in today’s video we’re going to be
making some proto cutty Angry Birds and
a giant three foot tall slingshot to
shoot them out of Angry Birds do people
still play Angry Birds Angry Birds that
we can shoot out of giant slingshot into
towers of wood and stone and pigs that
will break on contact with the ground
this should be fun to start off we’re
gonna mix up some proto patty and make
our red angry bird it’s not going to be
quite the size of this picture this is
just for reference I’m aiming for about
the size of a tennis ball here’s the
basic plan we’ve got proto putty we’re
gonna mix it up in a bunch of different
colors and sculpt it into three Angry
Birds then we’ll take some 4×4 beams and
a large rubber band and make ourselves a
giant slingshot that can launch these
birds we don’t want to make that much
proto putty and wait so long for to cure
so we’re gonna start with foil and wrap
now looks like about the right shape
[Applause]
[Music]
well we’ve got our Birds made so now
it’s time to move on to what throws them
we need to build a giant slingshot and
I’m gonna be shooting for a slingshot
that is three feet tall on top of a base
that gives us some leverage to fire it
this board on top of some two by fours
is gonna be the base just get a quick
measurement that is 4 inches combined
the slingshot of course is shaped like a
giant why we want it to be about 18
inches to the fork and another 18 inches
on top of that and then we’ll add 4
inches to the base so it’ll be a 22 inch
initial bar and then another 18 inches
of Forked height
will cut 45-degree angles off both sides
of the top so it kind of comes up and
then pyramids into a point I guess
pyramid will be on all four sides we’re
a beam is gonna attach at the 45 degree
angle and we want this joint to meet up
and of course we’re gonna want another
one on the other side so to make those
line up we need to add take off another
45 degree corner right here right where
it lines up now we’re actually gonna do
some measuring against the next piece to
figure out exactly what angle this is
going to be at so for now I’m just gonna
cut off about a foot of it and then
we’ll trim it more precisely later we’ll
want a total of 18 inches from this
point so I don’t like that that’ll leave
our slingshot ending right about here
it’s like it’s gonna be pretty good now
we want these angles to line up just
right so we’re gonna mark right there
right there
[Music]
lovely 15 inches you’re right about
there if we’re off by a little bit that
is so not a problem that is looking like
a giant slingshot I’m loving it the one
thing I don’t like about it is how very
boxy it is and so I think we’re gonna
take a table saw and cut off all of the
corners at 45 degree angles turning each
of these pieces into an octagonal
cylinder and then we’re gonna bolt them
all together our table saw should be set
up so that it will now cut off the
bottom corner of each of these pieces as
I rotate it I hopefully have it set up
so each of the eight sides will be even
so it’s like a an equal octagon we’ll
there’s our first piece the sides might
not be 100% equal but they’re close
enough for me it looks pretty good and
that’s definitely a rounder look than we
had before so one arm is round we’ve got
four more pieces to go just the exact
same way there we go all of our pieces
are now trimmed down and this right here
is the biggest offender when I was
saying that the lines wouldn’t
necessarily match up because of the
angle we’ve got cut into it
so we’re gonna have some little bits of
corner sticking out right there but
that’s okay now we want this whole thing
to be assembled strong and powerfully so
I can pull back on it as hard as I want
it’s not going to damage it so we’ve got
a whole bunch of these bolts we’re gonna
do some drilling and some bolting and
hook this thing all together hopefully
these bolts won’t run into each other
but we’ll see
[Music]
that is a three-foot-tall slingshot well
three foot and four inches because I
added a little bit to the bottom we now
need to make a base that this can rest
in so that’ll just stay in place and we
can easily pull against the elastic
which obviously has not been added yet
but I love how this thing looks it’s
good and sturdy I think it will hold up
well to whatever we shoot out of it oh
that’s heavy the reason I added four
extra inches onto the bottom of the
slingshot is we’re going to add a hole
into the base and drop this through well
then add lots of supports around where
it drops through so it should be nice
and sturdy we can pull against it while
we’ve got the arms and body of the
slingshot and now we need to add on this
piece of stretchy latex to be the firing
band this is an exercise band that we
are going to repurpose for our own needs
[Music]
obviously it needs to be attached a
little bit better than just holding it
on the tape won’t be visible once we’re
actually using this because the rubber
is going to wrap all the way around and
then over the tape and then once the
rubber is wrapped around the friction of
the rubber on the rubber should do a
pretty good job of holding it so that
the tape isn’t even necessary the tape
is mostly just there to hold it well I’m
not firing it it launched clearly but if
you saw how much it was spinning and I’m
pretty sure it did catch the rubber as
it was launching out and it didn’t
really go straight it just stuck on
something that’s not bad that worked
better
the birds are made the slingshot is
built and now we need some targets so
join us tomorrow as we turn some eggs
into some fragile green pigs set them up
in their nice fancy towers and use the
slingshot to try and knock them down
with birds hey guys thanks for watching
