How to Make a Catapult (2 MILLION SUBSCRIBERS!) | I Like To Make Stuff

[@hikaruyoroi]

But is it a siege weapon capable of flinging 90kg projectiles over 300 meters?

[@Konomira]

Came here looking for this. +1

[@sonobitches]

we got em R2

[@cmnakano8211]

This is the best thing ever, especially since you used old projects in it too!

[@jamesthompson9978]

No, it is an inferior seige weapon

[@Thepracticalengineer]

Hey Bob, Congrats on 2 million! thats a super impressive number. Also I like your 'some projects can also be quick and dirty' attitude a lot. Not everything needs dovetails.

[@Iliketomakestuff]

Thanks! I totally agree. More often than not, things just need to be functional :)

[@Thepracticalengineer]

Yes, on some of my project videos I struggle with this. Where I want to do it quick and dirty but its for a video..

[@MakeSomething]

Looks like you had a blast! So much fun! Congrats on 2 mill!

[@Iliketomakestuff]

Thanks dude!!

[@monaglewoodcrafts]

Hello

[@bmw_de]

Catapults? I hope you know what the superior siege engine is...

[@rhetorical_]

90 kg over 300m amiright!

[@jakob803]

/r/trebuchetmemes

[@marcisozols2800]

its common knowlage that the trebuchet is far superior siege engine

[@EvanAndKatelyn]

Congrats!! Can't wait to see what you come up with for 3 million 🙌😀

[@jamesthompson9978]

EvanAndKatelyn- The superior siege weapon- A trebuchet

[@jhjahdhs1549]

OMGG I just watched ur video!!!!!! btw love ur vids

[@olef0280]

Why not make a trebuchet it can shoot a 90 kg projectile over 300m you know

[@2008dzl]

Damn, I had the same idea.

[@bellini98-1]

Uhm...that would need a weight of 850 kg (1700 lb) dropping 2 meters, assuming efficiency of 100%... in case of a more realistic 65% it would have to be 1350 kg or 2700 lb

[@chadiushippocampius]

deus vult

[@ryanblackwell8321]

@@bellini98-1 Unless you use a floating arm trebuchet which has an efficiency of around 95%

[@samuelswihart4285]

Old meme bruh

[@herlofrumfragi4361]

Why not build a Trebuchet? It's the superior siege engine. Even a ballista is better than a catapult!

[@Iliketomakestuff]

*sigh*

[@deltaninjadrm]

**goes to garage to make a trebuchet**

[@ragnkja]

Herlof Rumfragi The catapult was used successfully plenty of times.

[@ARC--Fives-ro5hj]

A trebuchet is a type of catapult

[@jamesclare8800]

Cannons are far superior to Trebuchets

[@PJGalati]

At 3 million, I smell a trebuchet coming. :P Looks like a lot of fun Bob, congrats on the milestone!

[@WittAllen]

Tbh I was just waiting for Josh to launch the arcade cabinet at you. Congrats on the 2M, bud. Thanks for the positivity, can-do attitude, and education!

[@darthrevan2063]

Witt Allen lol ikr

[@NateTheGreat696]

What a great dad you are. Happy to be part of the two million!

[@hungrycolby]

I am so happy for you Bob! You are a genuinely amazing person! It might be sappy, but I nearly lost it when you pulled out some of your old projects to defend against the veggie-projectiles. Congratulations on all you have accomplished, here's to the next million!

[@Iliketomakestuff]

Thank you Colby! I really appreciate!!

[@giorgiar24]

I subscribed two years ago, i am currently a 20 yo italian girl in college who has zero interest in doing any of those projects but hey I now know everything there's to know about clamps, 2x4 and every type of (wood) joint and whatnot. congrats on 2million!

[@vepr5596]

BOB! you should know the superior siege weapon is a trebuchet! grats on 2 million of us too!

[@charlesotis6971]

I like it. You should do more catapult videos. And you should make a skateboard video. Thank you and I like your video!!

[@janbottos7817]

* cough cough* Trebuchet is the superior siege weapon * cough cough*

[@jamesclare8800]

you misspelled cannon

[@robertlong2661]

This is the best thing on KZbin right now. I love that you used fun things from other videos to play with the fun thing in this video. It’s no wonder 2 million people love watching you make stuff. Congrats!

[@phil.pinsky]

Huge congrats to you Bob. Well deserved.

[@Iliketomakestuff]

Thanks Phil!!

[@jamiec4447]

Congrats on 2 million glad to be here for this milestone

[@lfkw2484]

You should've built a trebuchet. Don't you know it can use a counterweight to launch a 90 kg projectile over 300 meters? That's what I call a superior siege engine!

