This was a quick video thrown together as I've had something else to deal with this week and not much time to make a Scrapwood Challenge video. I made one first out of plywood just to see how it would go and that one flew better. This boomerang came out nice though (I had my doubts when I glued it up) and I'm sure with some fine tuning (I ran out of time) it will work just as well!
Using quarter inch plywood would be a much easier way to make one but I had to make one using the scrapwood and this seemed to be the best way of doing so!
As always I'm happy to answer any questions.

I would like to see a comparison between the scrapwood boomerang and the plywood boomerang. Both how they look and how they fly.

Hey pask great work love your videos.
I was wondering think you could make a archery recurve bow with scraps?
I only got the idea from seeing you make the ply for this just wondering if it would be possible?
@@billroache6244 A bow would be an awesome project, but with the lengths of wood available, in the scrapwood pile, no matter how you stagger the strips with the forces placed on a full size bow I think it would have a very, very short life expectancy. It might just be possible to make the 3 sections of a take down recurve bow out of the longest pieces but it would be a very short bow
1/4 is much too thick. I have noticed mine fly fine but when they get sealer or paint the extra weight is far too much. I would plane to 5/16 before finish
I forgot how to throw my boomerang, but it came back to me pretty quick.
wow.
You made me laugh!
That was a good one mate
Good thing you already have one - faulty boomerangs are non-returnable.
I could never make a boomerang work when I was a kid. Was reading one of my father's Popular Mechanics and they had an article on how to make a boomerang. Found out that all store bought 'rangs (at least at that time) were right-handed and I'm left. I was about 10 or 11 at the time. Found some plywood and made a lefty. It was great. Thanks for reminding me of the fun I had and thanks for popsting.
thanks for popsting?
@@hughjaanus6680, you're welcome?
I happened across a pile of scrap wood at a construction site the other day, and guess what song started playing in my head.
Haha! :)
Glad you didn't say "I came across a pile of scrap wood at a construction site .........
Watching a Pask scrap wood video is like running into a smell that brings you back to a fond moment in your past.
Haha! :)
The moment you don't have your headphones on when you start the video and have to rewind so you get to listen to the scrapwood music intro xD
Haha! :)
It's starting to grow onto me
Sick guy....
40 years ago my older brother went to Hawaii for some High School music thing, and he brought back my younger brother and I these small "triangle"-shaped boomerangs made out of seemingly hand carved Monkey Wood or something. (several inches in length, well less than a foot -- not the weird-shaped UFO style like in this video) They must have been made by a master boomerang maker, because they were the best boomerangs I have ever seen or used. I've tried to find one like it for decades and have never been able to replace it. Not even close. We eventually lost them. One on top of a mobile home in a park we used to throw them way out over and one in a fig tree where we couldn't find it. You could throw them half a football field away and they would circle back and you could catch them. They were really excellent boomerangs. (now I wish we would have climbed up on the mobile home for the one and looked harder for the one in the tree)
"hand carved Monkey Wood or something"
Well if it wasn't monkey wood it had to be something.
I love the scrapwood challenge series, I've watched all of them! I like how creative you are with it and how all the projects are very different from each other. Great work!
Man, I wish I had dollar for all the times my brothers and I spent throwing sticks at trees getting various balls, frisbee's etc out of trees...but never a boomerang :) Loved to build.
I would love to see you do a scrap would skateboard! It's normally made of maple veneers but you could do it with camphaloral! Just make a press and then glue the veneers and see what happens!
That's a great idea, I'll certainly think about it! :)
Pask Makes I'm sorry you're dealing though stuff, i hope it works out for you! You're one of my favorite builders and creators on TH-cam! Keep building and if you do make a skateboard ever I'd buy it! Just as art for my wall!

