- Life sized version coming in next video :O
Thank you so much for watching and for the support :) I actually enjoyed this project a lot and especially the end when things where coming together.
Making a trebuchet without blueprints was a bit challenging, but it also gives me more room to be creative along the way. A ballista would be awesome to give a go at some day!.
Looking forward to bring you another video in not so long from now. Cheers!

now make it 100x bigger and take back the holey lands with it
What land is that? Is it Switzerland. Their cheese has a lot of holes, so maybe the land is holey too.
@@beersmurff C'mon wtf
@@jebus6246 kill joy
Like the moon?
Jake S it would probably get stuck in a hole...
But can it shoot 90g rocks over 300cm?
is there a reference ...?
@@B.arnabas I think the real one can shoot 90kg rocks over 300m

always a fun little build... looks like it still needs a bit of tweaking, getting the counterweight to the right amount, getting the top pin angled for optimum release timing, etc...... I did a small scale one years ago from a plan I found that originally called for using popsicle sticks....it would throw a 1/4 ounce fishing weight across my living room with a suprising amount of speed. i've threatened to scale up to the size I could fling a golf or tennis ball, but my wife said she didn't want me arrested for laying siege to the neighbors..
I made one about 4 feet at the shoulder when I was in eighth grade as a science project, it could launch bricks an easy 50 yards. Scariest thing I've ever made.
tell your wife to mind her own business
check out tom stanton! He made one that shoots projectiles that size
"...but my wife said she didn't want me getting arrested for laying siege to the neighbors." I'm dying, good stuff man 😂👍
The only thing you should have said to your wife was, DEUS VULT!!!
Don't put it in front of your Army tho...
GOT S8E3 disappointment lol
Why do I get that reference XD???

I thought you were going to use it to roll dice. A new type of board game catapulting to new levels. Love your videos and skill.
"Here's the design I made... it's pretty simple"
NARRATOR: "It wasn't."
Loved it, positively explains the medieval contraptions we often see in drawings. An enjoyable demonstration of fairly simple design.
Absolutely insane! No measurements and all by eye and hand just shows how talented you are!
I want to see it fire in a larger environment!
we all do
Seelz, it barely made the wall. It will need some tweeking before it gets interesting.
@@kaptein1247 What? It hit high on the Wall
Now you have an effective siege weapon for a tiny army. Awesome mini build!
Need one for my cat, he is in war with my neighbour 2 bigger cats so that siege equipment would give him some advantage :D
Awesome looking trebuchet and it really shot the projectile well.
okay so this is my favorite of your sculpture you are amazing it's so abstract but it's functional
I've been on extended sick-leave for 7 years, for suffering from mental illness. It's not easy, but with help and medication, I have crawled up from the darkest of the abyss and I'm now taking life at a slower pace. I've never been handy or practical, I was always the bookworm. Therefore it came as a surprise to both me and people around me when I took up woodworking as a hobby. I got my hands on a simple used 200-dollar lathe, a set of beginner's tools and a set of carbide cutters and some other odds and ends. Wood is both hard and easy to come by; parts of a birch felled by a winter storm "found" their way to my porch (which is also my woodworking shop) and I buy 2by2s and 2by4s fir from the local home improvement store. Anything more exotic than that is out of my budget, unfortunately.
The focus I need when I'm at the lathe is like meditation to me now. Even though I only turn and carve small things; mortars and pestles, small mushrooms, magic wands, every finished item, piece by piece, is slowly re-building me, giving me more reasons to believe in myself.
The inspiration to start doing this... is you. You, and other CZcamsrs who inspire and educate through your videos, who've spent countless hours creating them.
I am so grateful to you and your fellow makers, thank you!
It means a lot for me to know this man! Life can be a real struggle and we got to make the best out of it. I would not be the same person without my art and i am very glad i have it. It makes me glad to hear that you are up and going! I am more than ready to bring you more videos here to this channel :) Thank you
It's incredible to hear that wood working is your medicine. Keep at it! Maybe we'll even see a video from you some day! I make knives and I have also recently started wood working as well. It's very rewarding having something come from your mind that ends up in your hands. Stay strong! The world needs more people like us: Craftsman. 😃
You may not think it, but a lot of people would actually like to see you machine every single part! I know I would. I love videos like this and I like watching the whole process. Great video build! I would have liked it more if I had gotten to see you machine every piece though.
about shat my pants when the gunshot went off... lol cool build!!!!
