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!!
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!!!
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!
Btw, blue! You would be a great teacher on how to operate the equipment how to maintain a clean work environment and most of all how to produce beautiful quality work.
The joys of having machine equipment on the weld shop. It was live changing when i started machinning my own fixtures in the weld shop. It makes the job so much enjoyable.
Saw your video on "welding stainless to aluminum " i thought it was great. You approached the topic very well and were thoroughl in both your qelding and explaination. I couldnt comment this on that video so i came here.
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!?!?
Great video,I just discovered your Chanel.I love the craftmanship ! If you spray hairspray on before sliding the grip on, it will go on much easier and stick it in place when dry.
Thank you for sharing your video's and yes a wear my leather gloves to I'm in a wheelchair so the style of leather gloves I feel like it's just another layer of skin so when I was working as a welder fabacater the gloves were just part of me. Oh and I've been through many pairs in my life time they have saved my hands to this day. 👍
Thank you for sharing. Greens my color. I haven't used a lathe in over thirty years. Only with wood. Was nice to see how metal was used on it. Great lesson for young ones, how important the application of math is to fabricating. Stay in school.
Awesome build!👏 I always enjoy watching your approach to making things. To answer your question, I prefer the slingshot with the black accents on the handle.
Well done, I have no words, amazing work, abs. perfect, detailed and precise, like me, you are an artist in the work, this is not easy to find. The product is super brilliant, well done, respect and bow, from old BG.
That's really a nice slingshot!! Isn't it a little heavy?? And where's the foldaway wrist pad?? If you're going to make it so nice anyway go ahead and go crazy extend the elastic holding forks forward on an adjustable slide that also clicks into place during use and also folds flat when not in use and supply it with different length elastics for different trigectory distances and of course removable sights maby a pistol scope offer either arrow or bearing elastics and removable arrow brace between the forks. From what I've seen of your talents it would be a cinch for you sweetheart go for it!!! I know you can do it!!! Excellent work by the way!!!!
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
Fork on the branch, the old bladder from the bike, a piece of leather and thread. Knife and 30 minutes of work. So the last 100 years, Russian boys make slingshots. Free and effective.
Keep up the good work. Regular viewer, first time commenting. Thank you you the education in metal working, I learn a great deal from your videos. Many thanks, Gaz
Have you seen the homemade melting pots for aluminum? I can't think of the correct name. I've been tempted to make one of those. If he ever used one I think it would be amazing. How about using a 3D printer to create sand cast of what you want to pour? And then he machines it to a perfect finish!
I’m not good at the internet stuff. I’m life long welder tradesman. I primarily repair tooling and secondary (if that is familiar) My question is: if the surface being welded needs to be porosity free (Chinese aluminum on finish surface) if the material is basically unweldable where the parent and additive are leaving porosity and preheat does not work… are there any other options in your mind/experience? I’ve been doing this for 25 years… just thought I’d reach out cuz your vids/tig button are awesome. Ya I bought that! It rules the other 5 variable controls out there.
Hi there, WOW you've got some great kit and tools there my man, some real professional level equipment nicely done sir and very precise measurement and machine work your a very skilled individual indeed thanks and I'll be watching more of your videos 👌 atb Dave

I like that your videos don't have music in them. Don't ever change!
Me 2
Music in educational or how-to videos is a nuisance

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

These are the kind of realtime arc shots I always wished you would show !! Thanks for taking the time
We use to make wood ones all the time in the 80’s. Game is been upped 🤘🏼
Your shop is so clean it is obscene!
It's crazy how intelligent this guy is... Great video. 👊🏼
If ever they hold a contest for Most Jigs, hands down you win
Imagine having godlike welding and machining knowledge and skills just to make slingshots
I'd make an automatic...
Great video,I just discovered your Chanel.I love the craftmanship ! If you spray hairspray on before sliding the grip on, it will go on much easier and stick it in place when dry.
and is easily removed/replace with alcohol.
Damn that's slick 100% quality . Everything from the video to the actual slingshot👏 bravo
Nice, Beautiful Aluminium metal frame
I think this is the best TIG captation I have Seen on RUclips so far. Very impressive !
Wow, you're amazing at shooting.👏👏👏
Thank you for the time, effort, and money it took to present a better quality welding shot. Always enjoy the videos, Sir.
I am so agree!!!
I like the two with the band the most. Those seem more functional.
More 6061 metalworking/welding videos here on the 6061 RUclips channel: ruclips.net/channel/UCcuMSDG2svjR7BncF841GJg
Just like re-gripping a golf club old school style 🤙🏼

