  • In this video I am going to show you how to carve a natural fork oak slingshot. I used to make loads of slingshots and if you're interested in any of the old slingshot tutorial videos check them out here:
    • TAOW Hammer Slingshot ...
    If you're interested in any of the projects that I've been doing over the last 5 months check out my website;
    www.henryhaslam.co.uk
    Its been 5 months since my last upload and its about time that I got a new project out. I've bee really busy sorting my life out, getting my A-levels and getting into university. I've got it all sorted now and I'm going to study engineering after taking a year out first. Hopefully on the year out I will have lots of time to make some cool projects and videos for this channel,
    Enjoy!

    I've always loved watching your work with the rasps to get your shapes down. It's really cool to see complex shapes formed with simple tools. You're very good at it.

      Yes, I've always been amazed by the quality he gets from simple tools. He 's mastered the use of his most important tool, patience.

      @@danielpiotrowski1681 everybody can use those tools, that is not very difficult
      but patience is very important
      it's easier to do the hard/boring work if you know the goal
      that can also be applied to your whole life (read the bible)

    Try microwave instead of oven to dry the piece, it avoids cracking and removes moisture from the inside. Nice to see you posting another video - we missed you!

    Before I write any further, please do not interprete my comments as patronising,or anything other than sincere recognition. Your parents must be very proud of your achievements and the doubtless hard work and perseverance it took to get there. It's young people like yourself that inspire hope for the future especially amongst my generation (55 - 65 yrs). I will try and scratch some cash together at some stage for you, it'll be money well spent. While I'm talking money, I would encourage others to all pitch in, not just for this lad but for the many others all of whom have gotten off their backsides to make things happen for themselves, and not relying on their ill gotten belief the world owes them something. IT DOES NOT. I wish you all the very best for the future. Sincerely James.

    Good to see you back, and right back into that wood work. It does kind of always stick with you once you get good at shaping wood. Even if you do other things in life, you eventually just have to get your hands on some wood and work it.
    I learned that black looks good for filled in cracks by accident. Some dummy painted the walnut wood on an old shotgun stock black. He wanted it to be more "tactical." I removed all the paint by scrapping it off and sanding rather then using a chemical. The low spots in the walnut still had a bit of paint, and it looked great.

Just checked out your website and it's not surprising that there is some really good stuff on there. Carry on as you are and it's pretty clear that you will do well at uni and Henry Haslam will be a name associated with some very interesting engineering projects in the future

    Welcome back Artof!
    Great to hear from you again with this excellent video. Glad too, to hear you have done well with your A levels and got the University place you wanted. I'm sure you will make a top rate Engineer with some interesting ideas.
    Loved the video, your editing talent make these look professional and good clear sound in phase with the image. Nice touch to have clips from your early slingshot work, lends "provenance" to this latest creation too. By the way I have "promoted" you from my laptop to my big screen with a chromecast gadget.
    Nice to see you using your homemade vice for this job, that it's lasting well and that it's up to the job.
    Keep having ideas and trying things out. Best wishes.

    Now most of the muscle strain is on your two fingers holding the pouch.
    Amazing nice creation, but I typically see full wooden slingshots like sculptures or sculpture collections, rather than seeing something for long heavy duty use. The most I can compromise is a Rosewood handle with stainless steel forks, or atleast there's some stainless steel being "sandwhiched".
    I do so very agree with your direction, ergonomics and power(penetration).

    20 mm ball barians that's barbaric . I thought I was cool cutting down a downed oak tree branch drying g it out cutting off the bark t reveal awesome pattern I been told happens when a tree falls and is on the floor some time it creates deep patterns that looks like you went through the grits 60 to 500 etc . But seeing this video alone made me see I wasn't great at all in fact your ARE great your slingshot design is so AWESOME I wouldn't know where to start but I have started as I wanted to have a slingshot with fork tip big enough to hold tapered bands from 30 mm to 20mm the 10 mm taper not sure how long the band will last I was contemplating putting on black gzk .82 mm or maybe 1.00 bands maybe it be too thick unit sure I will experiment as nowadays in 2021 the slingshot world fad n faze seems to be smaller ammo for greater accuracy and smaller thickness bands such as ammo 8 mm and band.thickness 0.72 gzk green or 0.72 snipersling black or yellow with 9.5 mm steel barbaric bearings or 8 mm steel ballbearings with popular tapers of with 18/12 or 22/15 or 20/15 or 25/20 for hunting its a minefield so much choice so many ways what shocked me was when you used massive size ballbearings still said they where to small etc????
