Thank you very much!

Well done, perfect and clean, great and brilliant work, detailed and precise, no flaws, perfect work, beautiful product, great , respect from old Bulgaria!!! p.s. When I was a kid I made many types of slingshots and they were great, great weapons!!!

Subscribing in appreciation of the epoxy mixing and application technique. Thanks for that. I’m gonna find something to epoxy at work Monday.

Well made bit of fun there. Lots of fun and inexpensive. Might produce meat for the cookpot as well. Thank you for sharing.

Great job, as always, Gary. 👍

Nice slingshot

It's amazing.

I was absolutely amazed as soon as you welded the Razo together 🤯. Astonishing how fast you were able to do it so well so quickly tremendous job hats off and beers and cheers up to you Brother🍻

might've been that the rubber bands were causing the wonky shots. If the rubber was fraying unequally on either side, it might've caused one side of the sling to accelerate faster than the other, causing the ball to release inconsistently, since the release mechanism of a pouch is reliant on both sides of the pouch pulling away perpendicularly to the angle of the shot to transfer the energy efficiently/correctly. perhaps look at some of Joerg Sprave's slingshot videos, I believe he mentions the type of rubber he prefers, and he's been making slingshots since all but antiquity. All in all though a beautiful build, keep up the good work, really inspiring stuff!

Great job

Good steel sure does make pretty strings of swarf with a sharp bit

Great idea might be fun and fancy is enough to please me Thanks

Great vidoes Gary, As kids we made Catty's (catapults) just the elastic and a pouch (used the leather tongues off shoes) We attached the Lazzy (It was called Donkey lastic, don't know why) and it had a square profile. We attached it to the pouch by pulling it tight and wrapping copper wire around to hold. Worked a treat, used it by holding the two ends of the "Lazzy" and over the top of your thumb. When you didn't quite get it right, your thumb knew about it.

Hi Gary. Have some ideas on the rubber failure and miss fires Your fork gap is to small. As you fire it, there is not enough room for the rubbers, patch and ammo can't fit into the gap. If you open the gap by approx 40% and cut the patch size in half I think you will find a vast improvement. It is a great design and looks the goods. Keep up the great content and look forward to any changes with more videos

It could be all or any of those things. That was weeks ago and I've moved on to other things. It has been put in the draw with all my other projects that never see daylight again!

Great

I'm a tube man, always use them on my cattys. The tubes that your using seem to large for the catty, try using a smaller diameter. Reason for the rubber getting holes, could be two things. Have you kept the catty in the sun or let it get wet? Light an moisture are the fastest way to perish tubes or flats. Secondly check your fork tips, if you have even a dull edge that cause excess friction and cut into the tubes. Try matching the size ammo to the size of band rig, that increase accuracy.....practice, practice, practice

Nice job

Did you leave the file hardened?

Жыл бұрын

No, as you will have seen in the video it was heated up to flatten it then just left to cool which in effect annealed it so it was easy to drill. I didn’t re harden it.

Let me show you its features

The tubes are way too thick for accuracy. Also pulling the bands over the top of the fork should stop the bands hitting the fork and damaging them

Look up "Slingshot sniper tr" for the no comment video tutorial 🎯💯👌😎

OK very good 😐😀😛😍

The tube quality is not very good and also try keep your thumb straight...👌

Gary you know what the indians cal a vegaterian bad hunter. Just kidding i'm sure i could'nt do any better. looks good tho