The unexpected guitar part made me laugh! 😄 I'm obsessed with your videos, all the work that I've seen so far is truly amazing. Congratulations! ☺️
A really fun video in more ways than one. You had a lot of parts to design and make and the sounds were surprising through my headphones. I thoroughly enjoyed such a different project I wonder how and why you came up with it as its not something I would have expected from your good self. Cheers Jonas, respect from John in England.
that sketch is god like, it looks like it belongs in a medieval game
I did not expect you to randomly show up playing guitar
Nice choice of music an amazing craftsmanship as always!
That's really cool! I know that things with moving parts are really hard to make, but it would be awesome if you continued to make things like that!
Man, I really laugh in " What have I made" kkkkkkk you're insane. I love your job and your videos.
I built one when I was a kid during a rainy day at the cottage.I used a couple of wooden shingles and some large bolts for counter weights. Not nearly as elaborate as this one,but it worked fine.
This looks like a reason to show off your shop.
Hello yes i am showing off my shop. In more than one video. Is there a problem with that?
I love your specials effects. You're so funny! 😂😂😂
For when you want to wage war on your coworker in the office.
Annex their cubicle. Rule their lands as your own and take your rightful position as King of the Office!
@@Keys879 Load the extra paperworks!
Search office weapons. Hahahah
Your editing style is on point! Love it! Amazing ptoject too. Cant wait to see what you come up with next!!!!
Thank you! Great to hear that :)
That's awesome very good craftsmanship
Jesus christ, I was not expecting that guitar. Great project, can't wait for the life sized one. Wink wink.
I made a several small models, based on popsicle sticks before moving on to a larger (about 20cm) model. I did a fair amount of research and found that the throwing end of the arm should be around 4x the length of the counter weight end. making the throwing end as light as possible also helped with the overall performance. The other thing to note is the ratio of counter weight to projectile, aim for around 100:1. The 20cm model I made was not safe to use indoors, the power was quite surprising. Yours looks a lot better than my attempt.
CZcams is realy Good att recomending videos i dont know that I realy want too see
google is very good in maintaining the stuff they buy (and some of there own stuff)
3:26 I love that finger snap carpentry
Hahaha guitar solo very nice :-D I could watch you for hours Thank you for your videos and the good mood you bring over
That was amazing and hilarious. First the dagger, now this...I'm thinking someone is excited for Game of Thrones to come back. I know I am! How about a full body dire wolf to go with it?
That's awesome! Bigger bigger bigger!!! 👍👍👍
7:30 So much power the a and h on your keyboard switched places!
Very clever video! Well done. I have a folder of plans for making a trebuchet that can throw and orange-sized object, but our winters here in Australia just are too short for that project.
in high school, i made a working trebuchet, using a lot of wax and shoelace for the taught rope spring. Considering it was mostly scrapwood and not sanded at all, it worked really well
Good fun build! I built one 14 feet high that throws a 4.5 kg concrete ball. The angle of the hook, the length of the sling, the weight of the projectile, the weight in the ballast box all determine the trajectory of your projectile.
Trebuchets can throw backwards or even straight up if the mentioned variables are not tuned correctly.
That's awesome! Reminds me of my childhood when me and my dad build a trebuchet. It ended up being able to hurl a 3kg stone some 60m. We even built a little castle silhouette of plywood as target. Awesome times.
This device requires skilled engineers my lord
thats sick, its so good that you have started uploading again!
1.I know now i'm watching videos made by a professional : "SKA-DOOSH" There's all the proof in the world I needed :D
2. Watch out miniature Kingdoms! King Jonas is coming with his army of miniature trebuchets do take down your walls! Surrender!
3. Awesome man!
Keep it up man. You're stuff is amazing. It's a pleasure to watch you craft stuff . Now I'm not going to go out and chop trees to make my very one "mini catapult" any time soon, but it looks SO COOL :D
Haha thank you! I will keep them coming :)
...but will it launch flaming balls of fire? Never mind... Probably not a good idea for a woodworking shop! 🙃 Awesome build Jonas!
Ross The Maker haha my brother actually said that i should have made some flaming balls for it. Would probably be pretty cool :D Thank you ross!
Nice, I really enjoyed this, it was a little different than the other videos you do, also nice to see it work
Nice little fun project. It is really important to sometimes wake up the little kid that lives in every man. My dream project is making a sailing ship model and spend houndreds of hours on that :D
Word!
A really fun build.
Thanks! yeah it is something different than the rest of my channel :)
Awesome!!! I'm planning on building my own (channel mascot haha) for a long time... great work!!! Cheers from Brazil!
Super impressive wood work please keep making more content!
