Making A Slingshot From A Tree Branch

#AndyRawls Support the channel and get your merchandise here: www.bunkerbran...
For this slingshot I used a branch from one of my live oak trees. The strap was taken from an existing slingshot I already owned, I did not make this part. I finished it with oil on the wood and shellac on the string.

Hello guys, and welcome to the slingshot channel

[@GentleLettuce]

I really like videos like this because everybody can make this and because I love working whith wood

[@kellymeroniuk242]

I enjoy that you added the captions now to explain what you're doing! Thanks for that addition.

[@adam_loooong1735]

Who thumbs down a handmade slingshot video?? You’ve seen this channel. You know what to expect? So confused... amazing video Andy, keep it up!

[@tvacchino]

Nice! I'm 51 and I still have the Slingshot my Dad made for me when I was a kid. Many bottles gave there lives to that one.

[@chrisdreyer8747]

Great video. I’m pushing 75 years, my grandad made sling shots for my brothers and me when we youngsters. We went in the woods and looked for dogwood trees. He claimed the made the best shooters. I don’t recall doing that much carving, just notches on both arms to accommodate the strips of inner tube. Then we went to the dump and spent the say breaking bottles, laughing and enjoying our new weapons.

[@tnaproductions7690]

Honestly love this kind of woodworking, hand tools and raw material, brilliant.

[@tjschauer4339]

I love these videos. It's so refreshing to just watch somebody work as opposed to having a flamboyant personality talk the whole time. I have been playing these videos while I'm at work. Although I usually have the video minimized while I'm working, I love hearing the tools working and the birds chirping. It's comforting and makes me feel better sitting at a desk for hours at a time. It motivates me to get back to my craft. The video are very well made and the content is very refreshing.

[@TomokosEnterprize]

These are all I had as a kid. Hard part was finding an innertube. They were very precious. Nice to see you playing a bit Andy ! Thanks for the memories fella !

[@owenfulkerson7291]

That’s an awesome looking slingshot. Looks better then the one I’ve made. Here’s a tip for shooting it though. Hold it sideways, with the forks horizontal. Then use your top fork to line up your shot. Kind of like a bow and arrow. It’s much more accurate than holding it vertical.

[@AndyRawls]

Thanks for the tip!

[@dreamingdust7667]

That`s a beautiful slingshot!

[@jchrg2336]

Every camp-er knows how to make a sling, don't disappoint me son!

[@celestiaa.k.anancyb.5531]

That is an amazing slingshot!! Fantastic job on crafting it!!

[@stephendintino6076]

Andy, you have a great and beautiful property!

[@andrewooddotcom]

That was good! You've just reminded me that I need to make a slingshot :) Thanks for video :)

[@jonboyoutdors]

That's a huge slingshot, also you might want to tie the bands on with smaller strips of rubber so you can always replace them, cool vid tho

[@kevinhoppenworth6708]

I like it!! Maybe add an arm support, helps when pulling back, takes pressure off the wrist.

[@jeff-lindawells7760]

Good shooting Sir and sling shot making!

[@BruceAUlrich]

Enjoyed that! Thanks for sharing the process.

[@jimbolton2513]

First time I saw someone make a slingshot since I was 10 years old

[@_heilay]

That poor potato :( The slingshot is a work of art. Great job!

[@Krishkono]

loving the cc you added to the video!

[@Shaka_Vibe]

Everything you make gets cool points. 😎

[@jchrg2336]

Nice job, great video

[@Badgerworkshop]

Looks great and lots of fun

[@DH-ry2ho]

Great project! And, nice shot!

[@adriandanielbeck]

What about making a coffee cup out of wood?? That would be very interesting to watch and see you craft out of wood. Love the videos.

[@AndyRawls]

I like that idea!

