Hey all! I'm a complete noob - recently been enjoying some videos on youtube by a certain german fellow and have an itch to build a slingshot..

The laws in my state SEEM to prohibit commercially manufactured slingshots specifically, but not home made slingshots (they do prohibit all slingshots with arm braces).. so I think I'm ok to make my own..

Anyhow, will be enjoying the forums and hopefully I can create something soon.

That 'certain' German fellow has alot to answer for. I'm here because of him and I can't get out!!! I'm quite sure there are many others with this insane affliction purely because they strayed into some obscure YT channel and bam!
I'm starting a charity to pay for research into this tragic compulsive obsission and donations are most welcome and will be well spent (mostly on beer but whatever it takes right?)

Cheers ringburn from another mate in Victoria

He certainly does, like having the majority of the slingshot community calling Plywood 'multiplex'

However, it is a true testament as to his influence on the sport.
