Hi guys thanks for watching Just wanted to say in this video I edited out quite alot of sanding. I don't want to bore you guys with sanding footage. If you guys are interested in a more comprehensive video on sanding let me know. This frame was sanded through 40, 80, 100, 120, 150, 240, 320, 400, 500 grit, finished with boiled linseed oil and banded with 0.7mm green snipersling bands cut at 22-12mm tapers

🙋🙋🙋🙋 The inaccurate one would be interested in a sanding video. Its my favourite part, you get to see her get prettier and prettier with the grits lol 🤩
Wonderful tutorial! I watched several videos from this channel and today I finally made a very similar slingshot model with an ergonomic handle from dry walnut wood. It turned out just great, thanks to the information received on the channel. Thanks and respect to the author for sharing this!
Very nice frame! 👍
Omg my friend beatiful
That's some real Zelda worthy craftsmanship! I would pay extra for one like that! Definitely something Zelda would go on a mission to find one of those.
Yeah Chris! You finally made it. Yew is by far the best wood for the most beautiful natural slingshots! And I think it's patriotic, too bc of GBs Longbow History! We Germans must only use oak and sauerkraut-slings, that's really annoying 😅... All the best for you and your family from Leipzig, Germany!

Ooops, dangerous territory... I am talking of the Longbow tradition of England, aware that you live in Northern Ireland, forming the United Kingdom along with Scotland, Wales and England. I don't want to offend anyone and am a fan of the UK. God Save the King!

Thanks a lot. It suddenly struck me that praising N. Ireland for its glorious 'yew history' could be as dumb and offensive as... eh... congratulating a guy from Berlin for his mighty 'Lederhosen and Octoberfest' tradition, which would at best be considered a good joke or funny nonsense, but more likely answered with a headbutt (good old 'Glasgow kiss') 😢 and certainly prove that the speaker has no idea of the country's history or culture. Have a good week. ❤
Beautifully crafted mate👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Nice one! How I wish could one❤
🤩👏🏼👏🏼Congratulations Cris, it was very beautiful
Excellent build, Chris. Thanks for bring us along.
Excellent video Chris and lovely looking frame
Hi Chris, I work with wood extensively, moisture is a bugger, while you wait for it to leave the timber unfortunately timber can also suck it in. The conditions its left in can reflect that. Its all about where you leave it before you get the chance to seal it.
Really nice build man you inspire me to make one to and get back into slingshots again thanks man great job on that beautiful slingshot man💯💯👍

Awesome! Thank you!
Yeah man I told you about yew being a softwood. One of the hardest softwoods about. Lovely frame chrisy
Great video not seen you make a frame for a while didn't know that about yew being a softwood, popular in bow making. That frame turned out very nice definitely think it's going to be hard to give away but what a learning curve.
Small little dainty woman hands 😅😅😅😅😅😅 Lovely TTF frame Chris 😍 Another great video...
She's a beaut for sure, spot on pal 👌

@@CatapultCarnagehi chris so great to see you again i missed you. That residual moisture all you do is cover it in superglue where you think its gonna dry too fast. Also seeps into the wood making it harder. I do it always. No problems or cracking yet
Beautiful frame, I struggle to get much yew here, but plenty of Ash and Oak.
