Rather than the music, it would be nice to here you explain what you are doing. Especially since the video is being sped up. Just a thought.
Brilliant idea 👏🤙🙌🙌🙌🙌
Funny in super speed😁
Thumbs up for Duff!
Might be time to swap out that hacksaw blade, mate 👍🏻
Okay! I just want you to know that I have a bunch of POCKET PREDATOR and SimpleShot sling shots. MY ABSOLUTE FAVORITE AND THE ONE THAT IS IN MY POCKET, CAR OR BACKPACK IS YOUR DESIGN! Well done. Easy to make, indestructible and easy to shoot. THANK YOU! 👍🏻

Wow 🇻🇳
Nice job sir! Nice tool for pulling the bands through. Looks like a larger version of what my uses for sewing.
yesterday, I made one just like that. I used heatshrink tubing for wiring on the fork ends, added heat and they shrunk down to fit perfectly cut off the excess, and the bands are safe from damage, it is very accurate. thanks, nice addition to my collection of over a dozen slingshots, ring shots, and slingbows

Awesome Diy
Nice vid. Would have been better if the knot tying section had been in real time to make it easier to see what you were doing. Update: Just watch the pouch and bands vid on your channel. All good. Thanks.
Very cool...👍👍👍
The tool you have to thread the bands is a great idea.
Great idea!

Let me know how it goes!!
A nice build video, but should have shown a few shots with the finished product. I like that “threader” tool. Looks like a fine mechanics wire, wrapped around a snap in a small leather thong? I ask as I struggle with the “wrap and tuck” method, as my fat fingers make it hard to work that finely.

I believe a hacksaw blade would work better than that thing you are using that must be plastic the way it cuts.

@@TheSmoShow1 I ordered 3/8x1/4 "latex" tubing from ebay and it just won't stretch enough to get over the fork tips. I suspect that: (a.). it isn't really latex but neoprene or silicone; or (b) you have to have speargun band tubing for the elasticity.

I use a little rubbing alcohol or hand sanitizer on the fork tips and inside the tubing to lube it up a little.

@@mr.powpow51 I suppose I can get a little grumpy. I have another channel where I fabricate straight razor scales and install them on refurbished vintage straights. And every time someone asks what I used or some other redundant question. Like the video here, what you're doing is self explanatory and all one needs to do is mimic the steps. All the materials are in the video and even in the description but in the end I see the maker of the video never provided the dude a list..it would be called extra and unnecessary work..good video, easy to follow and logical..

Hello, is it necessary to put on the rubber tubes? Or is it just personal preference? And why? Would love a reaction, keep up the nice work!
@TheSmoShow1

Not necessary. But It really does help the bands stay in place, as well as padding the bands against the fork tips. It also helps keep a positive grip on the fingers. But it's total preference!

It's a band template you can get them on Amazon or AliExpress.. and the knife is a rotary cutter. Don't use anything except a rotary cutter otherwise you'll jack up the bands
