Great DIY project and demonstration! Great camera work! Great non-musical video! Great starting the video without a 10 minute preamble and without interrupting the work to your express your feelings for selecting the different materials, which welder and feed rod size and type. I learned a lot by watching how you built it and you finished with a link to a relatable site. Bravo and Thanks!!
VERY PRECISE! That's the nicest slingshot I've ever seen! Very good video! Good SAFE practices! Went to the trouble to make jigs & fixtures to manufacture more than one, so they'd be all the same! VERY NICE! Hey, everybody...this fellow know how to do the perfect "how-to" video! No talking, no hype, no commercials...just absolute skill and quality! We can learn a bunch of stuff from this fellow!!!
I’m only 5min in but had to take a break and comment. Your fixturing for a slingshot is insane. As is your skill level and craftsmanship. I’m going to make some coffee now. If I would have realized this was a 21min video before I clicked play, I would have brewed up a couple cups before I even started watching! A 21min video from 6061!!! Am I dreaming!? Is this real life!?!?
Interesting video - brings back memories since the very first thing I learned to build as a young boy - maybe 7 or 8 years old, was a sling shot. Finding a suitable 'crutch' in a tree branch was step 1. Finding suitable rubber from discarded car tire tubes from a local garage was step 2. Acquiring leather from an old shoe tongue was step 3. Cutting the rubber bands was tricky - if you did not run the scissor properly, the edges had jagged Z shaped nicks that would tear as soon as the rubber was stretched. We used braided nylon carpenter string line to assemble it all. It was a two person job - one person had to stretch the rubber around the wood crutch arms/leather pouch holes while the other person raced to tie it off before the person doing the stretching fatigued. The roads were gravel in the small town in which I grew up - that's where we acquired ammo. Did not take long to perfect the art of making 'low tech' but deadly slingshots this way.
The joys of having machine equipment on the weld shop. It was live changing when i started machinning my own fixtures in the weld shop. It makes the job so much enjoyable.
Saw your video on "welding stainless to aluminum " i thought it was great. You approached the topic very well and were thoroughl in both your qelding and explaination. I couldnt comment this on that video so i came here.
Awesome build!👏 I always enjoy watching your approach to making things. To answer your question, I prefer the slingshot with the black accents on the handle.
You may like or dislike these videos. Personally I enjoy them. I also have the utmost respect for the workmanship of this particular individual. To describe him as being meticulous in what he does just doesn't do it justice. I wish I had just a little bit of his machine shop and a little bit of his skills. My hats off to you sir!
Btw, blue! You would be a great teacher on how to operate the equipment how to maintain a clean work environment and most of all how to produce beautiful quality work.
Keep up the good work. Regular viewer, first time commenting. Thank you you the education in metal working, I learn a great deal from your videos. Many thanks, Gaz
He might be a little bit obsessive, but dear Lord does he do beautiful work? The way he always has everything laid out and clean. Light between Machining steps hitting the surface with the year nozzle. A lot of people would just brush it with their hands. This guy can build a Saturn V and it would fly the first time. Absolutely amazing
Thank you for sharing. Greens my color. I haven't used a lathe in over thirty years. Only with wood. Was nice to see how metal was used on it. Great lesson for young ones, how important the application of math is to fabricating. Stay in school.
Impressive! Makes me want to take out a huge bank loan, mortgage my house and build a huge metal fab shop just to build those frikn sweet slingshots! Too awesome too cool! Thanks 6061!
Hi there, WOW you've got some great kit and tools there my man, some real professional level equipment nicely done sir and very precise measurement and machine work your a very skilled individual indeed thanks and I'll be watching more of your videos 👌 atb Dave
Well done, I have no words, amazing work, abs. perfect, detailed and precise, like me, you are an artist in the work, this is not easy to find. The product is super brilliant, well done, respect and bow, from old BG.
Have you seen the homemade melting pots for aluminum? I can't think of the correct name. I've been tempted to make one of those. If he ever used one I think it would be amazing. How about using a 3D printer to create sand cast of what you want to pour? And then he machines it to a perfect finish!
I like that your videos don't have music in them. Don't ever change!
Me 2
Music in educational or how-to videos is a nuisance
These are the kind of realtime arc shots I always wished you would show !! Thanks for taking the time

Never has there been such perfection built into a slingshot. Bravo 6061.
If ever they hold a contest for Most Jigs, hands down you win
Thank you for the time, effort, and money it took to present a better quality welding shot. Always enjoy the videos, Sir.
I am so agree!!!

