One of the best slingshot video’s I’ve ever seen.

[@SonoraSlinger]

I live in the southwestern United States. The mesquite here is the rock of hard wood. And definitely has a beautiful look to it

[@ItAintMeBabe99]

Absolutely gorgeous ! And to think, I lived in Texas for a while. We used to cut down and burn mesquite trees, just to get rid of them ! That was before I discovered sling shots.

[@kennywolfjr.6413]

I loved how when you was setting up the material in the vise the whole time the ferret was like "Hey pops, let's go hunting!"

[@wrightyc]

I've mate the switch to a lighter set up with 8mm steel and can honestly say I'm converted. Thanks Chris! Legend

[@CatapultCarnage]

Good man. It's always a benefit to try new things

[@moonmonkey9595]

That’s one spectacular looking natural catty bud top craftsmanship buddy !!!

[@SurvivalMedical]

My son and I have learned a lot from your videos! Thank you so much for all you teach and show how to do. Your work is amazing!

[@joezaloga]

Thanks!

[@Slingsshootingandcamping]

Great video lovely frame love the wee talk at the end towards ammo keep it up Christopher

[@CatapultCarnage]

Thanks Mark

[@navaneetkrishna4733]

Super catapult. Super skill. Liked it very much.

[@randymichael8583]

Wow I’m speechless !what an amazing build!

[@alexanderson5140]

Nice shooting Chris, great natural frame build.

[@CatapultCarnage]

Thanks mate

[@auldreekievaper5394]

That frame is a work of art Chris every time you make a natural its an individual masterpiece brother 👍

[@CatapultCarnage]

Thank you kindly 🙏

[@masoodhamidi2245]

ok, beautiful The card was really great, do not be bored

[@mikemiles3068]

This one is fantastic❗️👍

[@adamvvs2644]

Great vid This world needs more of us putting out handmade slingshot making videos! Cant ever get enough of them Always great content

[@CatapultCarnage]

Thank you Adam I enjoy the build videos

[@hardy5288]

a work of art, brilliant.

[@christopheuhlin7309]

Beautifully crafted!!! What a piece.

[@stanlindert6332]

I keep looking at that big fat fork I collected. Now I have some ideas. Also the spindle sander hack is awesome!

[@robedilezeus5740]

Congratulations brother, the sling was beautiful, beautiful work.

[@loganathan3563]

I like your works. Very nice

[@mikemiles3068]

Beautiful slingshot and great tips.👍❗️

[@randycassidy198]

Man! That turned out really good!

[@ch0cchip704]

Brilliant video that tree fork terned out beautifully epoxy resin is brilliant for filling voids you can use casting resin a cheep way to get rid of the bubbles is a bait pump for carp fishing it creates a vacuum and pulls out the bubbles a vacuum chamber is a bit expensive for a tiny job. you can add color or flecks to the resin. That is some awesome accuracy.

[@canvandal4503]

Such a brilliant build. Thanks for sharing the process brother. 👊🙏 I totally agree with you about the 8 mm ammo. Been using it for a while now.

[@CatapultCarnage]

Thank you tater 😉

[@ignacio1212]

What an awesome slingshot mate

[@gypsychefoutdoors2099]

Decent! Liking that mate 👍

[@ATOMark]

Wow that is just gorgeous! I don't know where the 8mm steel hate comes from, I love it! I can see hunters like shooting heavier ammo but for target shooting 8mm is the ammo for me. And with snipersling black I reach 326 fps with .5 bands and 8mm steel. If you can't take game with that its because you missed. Lol

[@frankshanley747]

Very nice job done on the frame 👌 Well explained about the 8m steel.. Your old videos are a must see.. Especially for anyone getting into the sport.. Shooting tutorials are the best out there 👌👌 Happy new year to you and yours mate 👌

[@cubotpowerphip834]

True talk about 8mm steel. With the right setup and in the right hands it can do the lot. Hope you're keeping well Chris. (Phip)

[@CatapultCarnage]

I'm doing great Phip I'm enjoying my holidays pal

[@choppy7593]

Great job! I heard good things about E6000 glue. The stuff in the grey tube.

[@simontanner]

Excellent looking frame Chris 👍🏻

[@CatapultCarnage]

Thanks buddy

[@angiestoner1441]

I do love your videos and your slingshot building. You are an amazing shot! Jack

[@CatapultCarnage]

Thanks Jack appreciate it buddy

[@シンプソンジョンポール]

Fantastic video.

