Making a Boomerang from a Yard Stick

Instead of just having a rubber band, how about something to join them tightly together? Like a screw, glue or something else?

a yard stick in south africa is gum

More sanding more smoothing. The current Menards yardsticks are thicker than the used to be, so this will make it a little less aerodynamic.

I tried this,but couldn't get it to work. I'm a lefty, so I sanded it opposite of yours. I tried throwing it sanded side towards me then out. The best I could do was to get the boomerang to make a horseshoe shape in the yard but landed 30-40 feet from me everytime no matter how hard or soft I threw it. I even used the same store brand yard stick you used. Any ideas?

mine spins the wrong way and then goes for the ground
please help

wow cool make more videos of trowing boomerang and making them.

Excellent videos Kendall! You never cease to educate me. Thank you again :) I'd like to see you make a short vid for a paint stick boom. There are a few out there but they're all missing something.

Cheers

Now THAT'S what the YouTube is all about. A perfect thing to post dude! Frikin excellent video, I love real shit and practical things to see. Again, nice job here. It was pretty simple!

Good job!

Im pretty sure the Aborigines only use belt sanders when making boomerangs.

And hey, worked for over 40000 years that way, so don't mess with tradition!!!