@@albertacong9986 Hi good morning. please give me your car, or another thing that you have Albert... 😫😫😫????!!!!!
A most excellent use of time, material, talent, and machines!
We use to make wood ones all the time in the 80’s. Game is been upped 🤘🏼
I can say you work using technic and quality! Excellent job.
Sweet. Solid black, knobby grip and Snap-on one.

Wow, you're amazing at shooting.👏👏👏
Damn that's slick 100% quality . Everything from the video to the actual slingshot👏 bravo
Man Brother that is some amazing craftsmanship I like the last one you built awesome weld.
Awesome build!👏 I always enjoy watching your approach to making things. To answer your question, I prefer the slingshot with the black accents on the handle.
It's crazy how intelligent this guy is... Great video. 👊🏼

Wow, really appreciate you showing all you do!
I love this stuff with custom tooling. More like this please.... I'm also a member.
Your fixturing is awesome for the parts in this video and the final part after assembly.
Nice Welding, not anyone can do that, as good as you!! Nice!!
This is the greatest vid of all time. Everything I like in one. 👏
Clever mailing address. 😎. The depth of tips are endless in this video. Thanks 🙏
The orange is the winner. Definitely all beautiful pieces though! 👍🏽
I think the green handle had the best-looking weld. Nice shooting there at the end, too!
Your shop is so clean it is obscene!
Beautiful work. Taken to the next level! You have made it an art!
Keep up the good work. Regular viewer, first time commenting. Thank you you the education in metal working, I learn a great deal from your videos. Many thanks, Gaz
Nice add for the high quality gloves!
WHAT A PAIN - in - the- ass guy, so neat, so surgical, such lovely equipment, so organized!! Then I saw you manufacture. Beautiful.

The Stig of welding creates another great video.
Very cool stuff! Very well done, simply excellent results as usual... 😁
Like the OU812 zipcode. One of my favorite numbers!!!!

Beautiful!
Sweet that looks really fun to shoot and get exercise at the same time pulling that band back and holding it until you get the target in site.
Very nice piece!!

Grrr
Biltwell thrusters
The super professional way to build a slingshot👍. Machines and effort are awesome😲!
That is one amazing slingshot there. Great video.
Imagine having godlike welding and machining knowledge and skills just to make slingshots
I'd make an automatic...
All of them I like. I wish I have the last green one
The snap on one is bad ass .but they are all nice .good job as always .
Now i've got to say the snapon one is gotta be my ғᴀᴠᴏᴜʀɪᴛᴇ although all of them are cool

The Cadillac of slingshots - but wow, that's a LOT of work.
Hi there, WOW you've got some great kit and tools there my man, some real professional level equipment nicely done sir and very precise measurement and machine work your a very skilled individual indeed thanks and I'll be watching more of your videos 👌 atb Dave

That's some impressive tooling 💪
I like the two with the band the most. Those seem more functional.
That was one of the shortest commercials I've ever seen 😅😍 I have got to have one of those👍

Enjoyed the video...impressed w/bending fixture/jig. Would like to see video of that tool!
Best of the best thanks for the video successes in the work looking forward to new videos
Р+
Black one! Love to have one!!
I love running aluminum. We don't get much in the shop. I usually have to mess around with scraps to keep my hand in it.
Have you seen the homemade melting pots for aluminum? I can't think of the correct name. I've been tempted to make one of those. If he ever used one I think it would be amazing. How about using a 3D printer to create sand cast of what you want to pour? And then he machines it to a perfect finish!
Damn, I missed these videos.
Nice Aim 😊 and Work.
