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

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!

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. ❤

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.

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.

Why not use a microwave to dry out the wood?
@CatapultCarnage26 күн бұрын
The process of drying in the microwave is very sore on the wood. It can crack badly and weakens it
@oTouchMe26 күн бұрын
@@CatapultCarnage What about other ways of drying out wood in a quicker way like electric heat drying or dehumidifier drying?
@CatapultCarnage26 күн бұрын
Typically any way you try to speed up the drying process can, and normally does end up splitting or cracking the wood. Infact they all crack slightly that's why you cut them longer than you need. I'm currently using a pop up green house but it still takes a few months unfortunately. There's nothing worse than drying out a nice fork quickly inside at a heat source and it spits and cracks so badly it can't be used
