As a hobby blacksmith for nearly a decade, those look handmade...and incredibly simple to make. I forged a traditional socket handled woodworking bevel back chisel with laminated construction (mild steel with an old file for the cutting end). Never thought to forge simple carving chisels but then again I don't do much carving.

Very nice and powerful slingshot....like it a lot....wish I had one of those!

Now that looks like a fun project. Not complicated by a lot of electrical equipment!!! Very sweet adaptation

Brilliant work, dude! Really stunning slingshot! 😃 Happy new year! And stay safe there with your family! 🖖😊

Incorporating a forearm brace that a wrist rocket has would add strength and accuracy and stability. Not something I've seen before.

Great build, beautiful product, and mostly done with non-power tools (drills get a pass). Thanks for posting this.

Excellent slingshot for hunting balloons and Coke boxes.

Very nice! Would have been great to see what he used for an arrow and what the fletching was like.

@nicholashodges201

Probably just a stiff species of reed. That's what most of the world used until modern materials were made. It mostly Europeans & East Asians that needed heavier arrows because of their need to shoot through plates of metal. Reeds and are literally the only thing in nature of the right size & shape that doesn't need to be straightened before getting made into an arrow.

Beautiful! I was thinking of buying a bow just for fun but this seem more practical. Thank you for the video!

Suprised the central axle was a dowel and not steel. Cool design!

Every young fella would love having a father to show him how to make this. Great bonding and skill sharing opportunity. The Woke would outlaw it.

Neat design, though could be made far more powerful by making the handle longer so that longer elastic bands could be used and pre tensioning them so that they continue accelerating the projectile over an extended distance. A brace similar to a wrist rocket would allow for greater tension to be applied.
