Nice work, the only thing i didn't like about the slingshot is the attachment method. There is so many better ways to attach rubber to a slingshot frame. easiest way would be to wrap some more rubber tight on the fork tips.
Well done, what can be said about such good and very meticulous work, bravo, bravo , bravo, When I was a kid, I used the same detailed way to work slings! Absolutely respectful from the old BG.
I was able to do this with a jig saw, a hand drill and a section of 3/8" plywood by using two pieces glued together for the grip and then the sides which I steam-formed and then glued to each side of the handle. After that I went to the Big Five and bought a replacement set of rubber tubing and the pouch for five bucks. But, still at first glance this did give me the idea of what I thought would be a quick and simple build - talk about making a mountain from a mole hill, and this will get the Academy Award for that catagory. Interesting project though, given the dedication you put into building your sling-shot and thank you for sharing.
Nice classic simple design, forks may be a bit tall by today's standards and glue was not the way to go to attach the rubber but at least it looks nice.
Reminds me of a highway tractor pulling a little red wagon. You can purchase a sling shot [with a wrist brace] for less than $5. And, still have all of your fingers and have $1,500 still in the bank account. -
HI JIM.... LOVED TO SEE THE CNC JIG FOR THE MOLD MAKING, VERY ORIGINAL, AND VERY RESISTANT! BUT HOT GLUE TO SECURE THE RUBBER BANDS? HOT GLUE IS TOO HARD TO HOLD EXPANSION, NO MADE FOR RUBBER HOLDING.... ALL THE REST IS VERY NICE.....
I was strangely enthralled. It did bring to mind a few questions, though. 1. How often do you count your fingers? 2. How often do you get the same number on consecutive counts? 3. How often do you superglue your hand to a piece of wood? Otherwise, though, top notch.
Il fait vraiment peur avec ces doigts ce garçon. Mais le boulot est impécable. Da escalofrios ver como acerca sus dedos a la maquinaria. El resultado sin embargo, excelente. Habe Angst dass er seine Finger verletzt. Die Arbeit aber, supper!
I'll admit it was a nice looking slingshot but why glue on the bands? all that work and too build in such a simple point of failure? Oh, a d he does not need to worry about losing a finger because they are still young and invulnerable. give them a few years to learn just how much mistakes at that age REALLY hurt. Things I did at 18 are just starting to catch up with me. ouch!
I HAVE READ SOME OF THE COMMENTS REGARDING THE USE OF POWER TOOLS! IT REALLY DOESN`T MATTER MUCH...IF YOU GOOD POWER TOOLS , THAN MAKE USE OF IT. THEY WERE MADE TO MAKE PERFECT, FLAWLESS WORK. I WISH I HAD ALL THOSE MACHINES.... BLESS YOU ALL
Don't pay attention to all the nonsense remarks, you did a good job and if you have the power tools why not use them I know I would and so would a lot of other people and when you work on a project it's your project and you can take all the time you want you don't have to answer to anyone.
I'm sorry, a sling shot is the kind you sling round and around your head and then release one end throwing the projectile the way you intend, as did Samson at Golitath.
Aiyoh, so many steps and process, so troublesome, these works can only be treated as an arts, to attract someone's interest in making slingshot. How effective and usefulness is questionable.
