Slingshots: tying leather to surgical tubing

[usernamemykel]

If you use cotton string (a la Wal-Mart), as many of us do, you won't have to melt nylon to keep it from fraying, and possibly burn the (non) "surgical" tubing or pouch. After tying the constrictor knot, we secure it with a square knot, cut off the excess, and secure the square knot with a dab of glue, like Duco cement.

Thanks for the vid- nice sharp resolution you've got there.

"THWACK!"

[frizstyler]

@telecabinapesteneant think by yourself,you'll find out.

[EDPO563]

@telecabinapesteneant try using some small hose clamps

[sasuke0447]

Really cool but how do you do the actual bands and not tubes and i know some people say that with bands it gets more wide the closer to the forks of the slingshot is their a certain ratio that you need for that?

[Bajaury]

I enjoyed your video. It is great but where do I get these tubing for slings? I will appreciate if you can direct me to the source where I can buy these tubings. Thnka

[daboyzful1]

if you live in america dont answer but where do u buy your rubbers for your slingshot

[Tobi2x4]

@daboyzful1 I got my tubing from a hospital rehab centre. I have the stuff that people use to strengthen their arms and stuff, and my Grammie had some, but she no longer uses it, so I got it C:

hey do you sell? I'm just looking for a frame with the para cord wrapping

[redrider187x]

damn i cant get it to pull through after i make my slice in the tube! Im using the same tweezer / scizzors you are and nomatter how hard i pull the tweezers keep slipping off instead of the tube sliding through.

[D0zer74]

@redrider187x try dipping the tubing in alcohol before pulling it threw. You can wet it with spit as well. It let's the tubing slide threw.

[UglyAmerican00]

@redrider187x did you hear him...he used spit

[usernamemykel]

@redrider187x

It's a "forceps".

thank you so much if i never looked at this vedio i would have never knew how to fix my sling shot

[D0zer74]

@fishingandsurvival No problem thanks for watching.

[chikinlikin123]

how do you make a scorpion slingshot?

[johojo37601]

The knot you're tying in the nylon cord seems to be a "clove hitch". (I searched for "cinch knot" and found nothing like what you're tying.) Does a clove hitch really hold through repeated uses of the slingshot?!

What size surgical tubing are you using?

[wormgobang]

@johojo37601 itos called the constriction knot

[usernamemykel]

@johojo37601

It's a constrictor knot, similar to, but not quite the same, as a clove hitch.

[sikke3]

where do you get the surgical tubing?

[pipecover]

That was a real good tutorial. I learned from it, thanks a lot.

[deeds1957]

What was the cord knot called ? Was it A swiss sinch knot. as was I cant find it.

[D0zer74]

I have been thinking about making a video on how to bend steel rods. I dont care if any one copies my design. If someone wants a slingshot bad enough they will make their own or buy one. Thanks for the comment and thanks for watching.

[MrGhostLow]

@D0zer74 we would love to know how man, your designs are amazing and we all appreciate what you do, THANKS!

[D0zer74]

@MrGhostLow Thanks.

[tronclay]

cool thanks for the video, i was always curious how to attach the tubes.

Do you have plans on doing a tutorial for making the slingshots you show, or are you trying to keep it on the hush? It would be sweet to see how to make one of those.
