Nice one. Is that horn or wood round the handle?

[bobcullen79 1,495]

Here`s the one Im making,bit rough but its my 1st crack at one. Made out of 2 bits of polished hardwood plank,the glue let go so I had to glue and screw it together again(own fault,didnt take the polish off 1st)

I've made mahogany and teak catapults based on the "fish" hunter catapult. And recently I made 1 from 3/4" aluminium flat bar, that was hard work! lol. Im pleased with it though. I will try to post some pictures later.

Sweet. They look just like Fish`. How/what are you tying the bands on with cos that looks just like Fish` too. Looks well neat compared to some Ive seen(inner tube style). Do you reckon binding them on with a load of Bait elastic would hold them on? ATB,Rob.

Mine are whipped on with elastic bands mate, you can use theraband off cuts too. Fish has a clip on youtube showing how to whip the bands to the fork, its really easy to do btw. ATB bud

Definitely not an aluminium one! Lol, they are a flamin nightmare, they take so long to make that it wouldn't be worth while or it would be ridiculously highly priced. The wood ones are easy enough.
