How To Carve A Natural Oak Slingshot

[@Nighthawkinlight]

I've always loved watching your work with the rasps to get your shapes down. It's really cool to see complex shapes formed with simple tools. You're very good at it.

[@PJPEE]

NightHawkInLight nice to see you here aha

[@danielpiotrowski1681]

Yes, I've always been amazed by the quality he gets from simple tools. He 's mastered the use of his most important tool, patience.

[@taow]

Thanks! I'm really glad you enjoyed the video!

[@marc_frank]

@@danielpiotrowski1681 everybody can use those tools, that is not very difficult but patience is very important it's easier to do the hard/boring work if you know the goal that can also be applied to your whole life (read the bible)

[@magiccraft6300]

Hey get. It’s ok if you don’t like making slingshots. People just like your content. Keep up that good stuff.

[@tonywatson987]

Try microwave instead of oven to dry the piece, it avoids cracking and removes moisture from the inside. Nice to see you posting another video - we missed you!

[@jimmyrimshot1108]

Before I write any further, please do not interprete my comments as patronising,or anything other than sincere recognition. Your parents must be very proud of your achievements and the doubtless hard work and perseverance it took to get there. It's young people like yourself that inspire hope for the future especially amongst my generation (55 - 65 yrs). I will try and scratch some cash together at some stage for you, it'll be money well spent. While I'm talking money, I would encourage others to all pitch in, not just for this lad but for the many others all of whom have gotten off their backsides to make things happen for themselves, and not relying on their ill gotten belief the world owes them something. IT DOES NOT. I wish you all the very best for the future. Sincerely James.

[@josephsamsor1698]

Jesus that thing could genuinely be dangerous. Way more powerful than I thought it would be. Nice to see you’re making these videos again.

[@rubenibanez8967]

We all miss you thanks for coming back

[@Strangernightg]

Man how I wish I were still a young buck but now I'm way , way older now and I'm not so much into playing with sling shots but if my grandchildren what to play with them then I'll come back to this video. So thank you ❤️👍👌😎✌️

[@timbrophy]

I watched your first video just before watching this one. Your voice did a lot of growing up in 4 years. Love your narration method. You’re a good writer for videos. Very good project. Thanks for sharing it.

[@brendanswords4659]

I completely forgot about this channel. Loved this video!

[@Jesses001]

Good to see you back, and right back into that wood work. It does kind of always stick with you once you get good at shaping wood. Even if you do other things in life, you eventually just have to get your hands on some wood and work it. I learned that black looks good for filled in cracks by accident. Some dummy painted the walnut wood on an old shotgun stock black. He wanted it to be more "tactical." I removed all the paint by scrapping it off and sanding rather then using a chemical. The low spots in the walnut still had a bit of paint, and it looked great.

[@WayneEarls]

It's crazy how your voice changed over the years. Great channel.

[@Anmobgoccult20]

Well done, what can be said about such good and very meticulous work, I wish all people could be so detailed, but they can't, absolute respect from old BG. p.s. When I was a kid, I used the same detailed way to work slings and bows and everything. You will become a good and great master!!!

[@shamuswint4575]

Good to have ya back fella. Crackin' natural that is. Well done.....Massive congrats on the results and uni. Yer a grafter and a good teacher. You'll do alreet in life methinks. Good luck.

[@steelsmiter]

Happy to see you back!

[@DaveLennonCopeland]

Whoa!... He's back... almost forgot about you dude! :)

[@larrybair8074]

Good job. Sure beats anything I built back in the 50s.

[@cattymandan7779]

I love catapult ! I love slingshot ! Wonderful work

[@jasonmusic11]

Glad to see you back. This is still one of my all time favorite slingshots to shoot. even though I have multiples of them

[@danielgreen3715]

I carve out my own slingshots but leave the wood to naturally weather..never put on radiator as it cracks it as u see ..love the shape that you have made and hope you don't mind but im copying it!! Cheers

[@tonywatson987]

And congratulations on the A level results and Uni - well done and well deserved!

[@tigoda85]

welcome back! hope you got good results!

[@Viper6-MotoVlogger]

That design does look like it would be very comfortable. Well done mate.

[@impossibletm2618]

Really glad you are back!

[@katehenning9116]

gee i wish i had super human slingshot making speed like you.

