Mil bro pattern Catapult

[topknot]

Hi ,

I was around my mate place chatting in front of the wood burner before xmas about grab bag and what to put in them one thing came to mind food and how to get it.
Well we came up with a Catapult small and light so this is what i made up. The pattern is of the old Milbro type that was cut out of Ally, which i have drill holes for the brass bar to keep the handle on. The wood for the handle scale's came from a bin. All i got to do is find some band's for it and a bit of leather.

This is it cleaned up .

Thank you for looking
All comments welcome

Cheers Topknot

Ah! The Milbro. I remember many a bruised thumb because of the Milbo catty when I was younger.

That looks a nice job though.