Thank you! it has been a while, but i am currently working on a new video :)
You scared the s**t out of me with the test try. I love the designe, the details and the "simplisity". It tuned out great. Nice to se dremel used for something else than just carving. Next time you can do a crossbow.
of course it works! why a superior siege machine wouldnt work?
because it is small
@@sanchitverma2892 and? You can siege a mini castle with that thing

Amazing how you dedicated such time and energy to building that beautiful and complex work of art, only to launch a single projectile into your workshop wall.
YT needs more trebuchet building :) I built lots of them as a kid. super fun hobby. The last and biggest had a 300lb counterweight and about 6ft axle height, but I never got the efficiency as high as I had with small ones.
Another very impressive video! Looks like a lot of fun
Fun build! Nicely done.
Thank you so much!
Absolutely amazing
great build loved it
Congratulating you now on 100K subs, I think you will probably hit it before you upload your next video! :)
How i hope that becomes true! Thanks for the support :)
I loved this weapon so much at my first game Age of Empires.. Good job bro ! Greeting from Indonesia..
Total war is better ;)
You have done a beautifull work, I love it
Very interesting work! I loved it!
Congrats on 100k subs! It makes me so happy to see you grow with your great talents and your beautiful art! This is really an underrated channel so I hope more and more people come to enjoy it.
Cool little project! I have always wanted to build one like yours. You may have just inspired me to go ahead and build one. Thanks for sharing 👍
thats an awesome little project, i wanna make one now ha. How about making a mini Ballista next?
That would be really cool! a ballista can be very advanced and i would like to make that, But my next project will be a sabertooth tiger head :)
You mean a crossbow?
If you shorten your chain on the bag a little and add more weight to the counter weight then it should go farther. Bending the nail at the top either up or down will also change when it is released.
(Also adding wheels will help too since allowing the frame to move a little increases speed)
That's awesome mate! Very nicely done :)
Thank you so much mate :)
Nice work, I enjoyed that very much. Keep those videos coming! 😃
Another great video Jonas, well done mate keep it up ✌🏼
Fine. I had a strange dream to build a trebuchey. Now, thanks to your video, I can build a small one))
Great engineering, looking forward to more!
Stellar machine!! Keep ‘em coming!
that's great. Thanks for sharing!
Enjoy the video and the build nice work 👍🏼
Fun video, great build and cute guy... perfect!
Que hermoso trabajo!
Nearly choked on my coffee when that guitar riff cropped up. Well-played, sir... :)
Amazing!
Really great job, great talent!
Nice design, I've made trebuchets that could throw a small water balloon over 300 ft in the past, here are a few tips:
- The slide would work better if it is one piece (you wanna make sure there are no lips or edges that the sling can get caught on)
- For weight use coins! they are much denser work a lot better than dirt
(You nailed the J hook for the arm ... no puns intended)
That was cool. Thank you for that.
Didn't expect to see on youtube such a talented woodcraftsman. Very nice job, and great video. It would be nice to have more testing, how good it does what it was intended to do, etc. It was something I expected in first place. A bit disappointed here. But watching this model being constructed is quite a pleasure.
Me gustan sus proyectos.. sin duda aprenderé mucho gracias a usted!
Dude that was awesome.
Great build, great humor ... ;-)
many thanks for showing and please keep up the good work
Thank you :)
This is so awesome! You need to make some kind of other small scaled stuff to go with this! Great job!
That's an incredible job, impressing and so oddly satisfaying. Nice to see you back regularly on CZcams :D
Thank you! New video on next sunday maybe :)
@@Jonasolsenwoodcraft i keep my fingers crossed for this and can't wait :)
I love how your mind works.
pretty cool build
Best modeling of trebuchet I’ve ever seen :))))
Nice project, very good. Have you thought about making a west carriage, or a diligence?🤔....greetings mate!😋👍
Hey men this is one of the best things that i have seen in CZcams, just Awsome, you have Talent and this toke you time to do it . thanks for videos like this
Thank you back! Means a lot to me to read this
Ahhh... the superior siege machine
No, and that's a fact
This is super fun, always enjoyable to watch you. Early congrats on 100k, awesome stuffs!
I would love to make something like this... Time to look for some plans! Awesome work!
Wow! this is amazing! didn't expect less from you :D
Freaking awesome, not only well executed but a bit different to your normal work. Fully working wooden tank next? :-D
That was pretty cool
Enjoyed very much
Very nice build. Impressive that you did it without a real blueprint. Ever hear of a Murlin Trebuchet? Build one of those. You'll love it.
If you use skin instead of jeans!
But we already enjoyed it, very cool work