[@jaseoutdoorsin3075]

Absolutely stunning frame Chris, have never heard of that wood type, great vid 👌

[@CatapultCarnage]

Cheers mate It's mesquite in grows in southern states in the US, central and south America really nice to work with

[@nathanevans6331]

Cracking job Chris....your on the ball chap... happy new year to you and family.

[@RuneCarverLLC]

@08:30 knot hole, fill-in ??? Ya, I'm two years late to the party and often fill in with resin epoxy, but, if it's not structural i like that kind left alone and clear/natural, no color like you did it. This is a beautiful piece of skilled craftsmanship, well done! 👍

[@dylan54255]

lovely frame, was having a look at snipersling darts and there is a link to your video. delighted for you, keep up the good work!!

[@forkshootertb96]

I like that type ergo handle! Nice build and good shooting!

[@CatapultCarnage]

Thanks buddy 🙏

[@dazofthemoo1531]

Ended up a beautiful piece. Logo's great. Jeez your fast with that rip saw. Wee ferret got excited once you started shooting (I knew you'd make the shot). This time last year during school holidays, my daughter and I had a go at making bows. I remember looking for forked branches as a kid to make catapults, though they never ended up like that. So, this year we'll follow your lead. And I'll be happy if they look half as good as this turned out. (Would of liked to see you fit the bands). Huge thumb muscle bro, haha! Always get home sick watching you. Hppe you and yours have a fantastic & safe new year!

[@CatapultCarnage]

Thanks buddy I'm glad ive inspired you to make one I've made a few bows in my day too. Not that they were any good lol

[@stevesellers3170]

Great slingshot builds. These videos have helped a lot in my slingshot builds. Just got into slingshots a month ago. Can’t help myself I leave a saw in my truck. Always looking for forks. A few people have seen me in the woods. Probably think what is this weirdo up to, hahaha.

[@stoopid6656]

Beautiful piece of work and wood

[@S.Y-a-ok]

Hope you had a great Christmas mate. Great video. Beautiful frame, the satisfaction of bringing out the beauty of the wood whilst making a working catapult is so worthwhile 👍🏻 I've got a spalted Oak frame that I use like a stress toy, I don't even have bands on it😉 Be well, stay Free 👍🏻

[@CatapultCarnage]

Thanks Steve I'm glad you like it buddy Happy new year pal

[@larrymcmakin1153]

[@Andikmonitor]

hasilnya sangat keren sekali kawan 👍

[@josephlichtenberger7266]

Beautiful slingshot, love watching the magic of a branch being turned into art and u take it to another level my friend do u sell ur naturals?

[@greggcorbett9344]

Interesting comments about ammo - I started a couple of years ago with 9.5 but now shoot 7 & 8. 7mm still hits with a real whack, but can be difficult to see. Also, I think I get a smoother release from smaller ammo. Great video Chris!

[@paulhampson8496]

top job that came out lovley

[@CatapultCarnage]

Thanks man I appreciate it

[@JR.w1]

Another beautiful natty nice work mate and I’ve been shooting 8mm steel for 4 years now differently wont be going back to 10mm no chance

[@CatapultCarnage]

Thanks buddy ☺️

[@ricardobspescacomestilingu5887]

For me it was perfect without a word 😃👏👏🇧🇷

[@rafaelluvizotto3405]

Very nice vídeo. Thanks a lot.

[@francovalenzuela3210]

Muy buen video y esa horqueta es bellísima donde podre encontrar algún plano para poder aser algo parecido muchas gracias por compartir esta bella obra de arte

[@redhat4249]

Epic video cheers for sharing hope you had a good Christmas dude ✌

[@luigisnipe1550]

Hi Chris, I write from Italy. Very good video, as always. I'm very fond for construction with natural tree forks and I appreciate and love your work! To fill holes and cracks, I use epoxy myself, it's the best. If yI want a good natural result, I mix epoxy with a little amount of wood powder, residual from sanding or sawing, or with some contrasting colour dust or liquid. I share your pyrotechnic enthusiasm and the love for a good natural slingshot made with our hands! May I send you some pictures of the forks I try to do? Sincerely yours, Luigi

[@hernandotorres1234]

What a result, that's a work of art. It's great to watch the process, I'm curious to know how much time it takes from first sawing to the banding up point.

