I just got a lathe so I've been making some pens and bowls lately. I plan on doing videos on those eventually. If you're interested in that, you should follow my instagram. It's The Slingshot King
Great vid! *a little tip* I wouldn't use Olive oil, or vegetable oil on wood due to because the oil goes rancid..... So, Tung oil, Rejuvinating oil, Walnut oil *Beeswax*, are great oils/ finishes to use. But try not to use Olive oil or Vegetable oil, because it WILL go rancid, and leave a unwanted smell.... Cheers!
I think it's good that you left your mistake in the edit. So many DIY channels cut that kind of stuff and it make viewers think that they never make errors. Also great channel. Should have more subs.
From someone with 30 years of shooting slingshots do not shoot that fork those little nail will not hold during a pull and the fork will come back ay your eye ,we were talking about you on the forum you a good builder but there is no way the shooter is safe it may not broke first pull but it will break one day and without safety glasses it coming back into your eye,all the best you're a great builder buddy
Thank you, but I'm very confident that the forks will not break. It may be difficult to tell in the video, but the steel nails go all the way down each fork, stopping at about the center of the slingshot. On top of that there are two more nails that go through the center, which strengthens the wood at the crack and prevents it from splitting along the grain. This should make the slingshot easily strong enough for any bands, and I strength tested the forks with a 25lb weight to make sure.
Having a background in knife making, i would suggest putting the pins in during the first glue up when every part is still level and parallel. First put in the three sections of rod in the two layers of wood, then the one in micarta. If you lign everything up and clamp it in the middle of the handle area, then drill the holes out you will also have guide pins for the glue up. When you drilled the holes just build it from top to bottom (M-W-W-M).
omg your chanel has grown so much in over months that no powertool slingshot making video has over a mill views good job dude keep it up i commented on this video bc u turned off the comments on the video im talking about
so true this kid will make money the sound of handcrafted slingshots sounds so cool I think so many people will buy it not just on eBay but on amazon aswell
Thanks for answering. I have a couple blades for my bandsaw so I should be good. For the wood so you know any websites in Canada that sell exotic wood because Rockwell doesn't ship their wood to Canada 😟
bro u should keep going and maybe make more vids on how to make other weapons cuz if u keep going u might even get to 1 million subs! and u might even be the next ZDN
Slingshot King, I have emailed you about buying some of your slingshots, tell me the name of the ones on sale and the price your charging, I live in the USA.
I know this is the wrong video to ask on but since it's your latest i probably have a better chance of getting an answer. What diameter did your template have on the fidget spinner you made last time? I've got the template but don't know what scale to print it on. Love your vids man!
The mistake you made wasn't the hammering. It was at 3:32. Drilling the holes into the limbs made it structurally weak. This should've sufficed with two holes only, one in the base body and one at the neck, and *none ever* near the limbs.
Bro, I know you must have heard this a hundred times already but seriously, sell these! You're not just very good for a kid, you're good. Period. I know it must be illegal for a minor to start a business, but if your "dad" started a little online business, that would be perfectly legal.
That slingshot is very beautiful, nice work.
This kid has a future
ruben ibanez we all have a future
Another fine video, glad I found you. Youre truly inspiring. Good work fella !!!!
No one could ever match your style great job
Thanks!
The Slingshot King do you ever plan to do projects like sling bows or pens?

Thank you! And yes, I think its better to have people learn from my mistakes rather than editing them out.
You make a cracking job of these, well done . Keep the videos coming.
Thank you!

Pro tip, for a better finish, try applying oil, sanding slightly, and repeating until you find it finished.
wow！ one more amazing slingshot!
Thanks!
Slingshot KINGG!
hey dude i just saw one of your vids and there are damn great u are good of making slingshots and I also sub so keep up the great work man

Nice job
The black wood (I forget the name) looks like carbon fibre up close. Awesome job.
yeah it does a little. Its called micarta, and is not wood. Its made of resin infused canvas
omg your chanel has grown so much in over months that no powertool slingshot making video has over a mill views good job dude keep it up i commented on this video bc u turned off the comments on the video im talking about
your videos are cool
Nice
skill
You need your flags repointed buddy lol awesome work
Great , your techniq can apply landing net building~
well done man!!!, the same thing happened to me
Thanks! And yeah it's terrible when your project snaps like that
You should think about stamping your beautiful slingshots with your very own maker's mark.
awesome like ALWAYS LOL
haha thanks!
The Slingshot King you replyed! whas up I've a question where did you get you bearings for your spinners big fan
you should open a eBay store
so true this kid will make money the sound of handcrafted slingshots sounds so cool I think so many people will buy it not just on eBay but on amazon aswell
yay! more TSK
MORE! and do a face reveal when you hit 10,000 subs
nah
What do you use for bands and HOW do you attach them?
Nice work. Very inspirational. Do you wear a dust mask or have ventilation?
Wow such nice. What kind of air did u use to make this video?
can you cut the brass on a bandsaw? I have a almost stock 6tpi 1/4 blade and I dont have an angle grinder
I've done it before but it really dulls the blade. Also, I buy my wood from rockler.com in either boards or scrap boxes
Thanks for answering. I have a couple blades for my bandsaw so I should be good. For the wood so you know any websites in Canada that sell exotic wood because Rockwell doesn't ship their wood to Canada 😟
nice vid great tutorial
Thanks Ian!
The Slingshot King no problem

Where can I find brass for the pins?
Is there still a way to buy slingshots from you?

That's Micarta, not wood.....

continue postando vídeos
I know this is the wrong video to ask on but since it's your latest i probably have a better chance of getting an answer.
What diameter did your template have on the fidget spinner you made last time? I've got the template but don't know what scale to print it on.
Love your vids man!
It was just over 2 1/4 inches. Thanks!
The Slingshot King Thanks, i'll get going then! ;)
Where did you go?
I know the feeling man I was trying to make a slingshot from mahogany and the for snapped right off while I was filing it
Do you sell your slingshots as well ?

Daniel Sundmark 14

Hey m8 when will u be posting agani

King
Would you like to own your slingshot? because you love your slingshot. I would like to thank you for the slingshot from you. how to contact you?
How much would one of your sling shots cost
the price ranges from about 15-100, but I'm too busy with school work to take any orders now. Maybe in the future though.
damn you re so fortunate to have padauk wood btw can i use the same mule design in my videos and ill give you a shout out
Darren DIY there is a link to the slingshot in the description. It's a PDF I think IDK.
The design isn't mine, so if you give a shoutout, it should be to Toddy (the creator of the design)
Funnies when he made the slingshot snap
I saw u had none on your Etsy page
Dawson Gross probably sold out
Dawson Gross they are custom bruh made to order
first
how muck is it??
if you sell to me,how muck is it?
The mistake you made wasn't the hammering. It was at 3:32. Drilling the holes into the limbs made it structurally weak.
This should've sufficed with two holes only, one in the base body and one at the neck, and *none ever* near the limbs.
Can u do a slingshot collection
What's your favourite slingshot?
