  • In this video I am going to show you how to carve a natural fork oak slingshot. I used to make loads of slingshots and if you're interested in any of the old slingshot tutorial videos check them out here:
    • TAOW Hammer Slingshot ...
    If you're interested in any of the projects that I've been doing over the last 5 months check out my website;
    www.henryhaslam.co.uk
    Its been 5 months since my last upload and its about time that I got a new project out. I've bee really busy sorting my life out, getting my A-levels and getting into university. I've got it all sorted now and I'm going to study engineering after taking a year out first. Hopefully on the year out I will have lots of time to make some cool projects and videos for this channel,
    Enjoy!

    I've always loved watching your work with the rasps to get your shapes down. It's really cool to see complex shapes formed with simple tools. You're very good at it.

      @@danielpiotrowski1681 everybody can use those tools, that is not very difficult
      but patience is very important
      it's easier to do the hard/boring work if you know the goal
      that can also be applied to your whole life (read the bible)

    Before I write any further, please do not interprete my comments as patronising,or anything other than sincere recognition. Your parents must be very proud of your achievements and the doubtless hard work and perseverance it took to get there. It's young people like yourself that inspire hope for the future especially amongst my generation (55 - 65 yrs). I will try and scratch some cash together at some stage for you, it'll be money well spent. While I'm talking money, I would encourage others to all pitch in, not just for this lad but for the many others all of whom have gotten off their backsides to make things happen for themselves, and not relying on their ill gotten belief the world owes them something. IT DOES NOT. I wish you all the very best for the future. Sincerely James.

    Good to see you back, and right back into that wood work. It does kind of always stick with you once you get good at shaping wood. Even if you do other things in life, you eventually just have to get your hands on some wood and work it.
    I learned that black looks good for filled in cracks by accident. Some dummy painted the walnut wood on an old shotgun stock black. He wanted it to be more "tactical." I removed all the paint by scrapping it off and sanding rather then using a chemical. The low spots in the walnut still had a bit of paint, and it looked great.

Just checked out your website and it's not surprising that there is some really good stuff on there. Carry on as you are and it's pretty clear that you will do well at uni and Henry Haslam will be a name associated with some very interesting engineering projects in the future

    Well done, what can be said about such good and very meticulous work, I wish all people could be so detailed, but they can't, absolute respect from old BG. p.s. When I was a kid, I used the same detailed way to work slings and bows and everything.
    You will become a good and great master!!!

    Great to hear from you again with this excellent video. Glad too, to hear you have done well with your A levels and got the University place you wanted. I'm sure you will make a top rate Engineer with some interesting ideas.
    Loved the video, your editing talent make these look professional and good clear sound in phase with the image. Nice touch to have clips from your early slingshot work, lends "provenance" to this latest creation too. By the way I have "promoted" you from my laptop to my big screen with a chromecast gadget.
    Nice to see you using your homemade vice for this job, that it's lasting well and that it's up to the job.
    Keep having ideas and trying things out. Best wishes.

    Now most of the muscle strain is on your two fingers holding the pouch.
    Amazing nice creation, but I typically see full wooden slingshots like sculptures or sculpture collections, rather than seeing something for long heavy duty use. The most I can compromise is a Rosewood handle with stainless steel forks, or atleast there's some stainless steel being "sandwhiched".
    I do so very agree with your direction, ergonomics and power(penetration).
