looks good, Pretty much the same design as Bill Hays just showed off (I think it was Bills)
I believe his was made of G10 though.
Wonder how it shoots!

first power assisted, freehand, asymmetrical,multiplex, board cut, test
Hi picked up this rotary saw (hole saw) at overstock.com for 10 bucks. Had a small piece of multiplex (Ewwwwww), and wanted to see if it would work. Went out on the pourch, saw in one hand board in the other and gave it a try. No pattern, no guide lines, no attempt at anything other than making a slingshot like item with a untried tool, about 15 min later I had this. No work of art, that's for sure but I think it will work, at least for my first attempt using a power tool.
If anyone would like to take credit for this design feel free I'ld love to blame something other than my lack of skill...I really should stick to naturals....

Just add some curves to make it less controversial.

That maybe the next one DH this one I'll leave as is, it shoots quite well...once i get the hang of this saw I'll be able to make them a bit more gracefull. Anyway at the risk of causing controversy here's the finished project, thanks to the letter V and all the great V's that have come before, Van Halen, Van Morrison, Van Helsing, Vinny Barbarino, Uncle Vito, Vishnu and many others to numerous to mention....

and here is my safe, non- controversial project for the day...
Hey Harp, I notice a little rubber on the pegs, good idea. I was getting ready to carve little U's in my pegs. But maybe I will copy that.

And that looks like a first class rock chucker there.

Good direction to go.
Here, try cutting a couple of indentions, one for the index finger and one for the thumb like:

Pretty soon you'll be able to shoot a gnat in the butt from 20 meters.

You're on your way now Harp! The trees around your area can breath a sigh of relief for awhile! Flatband

I doubt that FB, don't think I have the skill set to make board cuts as anything but a lark, the trees in my neck of the woods must still beware.You're on your way now Harp! The trees around your area can breath a sigh of relief for awhile! Flatband![]()
dgui, thanks it aint much but it's mine......
I also have designed a "V" shaped slingshot, a long time ago. It is much different, though.
I no longer use the "V", as I now prefer thin flat bands and more comfortable grips. But it still is a nice concept.