[@sidneyprice5514]

7:35 He got shot. No!! Little Potatoman. You were always my favorite

[@mmeowchuu4195]

HE IS SO ATTRACTIVE AND TALENTED WTF

[@curm1778]

Nice. My people make these as a way to kill wild chickens for meat. Tie the rubber on the other side of the arms, though. Opposite side you have them tied now. It won't tend to pull away from the wood as you draw back that way.

[@AndyRawls]

Thanks for the tip!

[@jacobkreifels8116]

@Andy Rawls, you got any chickens yet??

[@rodolfome3427]

Andy Rawls where did you get the rubber i think its from a bicycle wheel and since you puted glue it wont last too long

[@thecattykid1101]

Think could slim shorten the hand and add thumb pads so it's comfy

[@danfraser7479]

Is that a fully semi auto projectile flinger? Fun video. Made lots of these as a kid.

[@jackhands]

Handy as a shirt pocket!

[@rawanfalah]

You really need to look into making a self bow !

[@AndyRawls]

It’s on my list of ideas👍

[@HaruVibes_]

Now you gotta hide in the woods and hope a young elf boy in green tunic comes find it to help him on his quest.

[@AndyRawls]

I hope this is a reference to Zelda...one of my all time favorites.

[@TheRandomSam]

nice one

[@skippylearn]

What did you use for the strap

[@huyguy4361]

Amazing 😂

[@chriskythreotis4686]

I use the same shape branches when I'm making 'stick men' for my grandchildren.....

[@kadyndodd9942]

What kind of wood where you using for that

[@BarefootBushcraft]

+ 1 like + 1 sup :) You have a really cool channel here. Awesome video my friend! Keep up the great work

[@aforanimal4174]

CAN YOU MAKE A BAMBOO FLUTE..?? BTW I LOVE YOUR ALL VIDEOS ..AND THIS ONE WAS REALLY AMAZING ..GOOD WORK MATE

[@Wildernessquestoutdoors]

[@mattiasagren3422]

Can you do a project where you olnly use carving knives and draw knives?

[@kanouscreations9549]

[@tomlagatol4448]

Decent shootin Andy!.....I’d offer ya a challenge. When I was a kid I use to take a small (empty) can of peaches...throw it in the air and hit it with my slingshot while in the air. (My word on it). [Cool lookin sling shot]

[@AndyRawls]

Wow that’s impressive!!! I need some practice before I can make that shot

How to change the bands if they break?

[@wapato17]

Would you ever make a bow?

[@sixpointforge5573]

Watch Fowlers makery and mischief on how to put bands on i cringed watching the part i could see those bands snapping loose and hurting really bad.

[@philipp-bn5bs]

why does such a happy potato has to die ???😂😂

[@AndyRawls]

Haha! Poor potato

[@danielpreilly77]

Picked the perfect branch...

[@RonaldJS]

As kids we made many a slingshot. All we used was a hand saw and whittling knife. Old bicycle inner tubes provided the rubber and a bit of shoe leather the cradle. To attach the rubber we would cut a saw kerf in the arms deep enough for the 1/2 wide rubber with knot in it and a bit of space at the top for twine to keep it taut and not slip back out. Some kids, depending I guess on whether or not their parents were racist, would call it a "&%^*$ shooter", if I ever called it that my mom or dad would have knocked me right to the ground.

[@thijshoffer2521]

Can you make a crossbow sometime

[@tbac2432]

Oh boy. you just started a war now. PTEV are screaming at their screens because of this. (people that eat vegetables) LOL. only you can make this into a fine woodworking project.

[@scottchandler8613]

Bands are tied on the wrong side and the forks are to tall witch will call strain on your wrist .but other than that you made yourself a good looking sling

[@tomlagatol4448]

Andy, Check out “Carolina Camera- The Slingshot Man” on KZbin....He’s THE man! And, as you’ll see, holdin the slingshot horizontal isn’t the key to success...least not for ol Rufus Hussein.

Andy if you are going to use posted sentences the least you could do is leave them up long enough for us old people to have time enough to read them. I enjoy your show especially when you are explaining what you are doing (with the spoken word). God Bless my friend.