[@marc_frank]

I've done the same a few years ago using the exact same technique. End result looks cool, but I attached the rubber bands differently, because I was using tubes.

[@maehay4065]

Your slings look amazing and so durable! Hard work really goes into your work and I enjoy everything you do on your KZbin channel 👍👍👍💙❤️

[@lukasbekcic]

Amazing results! You’ve inspired me to finish the natural slingshot I started.

[@kryptek-channel3725]

I’m with you since day one, and this video is the first one who looks pro Beautiful slingshot, really nice work !

[@hardy5288]

Great workmanship .

[@DAVIDDIAZ-iw2od]

It's good to see you again

[@gerardmourits8709]

Going back to your roots, good stuff man.

[@deflectingannihilation3086]

You are back and the video looks even better! Good to see you and hope you make more videos soon!

[@lupusdante5786]

You're good at making slingshots 👍

[@arqcm]

what a beautiful beast!! great job!!

[@ExtravagantFragrances]

I have really bad splits in my fork. It's not oak. What should I do. All the wood seems to eventually split.

[@tarstarkusz]

Looks good. Looks like you're pretty good with the slingshot as well!

[@smatchimo55]

glad to have you back and cant wait to check out the projects. thanks for the vid!

[@doveoo5]

Congrats on the school stuff! and Glad to see you back!

[@dmand2353]

That's really cool! I am surprised that the elastic bands are strong enough to hold it together.

[@got2strpk]

Proud of you. I've been subscribed since your first video and its crazy thinking you used to have such a squeaky voice when you started out lol.

[@timbrophy]

got2strpk I wouldn’t say squeaky at all. It was quite pleasant, though very different.

[@rorydonaldson2794]

I've really missed your content, great to see a new vid!

[@josh_donuts5445]

Love your videos. You always put out high quality content, with very detailed steps. Keep up the good work!

[@klausb.7505]

Nice one ! Good to see, you're at it again. Very inspiring !

Helo

[@theweaponartisan9080]

I'm excited to see what you have for the future, nice job on the A levels.

[@MangaGamified]

Now most of the muscle strain is on your two fingers holding the pouch. Amazing nice creation, but I typically see full wooden slingshots like sculptures or sculpture collections, rather than seeing something for long heavy duty use. The most I can compromise is a Rosewood handle with stainless steel forks, or atleast there's some stainless steel being "sandwhiched". I do so very agree with your direction, ergonomics and power(penetration).

[@canvandal4503]

New sub! Great frame. You have a gift brother! 👊

[@crs9731]

I thought that you abandoned the channel. Glad to see you back!)

[@Brian-Burke]

Great work! Check out how deep your voice has gotten, young man! Thanks for posting this.

[@Varaxfire]

good to see you back :D

[@mrGamer-yi2xk]

Good bro but I have 1 question. Slingshot band is long age

[@hardy5288]

Well done young man, another great video,

[@paulkazjack]

This is professional quality video!

[@darrenj3267]

Nice to see new content Henry and its good that you have concentrated on your A-levels rather than been overly seduced by KZbin. Just checked out your website and it's not surprising that there is some really good stuff on there. Carry on as you are and it's pretty clear that you will do well at uni and Henry Haslam will be a name associated with some very interesting engineering projects in the future

[@DatBoiOrly]

Ooooow returning to your roots

[@johnmccarstle3647]

Good to see youre back at it, i was beginning to worry you just quit altogether. Anyways nice job it turned out beautifull

[@williamwells7775]

ever casted your own ammo that would be cool to see. good video!

[@hardy5288]

Great stuff lad, you are truly a great talented young man, You will go far in your life,

[@BIGBUDDY291]

Awesome glad your back. Like your videos, keep up the great work.

[@antoniocruz4045]

Dude were you been, I've missed your videos

[@I.c.k.c]

Welcome back

[@StageRightvideo]

Welcome back Artof! Great to hear from you again with this excellent video. Glad too, to hear you have done well with your A levels and got the University place you wanted. I'm sure you will make a top rate Engineer with some interesting ideas. Loved the video, your editing talent make these look professional and good clear sound in phase with the image. Nice touch to have clips from your early slingshot work, lends "provenance" to this latest creation too. By the way I have "promoted" you from my laptop to my big screen with a chromecast gadget. Nice to see you using your homemade vice for this job, that it's lasting well and that it's up to the job. Keep having ideas and trying things out. Best wishes.

