice and hardens?
wikiHow Contributor
Yes -- and pouring water over it seems to help, just make sure it's very cold water.

What would we need for the eyes and mouth of the snowman?
wikiHow Contributor
For the eyes. use big coal bits. If not available, use stones or pebbles. For the mouth, use shells, pebbles, or small pieces of coal.
Can I make a snowman with ten snowballs?
wikiHow Contributor
No, because it takes about 30-40 snowball for the bottom, top, and middle section. I suppose if you wanted to make a mini snowman, you might be able to get away with 10.
Can I make a snowman have an icicle as a nose?
wikiHow Contributor
Yes, just get the icicle and put it in where your want the nose to be do the same as you would do with a carrot.

Snow can become quite heavy when packed. If it is necessary to lift the snowballs then do so carefully, squatting down and then using the force of your legs to help you lift. Get help if needed.
Snow is very cold, so it is highly recommended to wear gloves or mittens while making your snowman.
Keep trying!
When rolling a snowman, don't put too much pressure or else the snowball will keep on breaking and crumbling.
Don't add clothes that you want to keep onto the snowman because if it melts it will become soggy!
Listen to "Do You Want to Build A Snowman" while building. It's fun and makes you go faster.
If it's not packing snow then stomp on the snow and use that.
