I have been working with wood since 1975. I am a self-taught artist. Growing tired of the everyday grind and feeling very passionate about the possibilities of woodworking I struck out on my own and started Knapp Studios in 1988. My greatest focus is on kaleidoscopes. That is how my wife, Shelley and I have been making a living since 1989. I also enjoy working in glass,metal and acrylic. Kaleidoscopes are a natural fit for me because they are multimedia and combine many different skills that I enjoy doing. For me -- to do is to be. :)
Thank you for watching.

My favorite style of video. No heavy metal music, over the top graphics,fist pumping, and discussions about pets or laundry. Just information,step by step, like it should be. Well done!

[@bye92]

I watched this 5 years ago and here I am today watching them again. This guy does a great job at what he does

[@adyastley6197]

Easily see 3 slingshots could have been made. But by far the best method of melting I have seen. Great Job!

[@bradfordramsden1669]

When you combine careful planning with pride of workmanship you get a superior product. Well done guy!

[@skitzostudios]

Randy, after watching several DIY HDPE recovery methods on KZbin, yours is the most successful. I am convinced that 1) your attention to cleanliness on the plastic, and 2) the 400 degrees, which was higher than all the others, is the secret to your success. Thank you for your knowledge.

[@triciaarchie3860]

This is so good! Thank you for your patience to instruct us.

[@MetroGradeGoods]

Wicked!!! I helped Clever laser cut that r10 Orange template. Thanks for sharing Randy!

[@hdrjunkie]

I need a planer or drum sander like that lol

[@Bogie3855]

I am just wiring up the same drill press in my shop and will definitely be playing with some HDPE. Opens us SOOOO many opportunities.

[@MrAllan9]

Vid 2 and learning, feels like a school tutorial.

[@PENFOLD1962]

Woooooooooooaaaah 👍 😲 👍 The marbling looks fantastic, each and every one of the Catapults have their own patern! Oh I'd really like to have a try at making the HDPE blanks for pen turning etc! But I'm house bound! Wouldn't you recommend this to be done in the house? I've really enjoyed your video's thank you my friend for sharing you have done an excellent job 👍 😆 👌

[@kevingill3339]

I liked the preying ramps idea to help remove template I need to ask why buckets Iv gone to using 30 & 55 barrels lot more material and can get them for free

[@Pragmatic_Viking]

Where did you get that template? Looks great! Your videos are excellent by the way.

[@robynlam5593]

Great info Randy. FYI, you’ve made a catapult, not a slingshot.

[@idagress2090]

Spectacular! Do you know if the melting process will work in an 8” x 8” Pyrex brownie pan?

[@raymondjakeman7379]

I would like to have one of those in my collection how much for the orange template design

[@bigtsmotorizedbikes4242]

Whats the name of the router bit you use to cust on a template ? Do you think this would be good for mass production ?

[@phyllisbrothers8517]

watching you make this thought of 2 more things you could madie use this plastic on 1st one i have an old bracelet that needs sets in I am wondering if how hard it would be to make small drop when hot to make the set 2nd ideal is making like a tile 1/2 or thinner for floor tile witch make it durable and different from everyone else think it would work?

[@leelizardwilcox6271]

Sold when ya gonna ship it to me.

[@1danhel]

Where do you get your clips to hold the bands in place from? Cheers love your videos and slingshots👍

[@RandyKnappWood]

+1danhel You can get all things slingshot related here simple-shot.com/accessories/flipclips/ every thing a slingshot fan could need all in one easy place. Have fun and be safe :)

[@taddtra]

Great video! How strong is 3/4" homeAde hdpe? Strong enough to hold a kayak trolling motor?

[@GraceGuitar]

How did the hdpe plastic not stick to the wood that you squeezed it with? Did you put parchment paper in-between?

[@billymackgarvinjr722]

I truely would like to have one of the ones you drilled for flip clips how can get one these are awesome

[@triciaarchie3860]

Oh. Do you sell your completed slingshots? If so how would I be able to buy some?

[@jeremiahchace5314]

It might? work to reuse the double back tape once or twice after routing out the shape by laying the templates down onto wax paper after removing from the blank?

[@vincenttung1372]

jeremiah chace

[@ayereese7535]

at 10:52 it sounds like a air raid siren

[@a_real_jive_turkey7772]

Is that a scout

[@hotshoter2]

How many 5 gal buckets to make 1 slab inch thick 8x8 pan???

[@EdemJansen]

is that pan teflon? I noticed you havnt used wax paper or anything?

[@WallStreet749]

Randy do you sell your sling shots

[@garrettliggett5082]

Can you melt pop botls like other plastic stuff

[@beardconsciousproductions3881]

The caps are usually hdpe plastic but most pop bottles are polypropylene plastic and they off gas very bad fumes

[@leonruvalcaba1549]

Put a "modern art" label on that block and youll be able to sell it for millions of dollas

[@leecoomber3877]

How much are the ttf frames please an how do I get one ,I'm in uk.👍

[@MrKeithGallagher]

Great looking slingshot. Do you sell them?

[@RandyKnappWood]

+Marsha Sutcliffe No I do not sell them.

[@zinc438]

[@moondog4313]

What do you sell them for.

[@ahmedelkhatib8367]

do you sell them

[@eddiegorden]

Randy do you sell any of your slingshots?

[@RandyKnappWood]

No I do not sell sling shots. Thanks for asking. Have fun with your projects🙂

[@datgreedymouse6860]

Will this work on pvc?

[@RandyKnappWood]

IDOL Petmalu No will not work on pvc

[@skyethomas8796]

Are slingshots a really popular thing in America? I've seen a lot of videos on them on KZbin.

[@triumphmanful]

Dude, your bandsaw guard is way to high for safe cutting!

[@alexanderturl]

triumphmanful weird, when I watched him cutting he looked like a grown man, you must have seen a 4 yr old.

[@peteryeung111]

That looks like a flat earth model.

[@buder5116]

too late i have to try this and make sheet for hho generator

[@lameesotoom7027]

لماذا تستخدم.. بالنسبة لي تشبه المقلاع أو النقيفة التي تربط بها قطعة مطاط لاصطياد العصافير. أيضا ليتكم تترجمون للعربي لنفهم تماما قيمة تدوير الخامات

[@darrylb4048]

Not trying to be harsh here, however, on your previous vid you cook the HDPE at 400 degrees and as a result you can see off gassing. Most other people doing this use 350 degrees and no poisonous off gassing at that temp. You really need to learn some shop safety skills such as push sticks, keeping your fingers away from router bits, etc. Nice work otherwise.

[@anonmg1]

Darryl BEAN Re-watch, and pay attention to the index finger of his left hand.

[@tittyrino]

Do not try this at home warning? Um most watching are trying to learn to do just that. Me included. I am making a stormtrooper outfit.

[@kalparanjan4121]

Please give me one for free ..😉😉

[@205jab4]

Do you sale these