Biltwell thrusters
A most excellent use of time, material, talent, and machines!
5 secs in: YEASSS 20 min video from aluminium king!
greetings from the Netherlands
hi good morning im albert acong... your slingshot is very beutiful... give me one slingshot ... thank u
@@albertacong9986 Hi good morning. please give me your car, or another thing that you have Albert... 😫😫😫????!!!!!
Thank you for sharing. Greens my color. I haven't used a lathe in over thirty years. Only with wood. Was nice to see how metal was used on it. Great lesson for young ones, how important the application of math is to fabricating. Stay in school.
I think the green handle had the best-looking weld. Nice shooting there at the end, too!
I can say you work using technic and quality! Excellent job.
This guy just TIGGED the most precision slingshot. Not a tree branch. Beast A F
Awesome build!👏 I always enjoy watching your approach to making things. To answer your question, I prefer the slingshot with the black accents on the handle.
Like the OU812 zipcode. One of my favorite numbers!!!!
Love the snap on handle one
for the first time I see such accuracy and laboriousness in making slingshots, beautiful, and with the return✋
An idea by milling the handle is the most aesthetic and safe welding
Quality video and slingshot!
The green snap-on gets my vote
Your fixturing is awesome for the parts in this video and the final part after assembly.
Well done, I have no words, amazing work, abs. perfect, detailed and precise, like me, you are an artist in the work, this is not easy to find. The product is super brilliant, well done, respect and bow, from old BG.
This is good content I'm glad I found this in the comment section on Whistlin diesels Channel
very nice :)
the part deserves a plating Imo
I have no idea what kind of wizardry and dark magic aluminium welding includes, but watching vids like that is relaxing as fuck.
That's really a nice slingshot!! Isn't it a little heavy?? And where's the foldaway wrist pad??

The pro taper grips are a great choice!!
Black one! Love to have one!!
My favorite is the green Holder. my favorite color.
nice and clean work.
A fellow Microtech UTX-85 lover? I like the chunky protaper grip ones in black!
In blue looks good
Men love tools, big tools and making stuffs
I like the green one...green on the end.
The Stig of welding creates another great video.
My son said he loves the gray and green bottom one😁
WHAT A PAIN - in - the- ass guy, so neat, so surgical, such lovely equipment, so organized!! Then I saw you manufacture. Beautiful.

That's some fantsey shooting there pilgrim!!! Bravo bravo!!!! Also you might want to annodize your parts for longevity and looks!!!
Man Brother that is some amazing craftsmanship I like the last one you built awesome weld.
The orange is the winner. Definitely all beautiful pieces though! 👍🏽
My favorite is the your hard work amazing video..!!
Very good, i like this work,
Orange one for sure!
Sweet that looks really fun to shoot and get exercise at the same time pulling that band back and holding it until you get the target in site.
Really nice craftsmanship and technique ,👀👍👌⚒️
Nice Welding, not anyone can do that, as good as you!! Nice!!
I like the orange color one
Keep up the good work. Regular viewer, first time commenting. Thank you you the education in metal working, I learn a great deal from your videos. Many thanks, Gaz
I got the black one. Nice color.
I always really enjoy your videos. True craftsmanship and skill all the way. Thanks for keeping up the awesome content.
And I'll note I like the blue one the most. The snap on one costs too much ;)
What a precision work.. Its awesome.. Hats off to the best job.. God Bless You
the knife very...very sharp. I like it
I love this stuff with custom tooling. More like this please.... I'm also a member.
Sweet. Solid black, knobby grip and Snap-on one.
Power tools SCARE me to death! But I am going ot order. Thank you for sharing.
:D
Very impressive setup
The super professional way to build a slingshot👍. Machines and effort are awesome😲!
The snap on one is bad ass .but they are all nice .good job as always .
Nice my favorite slingshot👌👌👍👍
I love running aluminum. We don't get much in the shop. I usually have to mess around with scraps to keep my hand in it.
Have you seen the homemade melting pots for aluminum? I can't think of the correct name. I've been tempted to make one of those. If he ever used one I think it would be amazing. How about using a 3D printer to create sand cast of what you want to pour? And then he machines it to a perfect finish!
Ordered one !
Blue is the coolest one. Greetings from Poland :-)
Ladies and Gentlemen the worlds best built slingshot in history!!!
how many years before you learn this good of a craftmanship? Respect!
~6.0-6.1 x 1.5
I neeeeeeeeeeeeeeed !! A classy slingshot like this
nice slingshot man
That is pretty badass
Clever mailing address. 😎. The depth of tips are endless in this video. Thanks 🙏
Beautiful!
The Green one 😁 17:07
I like the green one
I like how all of his shorts are advertised beneath the video and they’re all 6061 in price in some configuration 🤘🤘
I’m not good at the internet stuff. I’m life long welder tradesman. I primarily repair tooling and secondary (if that is familiar)
My question is: if the surface being welded needs to be porosity free (Chinese aluminum on finish surface) if the material is basically unweldable where the parent and additive are leaving porosity and preheat does not work… are there any other options in your mind/experience? I’ve been doing this for 25 years… just thought I’d reach out cuz your vids/tig button are awesome. Ya I bought that! It rules the other 5 variable controls out there.
the sound of the knife cutting the band hurt my teeth
and i’d say the snap on one! great video!
That was one of the shortest commercials I've ever seen 😅😍 I have got to have one of those👍
that is a lot of work just for a slingshot!
Enjoyed the video...impressed w/bending fixture/jig. Would like to see video of that tool!
Hi there, WOW you've got some great kit and tools there my man, some real professional level equipment nicely done sir and very precise measurement and machine work your a very skilled individual indeed thanks and I'll be watching more of your videos 👌 atb Dave
You have wonderful skill and very smart , details on everywhere , love your job
All of them I like. I wish I have the last green one
That's pretty cool. You should send me one for testing lol
Your videos are great. You're a super professional, I was eager to see the next video.
