Slingshots: tying leather to surgical tubing

I have gotten a lot of e-mails on how to tie the leather pouch to the surgical tubing bands. Here is a video about how to do it. Thanks for watching.

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.

@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.

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

@redrider187x

It's a "forceps".

[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!"

@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:

dude i have a metal slingshot and for some reason my right surgical tube keeps sliding off...what to do? QQ please reply

[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?
