  • Now look, Boomerangs are Awesome and are Great Fun to Fly. However, when l was a young fella back in high school they were BANNED as every kid brought one to school which was chaotic at recess and lunch times....boomerangs were flying everywhere which eventually led to them being banned for safety reasons. Fancy that, something fun being banned!!
    Anyway, not dwelling one the past, as part of the Dainer Made "Offcuts Only 23 Challenge" l decided to recreate my childhood and made one of these exciting little boomerangs.
    I hope you enjoy it 👍😁

    My father bought the Hasbro version of this boomerang for me and my brother back in the late 60's. They were made of hard plastic with sharp edges. Took me about ten minutes of unsupervised throwing to take one in the face that sliced into both my eyebrows so they flopped down into my eyes. Still have the scars 55 years later.

      @diyforknuckleheads Dad gave them to us, showed how to throw, and catch, then went inside. It was probably 1967, or 1968. Kids were less protected then.

    I had a commercial one that I got on a camp trip when I was a kid.
    We went to some sort of boomerang making place in country Victoria somewhere.
    They told us to hold it vertically and flick it with the wrist.
    Had many times where we were on the ground with our hands over our heads when we lost sight of it and you could hear it coming in.
    Ended up running over it with the mower one day.
    Apparently Boomerangs and Honda mowers are natural enemies in the wild.
    Great job and very nice paint scheme.
    Thanks for the video.

    Boomerangs being banned reminds me a lot of Yo Yo's getting banned when I was a kid in the 90's. Kids kept getting better and better yoyo's made out of aluminium and titanium, eventually slinging them on the ultra thin strings and launching them across the playground. Few kids got hit in the head pretty hard and bam, banned. But that's what happen when you have a bunch of kids that do shoot the moon and around the world as many times and as fast as they could all recess long.

    Love playing with these…back in 1985, while at a Club Med in Sicily, I took my boomerang along with me….hehe the looks I got from both locals and holiday makers as I threw my boomerang out over the Mediterranean…..priceless, maybe I was and am the only person to have thrown a boomerang on that island…..still got my two boomerangs, one is a very fast smaller one, the other a large slow but very returnable one….love playing around with them, just need plenty of space……get the angle right, a regular hold or a dingle grip, and then catch using a two handed clapping technique…and you can have all the fun you ever want…cheers…now to find an empty space on my small island home of Jersey.

    I'm a first time viewer, my friend, and as I, too, spent the golden years of 1979-1984 in a comprehensive school, in the North-East of England, I feel like I know exactly where your reminiscing story took you (I was there, mate, trying to duck as eleventy million homemade boomerangs whizzed through the playground air! This image was accompanied by the brilliant bass tones of 'A land Down-Under' by "Men at Work'.... what a totally class tune!!! "With a hippy-trail, head full of zombies!" hahah) I even had a boomerang myself that Santa left me one snowy Christmas morn, with me looking outside at 4ft of snow, thinking, 'Er, I think Santa has given me Bruce's presents instead of mine by mistake! He's probably opening a thick wooly scarf with matching bobble-hat, thinking... 'WTF!' 🤔 lol. I'm liking "The cut of your jib", and so have hit that subscribe button and joint your merry crew!

    Love the paint job. In 7th grade we had drafting and shop class and a boomerang was one of the projects. Draw it then make it. They were the traditional 2 blade models about 24”
    Across.. They flew quite well when clear coated.

    When I was a kid back in the 1950s and 1960s we made conventionally shaped boomerangs using 5/8" plywood coated with epoxy paint which helped their longevity. They were heavy but flew great. We tried using the boomerangs to hunt pheasants in the local fields but never got any. The big surprise was when the boomerang came streaking toward the flying pheasants they would crash dive into the brush as though the boomerang was a hawk or eagle attacking them.

    • @diyforknuckleheads

    • @BooBaddyBig
      @BooBaddyBig Před 9 měsíci +1

      I think the Aboriginal hunting rangs were basically just heavy sticks and didn't return. Non returning boomerangs work better for hunting because they don't curve. For hunting you want the boomerang to go as straight as possible towards the target, otherwise they'll see the movement across their retina and have a chance to react.