[@Migillis]

Well, judging from the thumbnail it's nothing the average person considers quick or easy. The 3 mill subs may confirm this

[@Painteagle]

Modification ideas: 1) A rope going from the release point to the arm that reaches tension right as the arm reaches it's vertical position (or slightly earlier). This will allow trajectory to be modified more accurately. Also, attach a strong spring to the rope for a slightly less abrupt stop. 2) There was still a lot of flex in the top of the catapult. Perhaps a crossbeam would be useful if it were to be padded so as to not damage the throwing arm. 3) Maybe try a sling attachment for the throwing head. in my experience, a sling attachment can throw things much more accurately than a scoop.

[@LucDesormeaux]

Congrats on the 2 million subscribers! It's well deserved, you make awesome content.

[@timothybozyczko6469]

Bob, the end of this video made me so happy. Eating lunch at work with a massive grin. Congratulations!!!

[@IEnjoyCreatingVideos]

Congratulations! on hitting 2 Million subscribers Bob! Thanks for sharing the video with us.👍😎JP

[@NitroNovaMusic]

Already excited to see your catapult video today, dude. I hope you make a follow-up for the weapon that can fling 90 kg of projectiles over 400 meters!

[@CorsoWorkshop]

Congratulations on 2 mill Bob! It's great! :D Great project as always, and here's to another 2 mill! :D

[@almagill]

Two million subs!! That IS awesome!! :) Well done Bob! Keep 'em coming!

[@greatsonawesome6070]

I've been watching your channel for about four years now, and I am just amazed at how much you've done. Go, Bob!

[@RitchieE24]

Next week is the trebuchet I hope! ;) Building a catapult was always a childhood dream of mine. Maybe once I have some of my own I'll have to live up to that dream!

[@Budietoyka]

Well deserved Bob! We love you!

[@jlinker7]

I love how you showed off the durability of your previous work in this video :-)

[@RedSmithWorkshop]

That was a very cool build. Congrats on reaching 2 millions guys. Lot more to come!!

[@dave14647]

what a nice and happy family moment for you guys.......Congratz Bob!

[@Bl4ckl10n43]

Subscribed by 500.000,never regretted it. One of the best channels on KZbin. Always inspiring to do hard looking things easily.

[@rawlsawh2804]

Dude perfect would be proud. Congratulations on 2M. Love your work

[@oliverhoekstra2072]

gongrats! You and thor got a milestone at the same time the king of random 10 mil

[@adamolson4558]

Congratulations. What a great, fun video. I love all the past projects you used to magically chop food in half. LOL. Awesomeness.

[@aknottwot]

It is absolutely true, you like to make stuff, but we love to see every idea become real. Please, keep doing the same work to reach 2 million more.

[@jamiez1]

I liked the feel of this video, felt raw like how your videos were in the beginning. Congrats on the two million subs Bob

[@adamglendye]

2 million subscribers!!! So awesome!

[@loved012one]

Congrats on 2 million!!! Cutting the flying tomato and lettuce with your katana and other previous projects was my favorite part.

[@MrGuardcaptain]

Congratulations Bob. Amazing to see some of the old projects come back. Keep going.

[@JonnyBuilds]

Sweet catapult, and congrats on 2 mil. One of the first woodworking vids i ever watched was the secret door & I've been hooked since!

[@LivefreeanddiyTv]

Looks like y'all had a blast... congrats again on 2m! 🤓👍

[@Geeksmithing]

2 million. Wowzers!! Congrats buddy!

[@zacharyouten4525]

If anyone deserves 2m, it’s you guys, congrats

[@trevhaydon5090]

Hearty congratulations for reaching 2 million subs. Very well deserved Bob. Thanks for all your hard work making content. All the best my friend from North London UK.

[@steveslenderman]

Here I was expecting a millennium falcon shaped catapult. Major congrats on the 2 mil milestone! Very well deserved.

[@JerseyCWP]

Congrats! You have one of the best shows on KZbin.

[@TheAfroman]

Happy 2 Million Bob! Love the end where you used many of the things you built to hit stuff with.

[@realjester]

Congratulations 🎉🎉on 2 million subscribers. 👍👍👍

[@rman10002]

You are a large child...and I say that in pure admiration. Never lose that.

[@Iliketomakestuff]

👍🏼

[@alsmith1025]

DUDE! i remember i found you and you only had about 150 subs. Congrats!!! so much respect.

[@3Godfree]

Congratulations Bob to you and your family. Great build.

[@motzemog]

2 million! That is fantastic! Going to need an update video for a distance test now. P.S. Nice header from your wife. Great form!

[@pa6766]

That's awesome! That brings back memories. I built a smaller version as a kid in science camp. Congrats on the 2 million subscribers! Btw, Bob I noticed we share the same surname. Kinda cool. And to all the ballista and trebuchet commenters, Bob said this was quick and dirty. Give him some time to plan and engineer a ballista or trebuchet. Wink wink, nudge nudge Bob.

