Post by: Newindian on March 11, 2016, 01:17:05 pm

A few of you might remember a post from a long time ago about this. This is a yet uncompleated trebuchet I have been making with a friend of mine. 14.5' to the main axle, arm is 28" long, bucket will weigh above 1000lbs, approximately 37.5 feet tall when not cocked.
