Catapult Physics Project

My son had to make a catapult for physics class. The Kreg jig came in real handy on this one!!!

Fantastic project! Definitely one of the more innovative uses for the Kreg Jig!  Great action shots as well!

Thank You. It was a challenging build at first but turned out to be a blast.

I gotta have one of these!

I want these plans - I have a whole neighborhood full of kids that would love this thing!

By the way I just used the Kreg to salvage a project where the supplied plans were grossly in error. $200.00 worth of oak would have been wasted.

Come on Chad, let your buddies have the dimensions here LOL. Did u use surgical tubing for the spring/elastics. I've use that before on a small trebuchet and it's great. Hope to hear back. Regards Pierre V

Thank you everyone for the compliments, I will get some rough measurements as soon as I get caught up with the spring lawn work. I didn't build it from plans just kinda shot from the hip on this one and it worked. Even a blind chicken gets a piece of corn once in awhile

thank you Mr. Chad, will look forward to it. Also tell us what you use as spring elastic. Tks

I just used bungee cord tie downs for the pull