I used to make these differently a long time ago. I stopped doing these and forgot how to. And now it’s coming back to me
You never cease to amaze me my friend.
🎼Boomerang challenge,
🎶Boomerang challenge.
🎵 My boomer’s whacked,
🎵 It won’t come back;
🎶 I’ll make another one out of scrap.
Haha! That's great Gary, you nailed it! :)

@@PaskMakes can you telll me the template you used, i wanna try making it.
You and the Lil'dog had some fun ! LOL good project
I love how the dogs quickly clued in that this stick wasn't worth chasing
The poor dogs are like “yea I’m not falling for this anymore”
You know that if it doesn’t come back ....it’s a stick.
😂
Good job; effective bench and tools, with sharp ideas.
Thanks for sharing
Give a bit of info on the "thickness sander" attachment, please. I like the idea.
I showed it better in my 'Veneer Light Shade' video earlier in the series! :)
Please!!
Yes please more info
That was pretty cool, man👍
DODGE! 🖐
Such an awesome project. Adding that to my list.
Hello Neil
Very good job 👍🏻 👍🏻 👍🏻 cool project. Great. Greetings Martin
That throwing stick has boomeranged on us!
Throwing stuff at a tree to get your toy back is the most whimsical activity that one never appreciated as a child.
Another scrapwood wonderful project! Superb use of this wood... :)
the dogs go wtf he's ruining our game. that stick isn't supposed to come back by itself??? we need to chew it to sawdust!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Haha! It fooled them for sure! :)
I love how the dogs are like "wtf?!?" as it starts to curve. :D
I always wondered why a boomerang looks bigger the closer it gets to you, then it hit me. Lol
"....Nice one there Senor Neil....!"
Dare I say "My boomerang won't come back"? Neat project. Cheers, David
This looks a lot of fun! Great episode. I have one of those mounted on my wall and I think I'll give it a go too.
Glad you enjoyed it Alex! :)
This is what I imagine life to be like, living in Australia.
I liked this just by hearing the intro voices hahaha love it
You Australians are the coolest people in the world!
Love your channel and miss your country, it's been too long since I've been there...
Thanks very much mate! Your welcome back anytime! :)
Mate that looked like it went pretty damn well! I'd be impressed if I'd done that myself :)
I used to be very into making/throwing boomerangs but I got tired of answering questions from people who always thought the returning boomerang was an urban legend, every time I went out
Forget the boomerang the audio is this video is fantastically done, I wish more channels did their sound that well
I laughed when it was stuck in tree. Awesome video.
I wonder what those dogs think about your crooked stick that fetches itself.
How beautiful those trees are. The nature in Australia is magnificent. You live in a wonderful environment, Neil.
Thanks mate! It's not a bad place to live! :)
Very nice project. I wold very much like to see more to fine tuning it and see it fly. All the best to you from Denmark
My 5 year old runs around the house singing the intro song all the time 😂
poor dog 5:21
That was great (seeing it raining somewhere else I mean...) It's a few years since but I've made a few 'rangs - never saw one made up from plys like that. I loved it! I think your leading edges are a wee bit 'blunt' - as you say, a bit of fine tuning. Also 'rangs are like people - they have funny moods and respond to perseverance. Thanks for that mate, really enjoyed it.
Glad you enjoyed it Mark! I'll do some tuning on it and see how it goes! :)
in the first throw the dogs were like " where it went ? i can't fetch it "
Boomerangs should fly perfectly in 0 wind. You need to add a "lift cut" on the underside of the left arm (lifting arm) out at the tip.
Thanks, I'll look into it! :)
Yep
Oh, how fun!
Excellent :) Because of you I want to make some new boomerang now ! Thanks
That's great to hear Francois! :)
Your skill and talent is amazing. I absolutely love your tool handle making jig video..this one is really fun too 🙂
Awesome! I need to retry making a boomarang. The first one I made only boomed. It did arang.
Fun...sorry you couldn't get it to come back to you. I know you will though...you don't just leave stuff alone. ha
for entertainment in free time, sir! Thanks for share.
Great video! Thank you for teaching me!
The madman is creating his own plywood
I bought a boomerang one time. I could never get that thing to do a full circle.
I made several boomerangs from a book but the one that worked best was my own design. It was a plywood ring with 3 short blades sticking out with power sanded airfoil cross sections, a little brute force 'trihedral' bend upwards on each and a little bit of upward angle of attack built in during sanding. It was very reliable with about half the range of the one in the video. It was easy to catch by reaching up through the middle as it finished its circuit by hovering down to me.
The major flaw was the 3 blades had different ply directions and the upward bends wouldn't hold for long. They kept flattening back to the plane of the ring and it tried, but didn't have the momentum to complete the larger diameter path it took.
Now I should duplicate it with identical blades glued in with the proper up angle built in at the bases of the blades.
I'm a fan of the omega hybrid style; they tend to have a lower more balanced flight compared to a classic v-shape. Cool video.
Great fun mate! Where'd you get the pattern please
If you watch closely, you can see the dogs learning that chasing a boomerang is a fruitless endeavor 😂
After watching other Pask videos I finally purchased a Shinto rasp. Used it right away. It’s a great shaping tool.
Wet wood challenge wet wood challenge!🎼
Now I have to do one hahaha
Go for it Alex, it's a fun project! Make it out of plywood to make it even easier! :)
Fun video. Love the scene with the rain in the background. Thank you for sharing! : )
Very cool !!
The dog be like : oh ! Bhai maro muge maro..nahi yaha majak ho raha hai 😂
Great video mate!
That was pretty cool.
Wow nice nice nice... Looks like fun well it is!
Thanks Vishwan! It was fun but I have a sore shoulder this morning! :)
@@PaskMakes Needed to warm up
I would really like to ear about the making of the intro song !! Like a little making of 👌
Thanks for sharing !
Me and my buddy been billing boomerangs for about 5 years now and we just want to congratulate you on being honest about your video your trial and error laugh out loud
Love it mate. Hope you get it to come back soon
Great video build. Seems as though it's not so easy to make it work. Good fun. :-)
Watching this in early April, 2020. I began following your youtube channel a few months ago. I imagine the smells of wood as you cut and shape those pieces. Your furniture pieces are very lovely; they let the beauty of the wood shine through. Regarding the boomerang, even if it doesn't come all the way back to you, it's still better than jogging 50 meters to fetch it back! Greetings from Florida! Hope you and your loved ones are holding up well. Stay safe!
Cool😉👍❤️
Nice work! I love your Scrapwood Challenge vids. :-)

Must be something in the water there, when I was a kid I had a boomerang, I couldn't get it to do anything noteworthy in the air. First throw and you've got it coming back.
I actually made a quick one out of plywood first, just to see how it would go and that went really well! :)
Mate that was really interesting, any chance you could share your template? Even just a quick photo and rough dimensions. Being a kiwi living in Ireland I haven't made one before but the kids would love it!
A bit of fun
Hi @paskmakes, I love your channel. I've watched most of your woodworking videos and really like your work. I especially like the yosegi videos and can't wait to try it.
What is the thicknessing jig you use with your sander in this video? Is it adjustable to different thicknesses? I'd like to make one for small pieces instead of using my planer. Any links or info?
Very cool my friend.
That's awesome! How did you know the tapper and curve to put on it?
Thanks! I researched others, 30 and 45 degrees seems to be standard! :)
Traditional boomerangs made by aboriginals have the underside on one end sanded away so the boomerang has lift on one end so it comes back to you when thrown vertically.
A cracking project that even i could do :-)
Glad you liked it! :)
The tools used are very sophisticated and modern .. very far from what I have .. very cool brother. Greetings boomerang lovers from Indonesia
I love Boomerang! Nice vídeo!
So how thick did you make the blank and could you use plywood?
It was around 6mm (1/4") thick and yes you can use plywood, it's a good idea to use good quality! :)
Nice boomerang..
"Boomerangs are just frisbees tailored for lonely people" lol!
Like what you do with the scrapwood challenge but as a suggestion, how about making a tombola drum?
I’ll come back to this video.
Nice nice nice. Goooood job. All the series scrapwood challeng is very very goooood.
Thanks - glad you like it! :)
How about making a tombola drum?
Maybe a scrapwood umbrella will be on the cards for next week?
Beautifully done
Tremendous!
Thanks mate! :)
cool video and make! just like all your projects!
This was a fun looking build!
Lovely
Cool. Cool. Cool
👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻😍😍😍😍
I once was practicing with a boomerang and had the perfect throw and missed the catch and nearly knocked my teeth out
You need to sand or warp the backside of the trailing wing to get a little more lift and it'll come right back without wind
