This is a fooking genious idea,it's perfect size for a kid to use an quickly put in you're pocket if you go camping or the beach so you have something to do and not be bored
just got mine in the mail, so f***ing clean. now easily part of my edc, and quite the conversation peace. im relatively new to slingshots and im already hitting bottles with this thing. so satisfied
Must be Karma, or big brother spying on me, lol.....but after buying 6 of these descenders yesterday, this video pops up in my recommend feed. Great job on these and I love the tip of leaving a cap with the tubing to cover the fork ends. I make mostly natural tree fork slings, but gotta give these a go
The Smo Show l wanted to let you know I came up with a simple ad pie jig to hold these descenders which allows cutting across both forks at once, and perfectly even. Get a 1x4 pine board about 4" longer than the descender. Lay the descender flat on the board, but with the end you're cutting off hanging over the end of the board. Holding the descender firmly and flat, trace the outline shape of it onto the board, then cut that shape out with a jigsaw or scroll saw, etc.,but just "inside" your line. You want a snug enough fit to where you can lay the board flat on a table and push the descender into the cutout and flat against the table, and have it snug enough it stays in place when you pick up the board. Then, just clamp the board in a vise horizontally, clamp it and cut across both tips at the same time with a hack saw.....clean and quick. Hope that helps. BTW, love that green one, would love to know where you got it, or a link / URL if you have it ? Also, are you on the Slingshot Forum ? Lot of great guys and gals on there that love anything and everything sling related.
No way in hell can I get the latex tubing over the fork tips, and I'm using the same stuff you are: Spearit #804 3/8"ODx1/4"ID. My fork tip diameter is 1/2". I'm reverting to my own method of wrapping the forks with 3/4"x3/8 band sets, which works pretty well, but I'll admit your tube method is a better alternative, if you can make it work...which I can't.
You have to get a good amount of the hand sanitizer in the tube and on the fork tip, and work it on there. Sorry I can't be more detailed. I guess after making over 100 of them it's second nature for me..
@@TheSmoShow1 I keep watching your video and will go back and try again, with plenty of goop applied. I'm looking for slightly larger tubing now, but it's hard to come by in relatively small quantities. Oh, well, it gives me something to shoot for. You're the man!
@@AccordionSqueezer I use x-flock heat shrink tube on slingshots, but the latex tubing idea seemed like a simple and elegant way of doing things. I'll try a slightly larger ID tubing.
Love your videos bro but if your making these a lot for your shop please tell me your wearing a mask 😅. That shit will swiss cheese your lungs over time.
Your video is very helpful
Thanks for the links. Cheaper ammo than I was able to find anywhere else.
Loved learning how to tie the pouches on.

Great video, thank you. I appreciate you walking through each step.
You inspired me and my brother to make those, love the fig 8.
Thanks you for all that you do
Great video! I ordered one from your Etsy store yesterday and stumbled upon this video today. Great seeing the behind the scenes.
Heck yea!! Thanks so much, that will likely be in the mail Thursday, the 30th!!
These are cool, I've been making them for a few years now too but I only sell to friends and co-workers. Thanks for the video though!

Lol, was looking into how these are made and apparently, i just bought one from you off ebay!
Thank you my friend 😊
Do you still make them for sale ?
Good video thanks for the step by step I have several of the decenders and I want to try to make a slingbow using a wiskerbiscuit
Please let me see that when you do it!! I would love that.
Very good vídeo
What is the lenght cut of the black tubing?
about 2 inches
Where are these clips found?
thanks a lot
What is ur band size?
What are the names af these clips?
Que presio tienen
I heard somewhere that blue anodisation is actually the hardest color, it will resist scratches better.
I did not know that!!
What are the size of the bands you cut?
Typically I use somewhere between .6 and .8 (depending on my ammo) and cut tapers from 25-19 with an active length of 17cm.
@@TheSmoShow1 thank you so much. I really enjoy your videos. Motivated me to make a figure 8 slingshot. Just gotta perfect the bands.
How many inches on the fork gap?

Try heat shrink tube

Saw these for 40$ online took me 5 minutes to realize it only takes not even 10$ to make
Buatin gua dong
Love your videos bro but if your making these a lot for your shop please tell me your wearing a mask 😅. That shit will swiss cheese your lungs over time.
Yes I typically wear protective gear and I usually make 5-10 at a time, instead of just 1.
Добрый день а можно узнать сколько такая рогатка готовая стоит
Be safe sir, never remove the wheel guard of the grinder 😊
Ok
Or don’t cut it and convert it into a sling bow as well
I've thought about attaching a whisker biscuit!!
Would be cool to see a video on that
