    Great DIY project and demonstration! Great camera work! Great non-musical video! Great starting the video without a 10 minute preamble and without interrupting the work to your express your feelings for selecting the different materials, which welder and feed rod size and type.
    I learned a lot by watching how you built it and you finished with a link to a relatable site. Bravo and Thanks!!

    Never has there been such perfection built into a slingshot. Bravo 6061.

    Interesting video - brings back memories since the very first thing I learned to build as a young boy - maybe 7 or 8 years old, was a sling shot. Finding a suitable 'crutch' in a tree branch was step 1. Finding suitable rubber from discarded car tire tubes from a local garage was step 2. Acquiring leather from an old shoe tongue was step 3. Cutting the rubber bands was tricky - if you did not run the scissor properly, the edges had jagged Z shaped nicks that would tear as soon as the rubber was stretched. We used braided nylon carpenter string line to assemble it all. It was a two person job - one person had to stretch the rubber around the wood crutch arms/leather pouch holes while the other person raced to tie it off before the person doing the stretching fatigued. The roads were gravel in the small town in which I grew up - that's where we acquired ammo. Did not take long to perfect the art of making 'low tech' but deadly slingshots this way.

    VERY PRECISE! That's the nicest slingshot I've ever seen! Very good video! Good SAFE practices! Went to the trouble to make jigs & fixtures to manufacture more than one, so they'd be all the same! VERY NICE! Hey, everybody...this fellow know how to do the perfect "how-to" video! No talking, no hype, no commercials...just absolute skill and quality! We can learn a bunch of stuff from this fellow!!!

    I’m only 5min in but had to take a break and comment. Your fixturing for a slingshot is insane. As is your skill level and craftsmanship. I’m going to make some coffee now. If I would have realized this was a 21min video before I clicked play, I would have brewed up a couple cups before I even started watching! A 21min video from 6061!!! Am I dreaming!? Is this real life!?!?

    You may like or dislike these videos. Personally I enjoy them. I also have the utmost respect for the workmanship of this particular individual. To describe him as being meticulous in what he does just doesn't do it justice. I wish I had just a little bit of his machine shop and a little bit of his skills. My hats off to you sir!

      He might be a little bit obsessive, but dear Lord does he do beautiful work? The way he always has everything laid out and clean. Light between Machining steps hitting the surface with the year nozzle. A lot of people would just brush it with their hands. This guy can build a Saturn V and it would fly the first time. Absolutely amazing
