Make a trebuchet
-
Someone was asking about making a trebuchet the other day. Make has a 2 hour trebuchet tutorial today[^]. Cool blog/site that.
cheers, Paul M. Watson.
That's totally cool. I wonder if the kid will launch other things besides tennis balls when mom and dad aren't looking.

Precisely so. I was sort of thinking along the lines of what the kids did with this giant slingshot in the t.v. program Malcolm In The Middle. They launched egg, and used baby diapers (that was just for starters) around the neighborhood. Since it is Thanksgiving here, I was thinking of raw turkey innards :rolleyes:
