Hi my name is Bob and I live in Ontonagon MI, I like the original design of your slingshot. I also designed my own slingshot I call it the thresher slingshot. After watching your video I am going to try to make one of my slingshots from acrylic, Thanks for the great idea!

I cut my slingshots out with a band saw, its a lot faster than a hacksaw

Great idea. I make my own from Ash or oak only thing you forgot to mention is the thicknesses of the acrylics used and what parts to fit them to the handle and where to get them from. Great idea though.

Hi. The fork is made of 10mm acrylic and the handle covers are 3mm acrylic, the hardware is (rivet screws)15 * 5 mm with M 4 thread. I found the acrylic I used. Amazon sells acrylic sheet and the rivet screws. hope this helped thanks:)

Hi Tony it's Bob from Ontonagon Michigan,. I did a great deal of research on slingshots, and one of the areas I did research on was the speed of the slingshot, with one half inch clay pellet and 0.6 bands on my slingshot I can get over 300 ft per second.! By the way from the looks of your slingshot I would say that it weighs about 100 Grams. If your slingshot slips out of your hand and hits you in the face it will impact your head at around 800 pounds per square inch! It will take less than 1000th of a second to hit you in the face at full draw! So drill another hole in your slingshot and put a piece of 550 Paracord through the hole about 18 inches long and tie a good knot in it and always use the lanyard around your wrist. That way if the slingshot slips out of your hand it won't hurt you!

That's an awesome idea, why didn't I think of it...I guess I'll have to make a lanyard, Thanks Bob

@mechanictony5324 Hi Tony, I used to do safety inspections at a shipyard in Ontonagon in the 1980s I seen accidents that would give you nightmares. Safety is for most on my mind, for myself as well as others Glad I could help you out and save you a trip to the emergency room! a friend always Bob

Hi it's Bob again, As far as tying your own bands and pouches goes get some simple shot band tying tape from simple shot, I've been using it for about 5 years i have never had a problem with it it's great band tying material, You can get 115 foot rolls for 4.00 have fun and happy shooting!

It is better to measure rubber M0.8 or 1m
@mechanictony53243 ай бұрын
@@husaenhusaen-qi8be Hi there, I’m sorry, I don’t understand your question. Maybe, you are asking if the rubber stretches to 1 meter or to 80 cm ? The rubber in the video stretched to +-75 cm. Rubber size 180mm * 22 * 12 mm, and 0.7mm thick. Hope that helped Thanks
