Step one into making the base, make sure to grab 4 x inch of wood and place them flat on the ground. After screwing them together, get 2 x inch of wood and place them in the middle of the base you have just built. If the wood seems to be a little off, move the base 90 degrees and then try again. Screw carefully. Screw Gun is most recommended

First, grab the x inch of wood and screw them in the middle of the bases as shown. After this, grab the x inch of wood and screw them slanted as shown. (If slanted wood is unstable move to step 3)

Screwing the Bottom Base Plate/adding the Wheels

This one is the most simple step. Grab the x inch by x inch wooden plate and screw it to the bottom of the base. After doing so, place the base that you have so far and screw/bolt the wheels on the four corners. (The wheels do not have an impact to the efficiency of the Ballista.)(If you moved to this step then screw the slanted move to the bottom plate for more stability.)

Adding the Elastic Bands

Grab two of the elastic bands and add them in that form. Using a drill make whole and gently add the band hooks to keep them in place. This is the last step and enjoy your new BALLISTA. (You may use whatever object to test to specific s)
