Here's an easy and simple example of how to build a trebuchet! This is what we did when we were stuck at home during the quarantine. In this video, I explain in detail, how to build a trebuchet out of scrap 2x4's, a 3/4" steel pipe, some string, and duct tape. There's nothing like building something to launch projectiles across your yard! My family and I had fun building and launching this trebuchet, and I hope it's explained well enough that you could go build one yourself.
Bonus if you can tell me what the movie quote is at the end of the video!
Let me know in the comments if you've built a trebuchet before and...
1) How tall the pivot was
2) How far you could launch stuff
