For this slingshot I used a branch from one of my live oak trees. The strap was taken from an existing slingshot I already owned, I did not make this part. I finished it with oil on the wood and shellac on the string.

Who thumbs down a handmade slingshot video?? You’ve seen this channel. You know what to expect? So confused... amazing video Andy, keep it up!
I really like videos like this because everybody can make this and because I love working whith wood
Honestly love this kind of woodworking, hand tools and raw material, brilliant.
Nice! I'm 51 and I still have the Slingshot my Dad made for me when I was a kid. Many bottles gave there lives to that one.
I enjoy that you added the captions now to explain what you're doing! Thanks for that addition.
Great video. I’m pushing 75 years, my grandad made sling shots for my brothers and me when we youngsters. We went in the woods and looked for dogwood trees. He claimed the made the best shooters. I don’t recall doing that much carving, just notches on both arms to accommodate the strips of inner tube. Then we went to the dump and spent the say breaking bottles, laughing and enjoying our new weapons.
I love these videos. It's so refreshing to just watch somebody work as opposed to having a flamboyant personality talk the whole time. I have been playing these videos while I'm at work. Although I usually have the video minimized while I'm working, I love hearing the tools working and the birds chirping. It's comforting and makes me feel better sitting at a desk for hours at a time. It motivates me to get back to my craft. The video are very well made and the content is very refreshing.
That’s an awesome looking slingshot. Looks better then the one I’ve made. Here’s a tip for shooting it though. Hold it sideways, with the forks horizontal. Then use your top fork to line up your shot. Kind of like a bow and arrow. It’s much more accurate than holding it vertical.
Thanks for the tip!
These are all I had as a kid. Hard part was finding an innertube. They were very precious. Nice to see you playing a bit Andy ! Thanks for the memories fella !
That's a huge slingshot, also you might want to tie the bands on with smaller strips of rubber so you can always replace them, cool vid tho

He got shot. No!! Little Potatoman. You were always my favorite
That is an amazing slingshot!! Fantastic job on crafting it!!
Every camp-er knows how to make a sling, don't disappoint me son!
Nice. My people make these as a way to kill wild chickens for meat. Tie the rubber on the other side of the arms, though. Opposite side you have them tied now. It won't tend to pull away from the wood as you draw back that way.
Thanks for the tip!
@Andy Rawls, you got any chickens yet??
Andy Rawls where did you get the rubber i think its from a bicycle wheel and since you puted glue it wont last too long
Think could slim shorten the hand and add thumb pads so it's comfy
You really need to look into making a self bow !
It’s on my list of ideas👍
I have some seasoned for 18 months Osage staves I would gladly donate !
Absolutely! Touch base with me via email andy@andyrawls.com
That poor potato :(
The slingshot is a work of art. Great job!
Hello guys, and welcome to the slingshot channel
That`s a beautiful slingshot!
First time I saw someone make a slingshot since I was 10 years old
You forgot to say "Let me show you its features!"
I was thinking JoergSprave could have given him a few pointers.

Andy, you have a great and beautiful property!

Good shooting Sir and sling shot making!
loving the cc you added to the video!
Everything you make gets cool points. 😎
Enjoyed that! Thanks for sharing the process.
That was good! You've just reminded me that I need to make a slingshot :) Thanks for video :)
Nice job, great video
I like it!! Maybe add an arm support, helps when pulling back, takes pressure off the wrist.
HE IS SO ATTRACTIVE AND TALENTED WTF
Looks great and lots of fun
Now you gotta hide in the woods and hope a young elf boy in green tunic comes find it to help him on his quest.
I hope this is a reference to Zelda...one of my all time favorites.
Great project! And, nice shot!
Awesome....
What about making a coffee cup out of wood?? That would be very interesting to watch and see you craft out of wood. Love the videos.
I like that idea!
With all your talent, I’d like to see a video on a sam maloof inspired rocker.
Cool
very good
Handy as a shirt pocket!
Mom: Don’t cut toward yourself
Me: 3:46
Another amazing video. Keep it up, mate!
I like the project but stuck around awaiting the bear confrontation...ha
100% getting millions of views
andy the guy who puts oil finish on a branch
I like doing a lot of hand wood working
Boys and their toys.... 👍
I like the end where he didnt pull the bands the right way its supposed to be over the top
Amazing 😂
Watch Fowlers makery and mischief on how to put bands on i cringed watching the part i could see those bands snapping loose and hurting really bad.
nice one
Is that a fully semi auto projectile flinger? Fun video. Made lots of these as a kid.
CAN YOU MAKE A BAMBOO FLUTE..??
BTW I LOVE YOUR ALL VIDEOS ..AND THIS ONE WAS REALLY AMAZING ..GOOD WORK MATE
Can you do a project where you olnly use carving knives and draw knives?
Please show us your wood stock!
Esta muy buena tu resortera..... Me gusto
Is the rubber made out of a bicycle tire?
Check out fowlers makery and mischief
This is my asmr.
Bands are tied on the wrong side and the forks are to tall witch will call strain on your wrist .but other than that you made yourself a good looking sling
how did you prevent it from cracking as it dried?
روعه
Decent shootin Andy!.....I’d offer ya a challenge. When I was a kid I use to take a small (empty) can of peaches...throw it in the air and hit it with my slingshot while in the air. (My word on it). [Cool lookin sling shot]
Wow that’s impressive!!! I need some practice before I can make that shot
It's been long time since u uploaded the last video
What kind of wood where you using for that
How to change the bands if they break?
Me gusto
As kids we made many a slingshot. All we used was a hand saw and whittling knife. Old bicycle inner tubes provided the rubber and a bit of shoe leather the cradle. To attach the rubber we would cut a saw kerf in the arms deep enough for the 1/2 wide rubber with knot in it and a bit of space at the top for twine to keep it taut and not slip back out. Some kids, depending I guess on whether or not their parents were racist, would call it a "&%^*$ shooter", if I ever called it that my mom or dad would have knocked me right to the ground.
I like your pets
Picked the perfect branch...
What did you use for the strap
I use the same shape branches when I'm making 'stick men' for my grandchildren.....
Rip Mr. Potato
What wood do you use most offen for tables
why does such a happy potato has to die ???😂😂
Haha! Poor potato
Oh boy. you just started a war now. PTEV are screaming at their screens because of this. (people that eat vegetables) LOL.
only you can make this into a fine woodworking project.
Can you make a crossbow sometime
Would you ever make a bow?
Andy if you are going to use posted sentences the least you could do is leave them up long enough for us old people to have time enough to read them. I enjoy your show especially when you are explaining what you are doing (with the spoken word).
God Bless my friend.
+ 1 like + 1 sup :) You have a really cool channel here. Awesome video my friend! Keep up the great work
37 second hi bro
Great job!!! Don't you want to make an arrow to? :D
Nuclear Nadal left the chat
Could you make a finer ring out of wood?
Andy, Check out “Carolina Camera- The Slingshot Man” on CZcams....He’s THE man! And, as you’ll see, holdin the slingshot horizontal isn’t the key to success...least not for ol Rufus Hussein.
Did your mic break?
