What is this all about?

I have been asked by several friends to make a blog about the diffident hobbies and technical things I think about, come across, and create for a hobby and the stage. If you have something you would like me to build or explore please let me know. I am always looking for new ideas.

Trebuchet! Yea those are fun.

Trebuchet! Yea those are fun.


I decided to make a trebuchet just for the fun of it. I wanted something that I could use in the back yard so I said it can be no taller then 2'. It took me about forty five minutes to put together, and it works great. It will launch a 6oz socket about 50 feet. I will have to work on accuracy and distances as I get to play with it. I would like to make a chart with distances with different settings and weights of projectiles. If you want to come over for a party some time I might just break it out for you.
