South hams hunter 8,921 Posted October 11, 2012 Report Share Posted October 11, 2012 Well haven't made a catapult since I was a kid so decided to start one. Had to cut down a bay leaf tree on Tuesday and found a very good v so decided to start one. Neatened the v and stripped it then dried it, once dried I sanded it but only had 180 so took a little while. I left a few bits on for character and also took a pic of how I hold a catapult and wondered if anyone else holds there's the same. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
