I have been working with wood since 1975. I am a self-taught artist. Growing tired of the everyday grind and feeling very passionate about the possibilities of woodworking I struck out on my own and started Knapp Studios in 1988. My greatest focus is on kaleidoscopes. That is how my wife, Shelley and I have been making a living since 1989. I also enjoy working in glass,metal and acrylic. Kaleidoscopes are a natural fit for me because they are multimedia and combine many different skills that I enjoy doing. For me -- to do is to be. :)
Thank you for watching.

Mom, I need 3-5 gal buckets, a toaster oven, digital calipers, a planer, a joiner, a router, a router table, a drill press, a drill press mill table, a hand sander, and a bench grinder with a buffing wheel, so I can make a sling shot ;)
Very clear demonstration
Spectacular process and techniques not to mention well lighted video with excellent sound as well, nicely done! Thank you for sharing this with us!
Now that is a cool project and you have awesome results! Very Nice!!!
When drilling into plastics or brass, use a blunt drill bit, it wont have as much chance to grab on the plastic or brass and it should prvent it from pulling up and ripping apart your work or fingers. Very nicely made mate, those looks stunning. Well done mate well done indeed
Awesome results Can opener!
Thanks for the great videos Randy!
Thanks enjoyed that
Very nice, that's a lot of work.
That was a very interesting series, thank you!
Use the British method to attach round bands or still ball in the end of the tube bands after you put it through the hole. Slingshot saved
Wow, that's awesome stuff!
I watched all three videos. I like the slingshots you made. You've made a good video. Thank you for sharing this. It's content like this that I enjoy seeing.
where doy you get the "clips" and what do you use for bands. We never even saw one completed in part 1,2,or 3.
Otherwise,,, well done.
I agree with shooter, I flattened the cutting edge of the drill bit just a little so you have to make it cut.
Fantastic .
perfect craftsman
For texturing the slick out of it, I bet you could find some textured surface to whack into it with a mallet, like knurling on a tool handle. That'd probably be too coarse, so maybe a sintered bronze gasoline filter, or maybe steel wool? Something fine. Tapping that all over the areas you want to texture, might work for a good grip?
Great videos and slingshot building tutorials, thanks!
Just curious, but why don't you just use some flat wood bits to drill the HDPE so it won't climb the drill bit?
put a drill clamp or a wood tube / sleeve over the drill bit. Then you can drill to the depth you need and drilling this way will make sure the plastic won't climb up the drill
Would you please put a link in the description to find the flip clips and also how are you finish the complete screenshot with the rubber band, etc.
Great looking slings think I've seen 1 of yours on a Fb group ( the catapult lounge )

Super interesting Randy, I enjoyed this series of videos very much! Thank you for taking the time to film and share all the work that went into these. Your name sounds very familiar, you don't happen to be a member of bushcraftusa.com do you? A thread on slingshots was recently started there that has got me back interested in them. I feel like a kid again. LOL
I also do some wood turning so maybe I've heard of you in the wood turners circles.
Super
one thing ive wanted to try using for extra grip on hdpe knife handles is checkering tools like whats used to give gun stocks their grip and fancy pattern. not sure if their called checkering tools but if you google that youll find em.
just grind a negative rake on the cut edge of the drill that stops it climbing.
What if you used that flex tape spray stuff to stay on a rubberized handle
cool
I’m getting chatter on the board when I run it through the planer. The planer is a small portable Porter Cable. Some times pieces of plastic can wedge themselves between blade and mounting surface. Do you think a larger planer, with thicker blades would take care of this problem?
Hi sir i love u r videos.... sir can u make video on how to make slingshot ammo(balls) with HDPE... i hope it will help for slingshot shooting learners.. 😊😊😊.. and i hope u will do... thanks sir for all your support
HI !
Very interestng series !
I plan to do something like that for different brackets and so BUT ...
What do you do with all the chips coming from planer and router ?
Yeah, suck it into bag or so, but will iy be CLEAN enough to use again ?
Do you remelt the swarf? It would probably make a micro-version of the swirly patterns you usually get. How about the offcuts? Remelt? Or save for projects?
Have you thought of packing the messed-up holes with molten HDPE? Seems like a shot at a second chance.
CZcams user Clickspring has a vid on modifying drill bits for drilling brass. Would probably work the same for HDPE. Vid is called Spare Parts #7
The blue/silver and red/milk slabs probably did not turn out well because of release agent or contaminants on the plastic.
+Double Dare Fan Yes the off cuts make neat looking slabs. I do not like to remelt them too many times as I feel it degrades with each melt. Just my opinion. The swarf is too much of a pain to remelt and not worth the effort for me. The process is a bit of alchemy have fun . :)
Broo that s a lot of work! How much do you sell those?
How can I see all your designs and buy them ..
Very nice work , Do you make slingshots to sell or have a marketplace to sell them on , i would be interested in buying one ,
The silver buckets and coffee containers are food grade and are not made from petroleum but soybean oil. They are not recyclable. I have 55 gallon barrels that had olives in them and they also can not be remelted. Begs the question as to why milk and water jugs can be used and I can't answer that. Hmm.
I'm having trouble with my HDPE melting together. Since you said avoid Lowe's, where are you getting your buckets?
wow those are fantastic frames. what happend to the red pfs slingshot?
So what buckets fuse nicely ? I don't want to waste time and money cutting up and melting the wrong hdpe ! What are those clips and where do I get them ? Thanks, looks like a fun shop project .

Is it possible to melt PETE (soda bottle) the same way?
Thank you!
+iulgt87g6r7utr67 I do not know. I have no experience with PETE bottles.
