How to make a tennis ball trebuchet - fast and easy assembly

I enjoyed making this trebuchet project, it was fun, i hope to make it better in the future. took 2 days but thats because i wasnt prepared so be prepared :). I'd like to thank Will,
aka epicfantasy
thats his you tube channel, visit there for some more awesome videos.
other then that trebuchet's are fun to build and watch them fling things in the air. in my oppinion there better then catapults, they fling farther if you have a heavy counterweight.
hope you enjoy the video. be sure to make this in the future, its fun and worth it!

My sun glasses fell off when I was cutting and I got something in my eye thanks alot now I have to see a doctor.

[CoolKidLolz]

@nixtermfc thats your fault for your stupidity ;)

[BIGECRUNCH]

baaaad idea any glasses will do? i watched a video in woodshop someone wore regular glasses instead of the real safety ones and they literally lost both eyes there face was just nose mouth n a forehead they had like a huge chunk where each eye used to be

[CoolKidLolz]

@BIGECRUNCH well if you know what your doing, that fatal error could have been avoided :D

[tomx63]

that was the most haphazard use of powers tools i've ever seen! regardless... great job on the finished product.

[MJFAN666]

If Only I had had the tolls that you do... God I would make a full scale one and storm a fukin city or something...

Dude the lighting makes you look like a killer.... Kinda creepy :P

[DarksideAirsoft]

I saw what you did wrong, your supposed to have a box kind of weight on, all on one side, not with the weights on both side's, cool design though ;)

Hey bud not being mean but a few tips: Use approved Z-87 Clear Safety glasses, not sun glasses because it's already dark enough in the room and try using some table clamps and wood sawhorses.
