- Natural forks have their own appeal. You never know what is underneath the bark, and the strength of the wood is amazing.
This video shows how Jörg Sprave turns a Blackthorn fork into a nice slingshot, just with knife, rasp and file.
In order to make it less boring, the time intensive parts of the video are massively accelerated, so even though no part has been left out, the entire procedure takes abozut 9 minutes from raw fork to the well finished glossy slingshot, ready with home made bands.
A "The Slingshot Channel" production!
I coat the painted slingshot with polyurethane varnish, for a glass like surface.
@kumquatsta Took me an afternoon, but the video did delay it. Kind of cumbersome to always work within the camera view.
It is a big roll for sure, but you don't need much for a band. My bands cost me less than two Euros a pop.
LOL i love the way u look at the camera right after u shoot
@SuperGPAG For beginners, yes. The fork should be wide and a bit higher. Advanced shooters don't need any fork width, as the flip down method takes care of that.
This guy is like the Bob Ross of slingshots ... I remember watching him alot back in the day because of all the crazy sling experiments he used to do ... properly awesome and random
great looking Slingshot
i had to smile though when at the start it said joerg sprave makes a slingshot
could have been nothing else
thank you Ade
@AESamuel The wood was freshly cut. I microwave it for 90 secs at 600 watts, then let it cool for about 30 minutes. I repeat the process 3 or 4 times, until there is no more steam in the oven after the microwaving.
The time spent making it... Makes it YOURS. Thanks
Just as a general comment: I love these sorts of time-lapse movies of people making things. There's just something inherently relaxing yet entrancing about them.
@SuperGPAG This one has been stained with black ink for pens, then coated (4 layers) using polyurethane for boats.
A NATURAL WOODY THAT DOESN'T SHOOT BLANKS IS WHAT GOT ME UP AND SLINGING MY SHOTS AFTER MAKING MY WOODY SHOOTER
i think, this is the best Video you`ve ever made !!!
Damn slingshot looks like a super hero. Just FYI your videos are very interesting and educational thank you
@krap101 If I try draw with my left hands, bad things happen.
@MrChaosHeadz Gotta be over 10 degrees centigrade for serious rubber performance. Won't happen before mid February, I guess.
That was a hell of a taper on those bands. Great video.
Thumbs up because a) it's pretty b) a thorough and clear demonstration and most importantly, c) YOU FIRED IT! ehhee. So many "how to make a slingshot" videos that don't actually shoot the damn thing. Great video, really enjoying your slingshot videos. Thanks.
@UlsterBoy01 I use ink, the stuff you normally use for fountain pens.
Oh, and I microwave for 90 secs at 600 W. Then wait 15 minutes and do it again, until no more steam comes out of the fork. Shorten the sessions to 60 secs after the second one.
it`s like Benny Hill making a slingshot,with the speeded up parts.
But I`m finding that I can`t wait to see the next videos that you put up as soon as I`m getting in from work....and I`m a night worker.
KEEP UP the Good work Joerg....Well appreciated :-)
THE SOUNDS IN THIS VIDEO ARE AMAZING.
I use polypropylene string, cheap and available in hardware stores.
I want a tutorial on how you work so fast!! lol jk the high speed cracks me up!
I made one a number of years ago by putting tungsten carbide steel fork that I welded together into a groove I cut into a a hazel bush and allowed wood to grow around it and envelope it, as such, till it was completely encased inside the wood. It took three years to completely grow and seal itself inside but it was perfect. I then soaked it in linseed oil for six months and then put it in the warmer oven of an Aga for six months till the wood was like steel. I sanded and polished it till it was the nicest bit of wood that has ever been seen. Then a year or so later I had it wrapped up and in my case when I took a flight from London to Frankfurt and, along with a 40 grand Cartier watch, it was not there when I picked up my bags at the baggage clain. Seems a lot if things go missing through baggage claim.
@MrPrimitiveman I think it was blackthorn, but I am not sure. Thorny it was.
Great video, it wasnt long or boring at all infact I was kinda sad when it ended. I also loved the Troll tip at the end :)
@MrToshTogo I use standard ink for fountain pens. After all, ink is made to dye plant fibre material! As you can see in the video, I use small rubber bands and wrap them around the bands and fork arms.
The pouch should be as small as possible, it is dead weight. A big pouch often weighs more than the ammo. Bad for performance.
Your English is fantastic, Joerg!
That is why Mister Sprave
*Sips tea*
I troll like a Sir.
Just kidding,
The Work of Jörg is amazing! A legend of slingshots!
after i saw this video i wanted to do a slingshot to look kinda like this one , Thanks Allot Jorg for the tutorial , i didn`t had quality bands so i used more of them , it shots very well and it`s perfect for my hand , keep up the good work buddy:)
Ist im Prinzip so ähnlich wie ein Dremel. Ich habe so ein Teil, benutze es aber selten (nur für sehr enge Stellen).
that slingshot was beautiful
I love this video. thanks for keeping the sound when the video is fast-forwarded
@GrahambertusJosepha The constrictor knot.
I love how simple but effective your design is
Naja, die Bänder ziehen schon leicht ungleichmäßig wenn die Arme nicht gleich dick sind. Ein Riesenproblem ist das aber nicht. Ich meine jedoch: Das Auge schiesst mit!
