Looks like fun! When I was a child, many moons ago, I made a giant sling shot using my Dad’s sawhorse and a bicycle tire tube cut in half and that thing would fling fruit quite a distance.

I have a model Trebuchet kit that I still haven’t had time to assemble. I should do that... soon.
It’s from New Stirling Arms, and will be about 30” high, and it’s supposed to throw golf balls very nicely. It’s a replica model of the trebuchet at Caerphilly Castle.
I think it would be fun to have on my desk at work. :-)

"They also threw dead people," said Dennis Fallon, dean of engineering at The Citadel, a military college with about 2,100 male and female cadets. "What we have done in military history is not always something to be proud of." Oh, I dunno... it worked. Crude bio warfare-- but effective.

You just KNOW I had to be here for this. Built a small one for the local grandbabies. It flings pennies and marbles across the yard.
They want me to build a larger one.
They would be boys. ;)

Would you, sir, have any picture of pianos being launched by trebouchet?