[@tomholmez12]

Ooooohhjj damn son your back. Hope alevels went well and hope more videos are on the way

[@axelsosa9704]

[@AngeltashaUK]

Good to see you back dude, been wondering what had happened to ya.. Keep up the good work 👍

[@brave7033]

Congratulations! 🎓

[@padlok1520]

i love your work! but dude, i grew up with wrist rockets. could you make a slingshot with a wrist brace?

[@VALIANTTHOR383]

Incredible, very well done

[@Tsquid61]

Yaaaasss back with the vids

[@yusuf2783]

Yessssss an upload

[@nw4x4adventures]

Hey man used to watch your videos years ago do you have a accurate blueprint to make these top design always wanted to make one

[@λοκ-β5θ]

Perfect videos 🇬🇷🇬🇷

[@REVERSE_BIAS]

Hi mate. Do you sell any of your slingshots? I'm from the UK and shipping wouldn't be too much of a hassle.

[@thomaspetrovic]

Congrats on getting into uni !! What are u going to study and where ? Love the content by the way !

[@Ryon915]

Would love to purchase a couple of those, please let me know how I could. Thanks

[@MrAndrew990]

Jorge sprav would be proud

[@slingshotwarrrior8105]

I make my pouches out of nylon straps with para-chord loops stitched to the sides.

[@migueldaniel2530]

What??? your are back???

[@cattymandan7779]

Do you have a "for sale page " I appreciate your work 👌✌

[@Gummy_Bear2308]

You could just boil it in salty water for 3-4 hours, it would be fully dry in a week, but without cracks ( forgive my english )

[@carlosramos2715]

Parabéns amigo

[@nickrieder9146]

Do you know the slingshot channel ?

[@dalroache]

20 mm ball barians that's barbaric . I thought I was cool cutting down a downed oak tree branch drying g it out cutting off the bark t reveal awesome pattern I been told happens when a tree falls and is on the floor some time it creates deep patterns that looks like you went through the grits 60 to 500 etc . But seeing this video alone made me see I wasn't great at all in fact your ARE great your slingshot design is so AWESOME I wouldn't know where to start but I have started as I wanted to have a slingshot with fork tip big enough to hold tapered bands from 30 mm to 20mm the 10 mm taper not sure how long the band will last I was contemplating putting on black gzk .82 mm or maybe 1.00 bands maybe it be too thick unit sure I will experiment as nowadays in 2021 the slingshot world fad n faze seems to be smaller ammo for greater accuracy and smaller thickness bands such as ammo 8 mm and band.thickness 0.72 gzk green or 0.72 snipersling black or yellow with 9.5 mm steel barbaric bearings or 8 mm steel ballbearings with popular tapers of with 18/12 or 22/15 or 20/15 or 25/20 for hunting its a minefield so much choice so many ways what shocked me was when you used massive size ballbearings still said they where to small etc????

[@ifell3]

Nice to hear from you, but mate lynx, really!! I know it was a Christmas present that granny TAOW brought you years ago hahahaha

[@VastkustSvamp]

Wow gotta sub after this! Noice content

[@ryangrant9403]

Are you going to make more videos more often

[@thewolfin]

School plus full time KZbin can't be easy. Maybe be grateful for each video's quality instead of being one of those people who pesters about quantity.

[@jasonmunday-aston6985]

I want a rambone so such but am incapable of making one I have a few others but all cheap Chinese ones, ild love a rambone of any sort by far my favourite but just out of reach for me

[@asdrubalbrandao]

Nice, how long took you to make it?

[@georgeharbour883]

The only appropriate use for lynx Africa

[@LBDRP]

When did that came out ? Sorry for being in the latesquad ,put new videos sooner

[@rolandomartinez9299]

Y watch the video if ur gonna dislike it

[@aimansyahmidzulkhairy909]

That look like rambone but still a good job for that slingshot dude.

[@BestOutdoorFun]

awesome

[@Kotdt1]

nice video

[@mybluebelly]

Yeah !

[@Slingshottonynguyen]

Woa

[@toxicx994]

You should make a new sling shot out of brass instead of aluminum

[@toxicx994]

You should use the teen sand casting method or lost foam
