Sooo this summer (last summer? in January) I made a slingshot which I have about 0 uses for but it was still pretty fun.
What you need:[spoiler]A forked stick
Saw
Knife
thick rubber bands
String
Leather
[/spoiler]
How to make it:[spoiler] 1. Use the saw to cut your stick to a good size, like 15-17cm from top to bottom
2. Use the knife to strip the bark from the stick, this is easiest to do after a night of rain. You can then leave the stick to dry out in the sun.
3. Make a ring indentation a little under the top of each fork with the knife.
4. For the leather I just used the tongue of an old school shoe, cut out a rectangular shape and stab two small holes on either side.
5. Tie a bit of string through the holes and then tie the other ends of the string to two pieces of rubber
6. Fold other end of rubber bands on ends of stick, tie small piece of string around them where the grooves are to keep in place.
7. Get a rock and go hit some stuff
Highly do not recommend using indoors[/spoiler]
