In this episode of MAKE's Weekend Projects, Bre Pettis shows you how to to make a "foxhole radio" out of a paper tube, wire, paper clips, a razor blade, and a pencil.

During World War II, GIs in the field built really amazing simple radios to listen too. These were made with materials that they could get their hands on and were small enough to carry around in a big pocket. You can modify this design if you want to set it up so that it's tuneable too!
