I recently exchanged letters with a young man from Croatia. His name is Martin and like me,he's a big slingshot nut! We agreed to trade slingshots and I recieved mine yesterday. Martin has no power tools only a rasp and file and hand saw. He sent me two slingshots-one a tiny little Dogwood fork and a Cherry Board cut of his design. Great little slingshots and he also sent me a supply of BB's for my little Dogwood Natural. What a fine young man( he's 16 ) he is! He was apologizing for his English in his letter. I told him WHY? I wish I could write his language ( even one word!) the way he writes mine-perfect! I appreciate this gift very much and know how much work went into these frames. Really nice job Martin and I hope you are as happy with your trade as I am with mine Buddy! Thanks again, Gary ( Flatband) :wave:
