Making a Figure-8 Slingshot Using Only Handtools

[@jerryking3208]

Rather than the music, it would be nice to here you explain what you are doing. Especially since the video is being sped up. Just a thought.

Awesome craft you made the slingshot.love the frame.

[@Phoenixonesix]

Nice vid. Would have been better if the knot tying section had been in real time to make it easier to see what you were doing. Update: Just watch the pouch and bands vid on your channel. All good. Thanks.

[@juwright1949]

Okay! I just want you to know that I have a bunch of POCKET PREDATOR and SimpleShot sling shots. MY ABSOLUTE FAVORITE AND THE ONE THAT IS IN MY POCKET, CAR OR BACKPACK IS YOUR DESIGN! Well done. Easy to make, indestructible and easy to shoot. THANK YOU! 👍🏻

[@TheSmoShow1]

Yes sir! Thanks so much. I carry one everywhere I go too

[@edmcgugan2079]

Nice job sir! Nice tool for pulling the bands through. Looks like a larger version of what my uses for sewing.

[@glennlewis835]

Maybe new hacksaw blades or a 4 inch grinder.

Hey buy a blade with some things called teeth on it. I think friction burnt through that 8. Better yet your production will sligjtly increase if you invest in some new thing called elecric sawsall! I hear good things. Keep living the dream you crazy romantic fool keep living the dream! Your 10's of adoring family,friends ,and fan base await your next stunning piece of art here on your channel. Will be patiently waiting right here on your channel so i can say i seen it first!!! Blessings our GIFT!!

What is the name of the part you use for frame and where? Thanks for replies.

[@BasaysayTv]

I also using figure 8 but my problem is my aiming reference,my anchor point is my cheek bone and gangster style but the aiming reference is too low using that method, almost 1 inches above the fork tip above the target

[@gearhead-ot4hq]

What a genius wasy to make $30

[@dennishein2812]

I believe a hacksaw blade would work better than that thing you are using that must be plastic the way it cuts.

[@Mr3dview]

He just uses it wrong. Not a very good metal worker.

[@brucebanner8397]

What item is that? I also want to make one

[@AccordionSqueezer]

yesterday, I made one just like that. I used heatshrink tubing for wiring on the fork ends, added heat and they shrunk down to fit perfectly cut off the excess, and the bands are safe from damage, it is very accurate. thanks, nice addition to my collection of over a dozen slingshots, ring shots, and slingbows

[@TheSmoShow1]

I never even considered heat shrink tubing! That's an excellent idea...

[@roberthenson6153]

A nice build video, but should have shown a few shots with the finished product. I like that “threader” tool. Looks like a fine mechanics wire, wrapped around a snap in a small leather thong? I ask as I struggle with the “wrap and tuck” method, as my fat fingers make it hard to work that finely.

[@TheSmoShow1]

Yea I get them from manufacturers occasionally when I buy band tie material or pouches 🤷

[@guysolis5843]

@@mr.powpow51 I suppose I can get a little grumpy. I have another channel where I fabricate straight razor scales and install them on refurbished vintage straights. And every time someone asks what I used or some other redundant question. Like the video here, what you're doing is self explanatory and all one needs to do is mimic the steps. All the materials are in the video and even in the description but in the end I see the maker of the video never provided the dude a list..it would be called extra and unnecessary work..good video, easy to follow and logical..

[@antsaunders6758]

Great work 🤘🏻What’s that rubber stuff your using over the ends please

[@TheSmoShow1]

It's just latex rubber tubing I bought on Amazon. 3/8in outside diameter, 1/4in inside diameter. They may have color options, although I haven't confirmed that.

[@FTA4evr]

@@TheSmoShow1 I ordered 3/8x1/4 "latex" tubing from ebay and it just won't stretch enough to get over the fork tips. I suspect that: (a.). it isn't really latex but neoprene or silicone; or (b) you have to have speargun band tubing for the elasticity.

[@TheSmoShow1]

I use a little rubbing alcohol or hand sanitizer on the fork tips and inside the tubing to lube it up a little.

[@FTA4evr]

@@TheSmoShow1 Tried that. Just not enough stretch in the tubing I have. I'm now looking for the Spearit tubing that you are using.

[@ibeendreamingofthetr]

hi what's that white material you use to secure the rubber to the microfiber grip

[@TheSmoShow1]

It's called "Amber Belt" or "Amber Tape" you can get it from many slingshot websites, and it usually only costs a dollar or two for a roll.

[@keyvandavani4889]

Hello, is it necessary to put on the rubber tubes? Or is it just personal preference? And why? Would love a reaction, keep up the nice work!

[@TheSmoShow1]

Not necessary. But It really does help the bands stay in place, as well as padding the bands against the fork tips. It also helps keep a positive grip on the fingers. But it's total preference!