[@CatapultCarnage]

Probably around 3 hours but then you need to wait for the finish to dry too and it gets several coats. So over 12 hours from start to shoot

[@lazarovitor3676]

Top muito top parabéns.😮

[@jeremymueller2848]

Fill it with saw dust and wood glue mix !!!!!!! Mix it real good and fill it ,then sand it, beautiful

[@CatapultCarnage]

Yes buddy I use that method to fill cracks but I wanted a clear filler for this particular piece

[@Famo59]

Absolutely awesome Chris. Happy New Year to you and your family. Cheers from fellow KZbinr Famo59 👍⛏🍻🤓

[@paulmountford7549]

Lovely frame Chris, great video has always, just beginning to feel sorry for the local squirrels and rabbits, you were lethal without the spec's mate... Lol, hope you've had a enjoyable Christmas, and 2022 is a fantastic year for you... Until the next video, take care and stay safe Chris 👍

[@CatapultCarnage]

Thank you buddy I appreciate it Yes the specs greatly improved thee old vision lol happy new year to you

[@fomflip]

Luv IT! 😁👍

[@heachhay645]

Cute good job

[@alecweber3522]

I use wood filler on the cracks for my sling shots and you just let it dry then can sand it off it fills any large or small cracks or holes

[@Bob-t8m]

Hi Chris, my name is Robert Bussiere and I live in Ontonagon Michigan United States. I know a master woodworker he gave me a good tip a long time ago Keep the sawdust from the slingshot would you are using and makes it with wood glue fill in the gap with the sawdust and glue and sand it over and you'll never know it was ever there.

[@CatapultCarnage]

Great tip

[@martinamarie231]

Abserloutly brilliant

[@CatapultCarnage]

Thank you 😊

[@pavelpenev219]

Amazing 👍

[@CatapultCarnage]

Thank you 😊

[@MorrMedia1]

This is cool. What did you use for the bands? Is that a kit or did you rig something up yourself?

[@Aethalops]

I fill in voids in handles with expensive gems, just like on my daggers!

[@cozmo3778]

Nice catty bro

[@luisalejandrotunarzapalo7299]

excelente 🥂

[@dogmilker360]

you should try some uv resin flows and settles better can also be dyed ect and sets up in seconds under uv light...nice job though like these a lot

[@Mikeypaulslingshots]

does mesquite grow where you live? I live in the southwest united states in ARIZONA and mesquites grow wild here. and btw I subscribed you channel is awesome

[@superbalaur1297]

Beautiful natural frame! You should try 6mm or 1/4” steel balls and maybe you’ll have a revelation!

[@CatapultCarnage]

I have used 6mm steel buddy bit too small for me although I can shoot them quite well

[@alemaobatera5942]

Oi eu sou um grande fã seu

[@samudra_slingdhot]

amazing

[@ivogriffu6803]

Whats do You do to prevent tree forks from cracking? Awesome video man, regards from argentina

[@CatapultCarnage]

They must be cut and seasoned for a long time. You cannot try to dry out too quick with hardwoods

[@PPakQ]

나이스 👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾

[@stevesellers3170]

You can use wood epoxy. It’s a 2 part mixture, and it’s sandable and takes stain.

[@mdsamsuzzaman671]

Lovely

[@forrestdaniels6382]

I would much rather have a beautiful wood frame like this one rather than your aluminum titan frames!!

[@nickodotarot6552]

Do you ship this to the Philippines? I wanna have one

[@escobedormz1]

Cuanto tiene ancho en las puntas de la horqueta y cuantos cm tiene de largo saludos camarada desde Monterrey NL México

[@keithperry2120]

Super Glue/ Baking Powder + sawdust.

[@lobokgou6887]

Take wood glue and mix it with sawdust. It has good strength and is sandable.

[@charlie6actual113]

would be cool to hollow the center and fill with coulord resin

[@CatapultCarnage]

Good idea buddy

[@nini9976]

You can fill it with epoxy and the saw dust from the same piece

[@CatapultCarnage]

Yes buddy I use that method to fill in cracks in wood but for this project I wanted a clear filler to see inside

[@themanabroad7800]

How do you make the beeswax paste?

[@raynerkulinogchannel1522]

😳 wow

[@namodio12]

That's one gorgeous frame!!! Where did you get the mesquite fork?

[@CatapultCarnage]

It came from Arizona Thanks buddy
