I made a thumb support grip slingshot out of two boards of Mahogay. I needed two glued boards to get the necessary thickness for the many swells and curves. I tried hard to make this one really ergonomic and fitting my hand and grip modality. Here some pics of the rather exhausting process and a video. Hope you like it. Cheers.

That's looks like it fits you great! Nice work! kinda reminds me of the spanish style shooters. Most importantly though... How's it shoot??

Very nice work.

Thanks for the in-process views!

Looks good! the only thing I can offer is to say,"Chop the back frame down before gluing them together".

You hold like I do only with the right. I totally get the thumb brace. Ive made some varying degrees of a similar design. You achieved a nice classy piece. Is it your favorite? The satin finish is unique. Shoot it once or twice for me please.

SLINGDUDE: Shoots extremely well, very stable. No excuses if I miss.

SLING-N-SHOT: Thanks.

KawKan: Thanks.

flipgun: Sound advice. Will remember it for the next one.

NSFC: Would love to see your designs. It seems to me that thumb support designs are undervalued.

That's an Ordopedic custom ... I like it, you got me thinking. The video really adds a lot.

Nice job. Sort of a one of a kind. Hope it turns out to be your favorite.

Thanks everybody. Here two close ups and some plastic thumb adds-on I'm thinking about, figuring out a modular design based on adds-on plastic parts. Who knows..., may be.

Sweet !

It's not too late to put that in the SSOTM thread.

Done. Many thanks! I was totally unaware of that challenge.

Awesome build! Thanks for sharing the build pics and video. I enjoy seeing the work and ingenuity behind frames especially the unique ones!
