This video walks the viewer through the showroom of Jörg Sprave's slingshot den. No less than 57 slingshots are presented, the most interesting pieces of the collection. Also, last chance to win the Thuja Cougar!
Das nenne ich wahre Leidenschaft , .........absolut starke Sammlung und auch super Handwerkskunst ,......egal , ob bei deinen Katapulten oder auch bei den Stücken von den anderen Slingshot-Enthusiasten ! Hut ab !!!
your work is very inspirating. Nowadays men do not play or have hobbies. I think you cannot be a succesfull man if you don't gide your plays to perfection. Thanks to you Joerg.
He seems to become sadder/somber as the video goes on. It feels like he is going through all of his slingshots and the memories that he has shared with them one last time before they must part ways.
That is a very nice collection of sling shots. I have not made one since I was a child, so maybe I should make one again when I have some time and see what I can do. Happy shooting.
I would love to see 2020 version of this video :D Just imagining the pile if you have kept all the slingshots and bows you've made during these years :D
@lst2man I use thin string and the constrictor knot to attach my pouches. Join the slingshotforum for details! If your pouch rips, then the leather is not strong enough.
@Sprengmeista1 Bei Dankung gibt's die "Special Edition" schussfertig ab 38 Dollar plus Steuer plus Versand. Die "Limited Edition" (300 Stück) mit Hunterbändern gibt's bei huntercatapults (Fish) für 55 Pfund.
@sittttam Im Schraubstock einspannen, Stahlrohr drüberstülpen und biegen. Ab 12 mm Stahl vorher mit dem Lötbrenner an der Biegestelle rotglühend machen.
@Ghostxx10 Butterfly bands are longer so you can extend both arms to the max, like a butterfly spreading its wings. This is the most powerful slingshot shooting style, but it does require practice. Search for "butterfly" on my channel, I got some videos about that style.
@daboyzful1 You are a positive thinker, I give you that! Of course I will communicate with the winner to find out her/his band preferences. But it is not time yet.
hey joerg. im a 15 year old filipino and loves weapons martial arts and very particulr slingshots. I HAVE been observing your videos ever since and i saw how you gradually became very popular and your slingshots really improve by designs and power etc. my question is, have you ever used them to someone, or why do you made them. AGAIN MORE POWER AND BE A BAD ASS WITH THE SLINGSHOTS. HEHE
HELLO: Joerg, really your collection and creations are wonderful, when I go to sleep, I think of my slingshots, then when I wake up I am still thinking of my slingshots. I think that to You have the same experience and have dreams with it , Right ?
Imagine the look on their faces if you were getting robbed and then the buglars discovered "The Sling Room" - and by the way is there a favourate slingshot of yours that you always keep with you?
@EdgarInventor I don't want to spoil a great hobby with profane things like lawyers, taxes, deadlines, complaints and and and. So I have no plans to ever make a business out of this. I am happy to assist people in copying my designs, businesses and hobbyists alike, and I do that for free.
JoergSprave hi joerg ,i would also like to wrap my cougar how you did that and what kind of ropes is that. mit welcher technik wurde die cougar umwickelt und welches seil hast du benutzt joerg?
would you please tell me the name of the slingshot you are holding at 0:58? would you share pictures or blueprint of it so i can try to make closest to yours?
I tried registering on the forum but your security spam codes won't let me. 0n3 plus th33 = four or 4? Backwards spelling hint =slingshots or sling shots.... It still tells me that my responses are wrong.
Jorg, what do you do for a living, if you don't mind me asking. How do you afford to get all the materials and the bow that I think I heard you say it was $1000?
You had the most Slingshot collection man,I live in Singapore and unlike your country,Slingshot are banned from my country,but still,I have two Slingshot,A metal one and a wooden one,for the metal Slingshot,my father curved the "Y"shape out and all we gotta to do is just tie some elastic onto the metal Slingshot,for the wooden one,bought it from a stall which illegally sells Slingshot in Singapore...more shocking thing...i'm only 11 year old.
If you used ebay, you wouldn't have to worry about any of that. Unless I am mistaken. I don't know if you have something comparable to ebay where you live, but you might be happier to sell your product through that avenue. Anyone who would buy one would be a fool to complain about it after choosing to buy it themselves in the first place. I know you have posted many times that you wont start a business or sell them, but I didn't know if you had thought about something like that. Cheers.
@GetMeRice I am the CEO of a small corporation in consumer electronics. I am not rich, but I do OK. Don't forget that it took years to make all these slingshots.
