Inspired by the thread from earlier, Squirebob has launched into the world of siege engines. In an effort to topple the local warlord (my Venezuelan housemate) I have built a Trebuchet. its not the largest the world has ever seen, but it does a job… Plastic farm yard animals have been raining down upon my tyrannical overlord for the past hour…
just thought I’d tell my fellow crusaders
Better watch it, or andygirl will steal it and lay Seige. Or seige. Whatever.
I got the plans for the cardboard Trebuchet from the earlier thread and am going to make it this weekend.
I have evil plans involving launching marbles out my 3rd floor office window.
I fully endorse this endeavor.
If we all had siege weapons our lives would be far more interesting.
I drew up some plans for a trebuchet a year or two ago. The idea is to have it big enough to throw bowling balls, but small enough that I can tote it around in the back of my pickup truck.
Unfortunately, my laziness has so far kept me from getting beyond the R&D phase of the project. But the plans are on my fridge.
HEY, was that the plan I posted?
