    Simple but a beautiful design and I really like that wood you used to make it. I wished I'd gotten started in making slingshots 30 or 40 years ago. I'm a old man now who can barely see and have alot of wood working tools but not the physical body anymore to make them. So if you are a young person and thinking about making slingshots, don't wait, start today even if you only have a few hand tools. Collect them and learn how to resharpen dull tools. Believe in yourself and don't quit. Thanks for sharing this awesome video.

      " ... nicht warten, sondern noch heute damit beginnen" - diese Einstellung verstehe ich und gratuliere terrydouglas2777 dazu, dass er die Schönheit dieser Arbeit noch erkennen kann.
      7:59 - da hat die Video-Bearbeitung des Guten etwas zu viel getan - mit dem Gerät ist so eine schnelle Schussfolge doch nicht möglich?
      Aber immer daran denken: ein Auge ist schnell auch mit einem einzigen Schuss ausgeschossen !
      1946 habe ich mit meinem ersten selbstgemachten Bogen auf mehr als 5 Meter Entfernung meiner jüngeren Schwester fast ein Auge ausgeschossen - der Pfeil steckte 2 Zentimeter tiefer in ihrer Wange.
      Sie selbst wusste 5 Minuten später schon nichts mehr davon, und mir fährt der Schrecken bald 80 Jahre später wieder in die Knochen, als wäre es vor Sekunden geschehen.

    These slingshot were made from old cherry tree. I had to make 50 slingshots from that tree. And from that 50, I chose only one. You put oil on it, camelia oil, let it sit for several weeks in a dark place, and then do it again. You also get a really nice sound.
