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!!
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!?!?
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.
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.
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!!!
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
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
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.
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!!!!
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.
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 have only one question, because all I have seen is awesome and I'm going to learn the way about welding and not only about aluminum but steel welding also. I have an cheaper welding mask. NOW I know that I can do more and better but my mask doesn't do the job it is made for. Can you suggest me some model that I could buy for my job?
Impressive! Makes me want to take out a huge bank loan, mortgage my house and build a huge metal fab shop just to build those frikn sweet slingshots! Too awesome too cool! Thanks 6061!
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.
I would like to have a Snap-On Handle. I have several extra handles I can spare, which size does it use and how much for one with a Snap-On Handle? FYI! I wear XXL Gloves, so I am guessing the large handle is needed. That would look so cool in my Snap-On Tool Box! Almost everything I own is Orange, I do prefer it!
Obviously u r an expert in aluminium industry , as everywhere is ally even in ur vice teeth , But I’m just wondering what r u fabricating in that warehouse ? Ps, the best ally welding video ever 👍
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.

Your shop is so clean it is obscene!
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... 😫😫😫????!!!!!
We use to make wood ones all the time in the 80’s. Game is been upped 🤘🏼
A most excellent use of time, material, talent, and machines!
I think this is the best TIG captation I have Seen on UA-cam so far. Very impressive !
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.
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 can say you work using technic and quality! Excellent job.
It's crazy how intelligent this guy is... Great video. 👊🏼
Damn that's slick 100% quality . Everything from the video to the actual slingshot👏 bravo
I think the green handle had the best-looking weld. Nice shooting there at the end, too!
If ever they hold a contest for Most Jigs, hands down you win
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.
Wow, you're amazing at shooting.👏👏👏

Nice, Beautiful Aluminium metal frame
Imagine having godlike welding and machining knowledge and skills just to make slingshots
I'd make an automatic...
for the first time I see such accuracy and laboriousness in making slingshots, beautiful, and with the return✋
I like the two with the band the most. Those seem more functional.
What a precision work.. Its awesome.. Hats off to the best job.. God Bless You
Your fixturing is awesome for the parts in this video and the final part after assembly.
Man Brother that is some amazing craftsmanship I like the last one you built awesome weld.
This guy just TIGGED the most precision slingshot. Not a tree branch. Beast A F
Being a motorcycle guy I have to choose a ProTaper black!
Grrr
Biltwell thrusters
The Stig of welding creates another great video.
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
WHAT A PAIN - in - the- ass guy, so neat, so surgical, such lovely equipment, so organized!! Then I saw you manufacture. Beautiful.
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.

The orange is the winner. Definitely all beautiful pieces though! 👍🏽
Ladies and Gentlemen the worlds best built slingshot in history!!!
You have wonderful skill and very smart , details on everywhere , love your job
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 ;)
Nice Welding, not anyone can do that, as good as you!! Nice!!
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.
My favorite is the your hard work amazing video..!!
I love this stuff with custom tooling. More like this please.... I'm also a member.
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.
Blue is the coolest one. Greetings from Poland :-)
This is good content I'm glad I found this in the comment section on Whistlin diesels Channel
Like the OU812 zipcode. One of my favorite numbers!!!!
Love the snap on handle one
Quality video and slingshot!

Enjoyed the video...impressed w/bending fixture/jig. Would like to see video of that tool!
Really nice craftsmanship and technique ,👀👍👌⚒️
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.
An idea by milling the handle is the most aesthetic and safe welding
Wow, really appreciate you showing all you do!
The green snap-on gets my vote
I like the black the best, exellent craftsmanship.
I neeeeeeeeeeeeeeed !! A classy slingshot like this

The pro taper grips are a great choice!!
Beautiful job amigo thanks for sharing long life to you amigo
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 .
Sweet. Solid black, knobby grip and Snap-on one.
nice and clean work.
how many years before you learn this good of a craftmanship? Respect!
~6.0-6.1 x 1.5
Very good, i like this work,
The Cadillac of slingshots - but wow, that's a LOT of work.
That's some fantsey shooting there pilgrim!!! Bravo bravo!!!! Also you might want to annodize your parts for longevity and looks!!!
So much precision I like it 😁
A fellow Microtech UTX-85 lover? I like the chunky protaper grip ones in black!
I have only one question, because all I have seen is awesome and I'm going to learn the way about welding and not only about aluminum but steel welding also. I have an cheaper welding mask. NOW I know that I can do more and better but my mask doesn't do the job it is made for. Can you suggest me some model that I could buy for my job?
My son said he loves the gray and green bottom one😁
Men love tools, big tools and making stuffs
the knife very...very sharp. I like it
NICE! good sharpshooting too... just saw a vid of darts being fired via slingshot good back up artillery !
Clever mailing address. 😎. The depth of tips are endless in this video. Thanks 🙏
Impressive!
Makes me want to take out a huge bank loan, mortgage my house and build a huge metal fab shop just to build those frikn sweet slingshots! Too awesome too cool! Thanks 6061!

Your videos are great. You're a super professional, I was eager to see the next video.
Nice my favorite slingshot👌👌👍👍
Where can I get one of those catapults please let me know ASAP thank you 😊

I like the blue one, awesome,neat, beautiful...
My favorite is the green Holder. my favorite color.
Power tools SCARE me to death! But I am going ot order. Thank you for sharing.
:D
I like how all of his shorts are advertised beneath the video and they’re all 6061 in price in some configuration 🤘🤘
Love your videos! Bad ass slingshot!
I would like to have a Snap-On Handle. I have several extra handles I can spare, which size does it use and how much for one with a Snap-On Handle? FYI! I wear XXL Gloves, so I am guessing the large handle is needed. That would look so cool in my Snap-On Tool Box! Almost everything I own is Orange, I do prefer it!
All of them I like. I wish I have the last green one
That was one of the shortest commercials I've ever seen 😅😍 I have got to have one of those👍
Obviously u r an expert in aluminium industry , as everywhere is ally even in ur vice teeth ,
But I’m just wondering what r u fabricating in that warehouse ?
Ps, the best ally welding video ever 👍
Nice!!!!!!!!! Thanks for your time and effort. Maybe make a "wrist rocket" next time?
Very impressive setup
Crazy NASA TECHNO
😍😍😍