Schönes Video, gefählt mir. Auf jeden Fall ein gutes "How to" für Anfänger. So müsste man in Echtzeit schleifen und raspeln können :)
@BorisStokicCobb No paint, black ink.
That was great. Thanks for posting. hats a real help.
@AbuYusefAlHalabi Maybe two hours. Sanding is the most time intensive part.
@wufwufwufwuf "And nothing else matters"... (Metallica, 1992)
our videos help with everything. The card board for holding the sling shot in the vice is awesome I used a hand towel when making a bow and it just didn't work well. thanks
as always good video, it was fun to see joerg in super speed hahaha.
@wanderinggibbon Well, I just had this idea to make a running gag out of this as so many people sent me PMs and encouraged me to keep making fun out of the trolls. Until then I did not even realize that other publishers don't ever do that.
Love your channel. I'm going to use what I've learned from you and teach my sons a fun hobby
Amazing craftsmanship as usual, Joerg!
Wollte nur mal schnell schreiben das ich deine Videos wirklich klasse finde!
Interessant, witzig, informativ!
Danke dafür!
Grüße
Joerg- This is one of your best videos... excellent. I like the all black theme, and it looks like a nice shooter or a Slingshot i can try to make myself.
Cheers-Bravo- good job. and of course don't listen to any of the jerks- your English and camera work is excellent and absolutely impeccable.
-David
Great stuff. From your old content to your more recent videos, i have as much fun watching as you seem to while making and shooting these things. Going to find myself a solid starter sling shot and start shooting again ^^ I hope all is well for you and yours. Thank you for all the fun
@TheLecker1 Ich habe dazu ein Handbuch geschrieben, Du findest es auf meiner homepage unter "Tips".
Oh man, i was just about to go to sleep and then you post a new video
i quess i'll be tired for school tomorrow
i love your positive attitude for everything =]
Excellent work !
Covered it with boat coating (polyurethane).
You're a legend and an inspirationn
Good Trollwork, haha! So, I learned to use slingshot when I was a little boy, and I keep this passion until now! Here in Brasil the costume is use the rubber tube (originally used to medical purpouses), "sorinho" is the common name here, and the desing of the fork is different. I found Thera Band recently, and I'll buy to test! Your channel is very usefull,I hope you continue showing us your "toys"!
Thanks for the tutorial. I'm going to make some with my boys this weekend.
Great video. Thanks for making it. I'm about to try making my first slingshot, so I found this very helpful. Keep up the good work!
i love this guys videos!
Love the sound effects!
@zeidamaster I make them from Thera Band, I buy it online.
the fast forwarded sounds are awesome
Finally,I found a video that shows the build.
I love your channel man, You've inspired me to try making a few of these. I'm picking up my theraband later today. =D
you are the best mc giver for the world
very nice, Joerge. Get you a dremel tool, that will make short work of the bark peeling.
echte deutsche handarbeit ! gefällt mir sehr gut ! :)
Great work!
i love time lapse vids
love to see the nautrals there beautifull work
great as usual!
Dude you are a legend.....
@Homer3864 Schau Dir mal "the strongest destruction slingshot" an, da habe ich die Gummianbringung genau erklärt.
After you said lets peel off the bark, I was thinking for half a second.. He better slow down or he's gonna cut himself!!! Hahahah.
Love the sped up parts. The only thing that would have made them funnier is having Yakety Sax playing in the background.
Great vid, thanks!
amazing videos, been watching them all night, only makes me want to make one lol
really cool i will try making one this week been looking for branches the toughest i found is olive tree but only fresh wood hope it works because the other kind of tree around is poplar i cutted one but the core is hole
Super videos !
Macht echt spass dir zuzuschauen :)
@TheDogcatchersito I have, just watch some more of my how tos.
A true hero.
@provajon001 Knife, rasp, file.
Excellent Joerg
Very awesome video. Very nice process, so much more to be learned! :D
wow I have seen quite a few of his sling shot video and he is amazing for some thing that is hundreds of years old going
back to biblical times to present day finding a true man's weapon with elegance far from the sling shots of yester year one must see the art and skill it takes to put a meal on the table
or to protect live stock. what ever he showing us guns are not the only way were these were here among us first let's not for get the true arts
I use ebay and buy from the cheapest supplier with a decent reputation.
It is down to the parent of the child to teach them right from wrong, not Joerg, he is just doing something he loves and showing us how he does it. He took the precurtion to wear saftey goggles and if a "kid" goes "shooting around" without goggles it is the parents fault for not teaching him that his actions have consequences.
anyone else notice the hilarious speed-breathing at 2:02
I love watching your slingshot channel and I am amazed that anyone has anything to troll about here. I LOVED when your video sped up! I laughed really hard. One question though. What tool did you use to make the grooves?
great lesson.... by the way...... worked on me pritty fine :-)
brilliant mate ! if you can it would be great to see all your vids like this
stay safe pip
dream come true video
@JoergSprave wow, joerg, you listen good music! keep on!
Спасибо за КЛАССНЫЙ видео, всё очень ясно и понятно, ты МОЛОДЕЦ!
None of this video was sped up, he's just that fucking good.
awesome hip-hop popping at 4:32
I don't think he appreciates my work, he sides with the weaklings.
I wish you had spent another minute or two, showing us how well it worked. We didn't really get to look at the product of your time and effort. Phooey.
Thank you
good job!!!!
