The Trebuchet Project Scaled Down about Half size

This is a neat little pair of videos submitted by youtube visitor Adil (You can visit his youtube page here). He made his trebuchet from the plans here on this website but he made his half size of mine which is kind of neat! He also made a couple of nice changes that make it easier to build and easier to use.In the video he gives us instructions and explanation of how he built this. -Instead of a string and pouch to launch the projectile he attached a spoon and uses that to put the projectile in. This is a great idea for you to try if you are having trouble with the string and pouch. Thanks a bunch for these videos Adil!!!

Part 1 of the project shows you how to make the trebuchet from some small pieces of wood. This is at half the scale of the regular trebuchet project.

Part 2: Shows the completion of the Trebuchet and shows it firing at the mini castle!

This is a Storm The Castle Project
