Have fun. I can think of a few people I would have aimed that at before I retired.

I have always thought those were cool, and thought about making one. Nice job.

This is really cool. Great job and thanks for sharing. If you decide to build a really big one, and need a place to test it out, I have a neighbor that would make a perfect target! LOL

That is really cool. A great example of physics to the next guy that ticks you off. Great Job

-- Just trying to build something beautiful

OK, now that you’ve got the design down, build the bigger on in time for Halloween as a pumpkin launcher.

That is a great job for Sketchup. Your patience to plan this in Sketvhup is worthy of note. Your ability is so noticed.

This is really cool, I have a lot of targets within a 25’ radius in my office!

nice job, I made one(although not that good) me and son had a table war with peanut buttercup’s

-- Money: if you do not have fun earning it, have fun spending it, I do not enjoy spending it so I have fun earning it.

Nice!

-- A person of integrity never speaks of it...he walks in it...

My son built one about 8 years ago and won his school science fair with it.

Your project brought back nice memories.

I still have it on my bookshelf behind my computer.

-- Before you criticize someone, you should walk a mile in their shoes. That way, when you criticize them, you're a mile away and you have their shoes.

Nice job and what a coincidence. I started building one for my G-kids when my saw crapped out. (a blessing in itself). Did you know that there are competitions with the trebuchet throwing pumpkins and watermelons? At least here in NJ there is, so I am sure they are held in other states as well.

Next stop, Pumkin’ Chunkin’... oh yeah… ;)

Hey, will you post the Sketchup plans?

-- Beer, Beer, Thank God for Beer. It's my way of keeping my mind fresh and clear...

Milo, here is a link to my shops facebook page (I hope this works, I am not real computer savy) that has the image of the Sketchup plan, is there a way that I can post the actual file? BTW, my facebook page will show details of all my builds.

I want to thank everyone who has shown such great interest and support in my projects. I must admit to being a bit embarrassed to have 4 of my projects chosen to be in the Daily Top 3 over the past few days. I think that there are so many more projects in Lumberjocks that are more deserving. Your support has given me the encouragement and drive to work harder and to learn more about our wonderful passion of woodworking.

Thanks again!
