Wooden Slingshot

Hello everyone, sometimes I want to relax after work and for me one of the best ways to do this is to work with a beautiful exotic wood. So this project is rather not about the functional part, but about rest and aesthetic pleasure. Thank you for reading!

I used 3mm thick oak and purple heart boards.

The tool needed mostly files and sandpaper. I cut out the main contour on a CNC router, but it can also be done with a manual jigsaw.

First, I marked out the segments of the same length and cut them off.

A little sanding, PVA glue and a wonderful homemade plywood is ready.

I love watching how the CNC machine works, cutting out the perfect lines of the workpiece. Sometimes I want to leave the parts without finishing right after the CNC machine.

I give the desired shape with the help of files and sandpaper.

My favorite stage is wax polishing.

I cut the rubber band of the desired shape and attach it to the slingshot, it is much easier to do it in a vice.

I hope you enjoyed it! I also made a video, just doing the same thing without words to calm music.
