Trebuchet
A couple years ago, an insane genius in the form of one Alan Vance came up to me and said, “Dude, I’m thinking about building a trebuchet for the New Years party… are you interested?”
The response was an emphatic hells yes. The idea was to use a pile of half rotten logs (picking out the good ones), re-bar as joiners and other spare construction materials to cobble together something capable of throwing your basic array of fruits and vegetables.
Using a chainsaw, guesswork, and an assortment of power-tools used in a fashion that would make mothers everywhere cringe, we created the chaos below. I really thing that if we’d had a little more time and some better wood, we could have easily chucked a Volkswagen.
Also, see the pictures here (I’m not sure why I’m not wearing pants, it seemed like the right thing to do at the time).
