Great DIY project and demonstration! Great camera work! Great non-musical video! Great starting the video without a 10 minute preamble and without interrupting the work to your express your feelings for selecting the different materials, which welder and feed rod size and type. I learned a lot by watching how you built it and you finished with a link to a relatable site. Bravo and Thanks!!

Never has there been such perfection built into a slingshot. Bravo 6061.
@randydueck8895 жыл бұрын
Interesting video - brings back memories since the very first thing I learned to build as a young boy - maybe 7 or 8 years old, was a sling shot. Finding a suitable 'crutch' in a tree branch was step 1. Finding suitable rubber from discarded car tire tubes from a local garage was step 2. Acquiring leather from an old shoe tongue was step 3. Cutting the rubber bands was tricky - if you did not run the scissor properly, the edges had jagged Z shaped nicks that would tear as soon as the rubber was stretched. We used braided nylon carpenter string line to assemble it all. It was a two person job - one person had to stretch the rubber around the wood crutch arms/leather pouch holes while the other person raced to tie it off before the person doing the stretching fatigued. The roads were gravel in the small town in which I grew up - that's where we acquired ammo. Did not take long to perfect the art of making 'low tech' but deadly slingshots this way.

Thank you for sharing your video's and yes a wear my leather gloves to I'm in a wheelchair so the style of leather gloves I feel like it's just another layer of skin so when I was working as a welder fabacater the gloves were just part of me. Oh and I've been through many pairs in my life time they have saved my hands to this day. 👍
VERY PRECISE! That's the nicest slingshot I've ever seen! Very good video! Good SAFE practices! Went to the trouble to make jigs & fixtures to manufacture more than one, so they'd be all the same! VERY NICE! Hey, everybody...this fellow know how to do the perfect "how-to" video! No talking, no hype, no commercials...just absolute skill and quality! We can learn a bunch of stuff from this fellow!!!

I’m only 5min in but had to take a break and comment. Your fixturing for a slingshot is insane. As is your skill level and craftsmanship. I’m going to make some coffee now. If I would have realized this was a 21min video before I clicked play, I would have brewed up a couple cups before I even started watching! A 21min video from 6061!!! Am I dreaming!? Is this real life!?!?

That's really a nice slingshot!! Isn't it a little heavy?? And where's the foldaway wrist pad?? If you're going to make it so nice anyway go ahead and go crazy extend the elastic holding forks forward on an adjustable slide that also clicks into place during use and also folds flat when not in use and supply it with different length elastics for different trigectory distances and of course removable sights maby a pistol scope offer either arrow or bearing elastics and removable arrow brace between the forks. From what I've seen of your talents it would be a cinch for you sweetheart go for it!!! I know you can do it!!! Excellent work by the way!!!!

Have you seen the homemade melting pots for aluminum? I can't think of the correct name. I've been tempted to make one of those. If he ever used one I think it would be amazing. How about using a 3D printer to create sand cast of what you want to pour? And then he machines it to a perfect finish!
