TREBUCHET

Hello everyone. This is my Home made trebuchet. I started this November 14th of 2020 and finished it January 4th of 2022. With rocks filled to the brim, it throws just a hair under a professional football field!!! But with proper counterweight, it will hold 1,330 lbs in the box. (Keep in mind, the mathematics for the longest distance is 133 Lbs per 1 Lb projectile) so with 1,330 lbs, we are looking to throw a 10 lbs rock, pumpkin, bowling ball etc. whatever you want (: I guarantee you won’t find another trebuchet on OfferUp Especially this well constructed. I’ve put over 400 hours into this project and worked through every mistake. To be perfect was my goal, which I definitely reached! It’s sad to post it, but I built it to sell. If you would like to see this in person please message me. You won’t be disappointed I Promise. It’s perfect for a farm or a lake to launch whatever you desire. Awesome for parties or whatever event you have going on. It definitely stands out. Oh and everything is removable and can be disassembled. But keep in mind, the longer the wood sits on its own, the more of a chance the wood can warp. If that happens the holes might not match up with the mortise and tenon slots, rods and bolts, fulcrum bar etc. message me for details hope you enjoy the photos (: Construction includes -Treated Lumber from Menards. -1/4 inch steel reinforcement plates from Adam Steel. -1 3/4 inch cold rolled steel bar (the fulcrum). -handmade crank system. -welded box constructed from cut and re-welded angle irons. - SRGNT KNOTS Pro Manila 3/4 inch rope. -cow hide for the leather pouch. -Menards treated lumber stain and lacquer - 1/2 inch and 3/4 inch galvanized threaded rods and bolts.