[@Myeungo]

I'm glad I could be here! Congrats on 2mil. You deserved it.

[@Fleenoreric]

Congratulations. 🎉 👏🏻 Thanks for all the great videos over the years. 👍🏼👍🏼

[@Parkhead_workshop]

A fortuitous build on the day of the (film festival) premiere of the Netflix film Outlaw King. It opens with a complex 8 minute single shot scene culminating in a catapult destroying Stirling castle. I know this because I was an extra who worked on that scene - this video brings back exciting memories. Congrats on 2M!

[@anthonylau3065]

2M? That's simply incredible!

[@MMedic23]

I can't believe you made a catapult.. When instead, you could've honored this milestone with a proper siege weapon. A trebuchet.

[@SouthernStyleDIY]

So awesome! Congrats on 2 million!! Can't wait to see what you do for 3!

[@Lostinafreezer]

Congrats on 2 Million! You looked like you had a ton of fun with this build! Here's to 3 million!

[@JosephMcPhail]

Wish you were still in Savannah, but I'm very happy for you. Congrats Bob.

[@Bardregan]

Bob, I gotta say that when I found your channel I began a binge and by now I'm pretty sure I've seen every video at least once. Your editing and energy make the videos fun and I've learned so much about carpentry and contractor work thanks to you. I've even managed to impress my family due to being able to fix and make stuff! Congratulations on 2 million, and many more to come I assume. :)

[@cbldude18]

Would've liked to see this video back when I had to make a catapult in 8th grade lol. None the less, great video Bob. Congratulations on the 2 Million Subscribers! Let's make it to 3 million!

[@diva2042]

what a fantastic accomplishment. 2,000,000!!! Great idea to bring some of your older projects in as a mini-look back. Keep making!

[@TheMarcball]

That second millon came zooming fast. well done Bob ! I remember the earlier videos when you had no beard, man. Thanks for the inspiration. Keep on trucking (from France) !

[@alsutton3779]

Congratulations Bob - brilliant achievement!

[@CMRWoodworks]

Congrats Bob!

Super fun video. I love when you get the whole family involved. Congrats on the 2 mil.

Wow, 2 million, didn't even realize it was that high already. Congrats Bob! So many awesome projects over the years that made me inspired to start making too. Thanks for all the great content!

[@Iliketomakestuff]

Thanks so much!

[@roweproductions9424]

Congrat on the 2 million! Good to see the katana again. Probably my favourite build you've done 🙂

[@firebird8600]

Congratulations on 2 million, Bob!! It seems like 1 million was not so long ago.

[@TheShavingWoodWorkshop]

Lol, great video and very fun build Bob. Congrats on 2 mil, certainly deserved .

[@jasoncoleman2940]

I didn't know that watching Bob's kids being pelted with marshmallows was what I needed to see today, but it sure made my day brighter. Thanks for all your hard work and congratulations on hitting 2 million! Also, you should have tried using the pudding blaster to shoot down some flying veggies.

[@hansiejansevanrensburg291]

When the idea is for the kids but it ends up being so cool that the adults can't let it go. 😃. I love your channels and thanks for all the intertainment.

[@secollectiv5086]

Congrats Bob! What an awesome tribute to past projects at the end! Look out 3 million here we come

[@floflotantan]

i love the Dirty way you make it !! quick and simple, enjoyable !! thanks ! Edit , the end is awesome !!

[@josilasik]

Congrats. I looked seeing old props/projects showing up at the end. Love the channel

[@bigdaddycole77]

Awesome build! I'm thinking of holding a cardboard catapult challenge with my friends now! Congrats on 2 million!

[@mkam7360]

Congratulations on 2 million. Well deserved and enjoy all your content.

Congratulations! Hope you reach 10M someday

Congrats on 2m. Great project.

[@Lutzboater]

Congratulations on 2 mil. Another great video. Bet the wild life will enjoy all the food scraps you left for them.

[@DylansDIYWorkshop]

Looks awesome! Congratulations on 2 million!

Congrats Bob! Here's to the next 2,000,000!

[@DrivinandVibin]

I think we should install this on our vintage Airstream roof 😜🚐💨

[@clintdurham2584]

been watching every week since the zip-line video! I've enjoyed the content and inspiration you've provided

[@fullquiver]

Congrats! So cool, and fun to watch. Keep up the great work. Thanks!

[@lavaguava2648]

I like how a special video is the same as every other video. The mark of a good youtuber (in my opinion [not that I have any experience]) is when something special is just every video.

[@TheBarnacleBlimp]

Congratulations. Thank you for the great videos. 😀😊☺

[@0001Bassman]

Amazing! I'm so happy for you! Looks like the bet you did time ago finally paid off! Stay awesome Bob! Cheers from Italy!
