Benchy Launcher - Trebuchet Style by notcolinforreal

Last crawled date: 5 years, 8 months ago

Quick little trebuchet that I made for the "kids" to play with. The majority of the trebuchet was made with scrap wood (oak, cherry, walnut) measuring approximately 18" long x 9" tall x 6" wide. 1/4 Brass rod was used for the arm pivot. These parts might not be super helpful as they were very specific to the materials I had on hand. All holes are for M3 screws.
It seems to fire a Benchy about 9 - 10 feet with a 26oz (737g) counterweight.
Good luck.
