Trebuchet is designed in stainless steel with bronze bearings.The interesting apects of this design is the cantelevered pivot and the fact that there is not a bolt or nut in sight. Everything is put together with invisible fixings. The weight is filled with lead, to give a nice far throw. The trigger mechanism is embedded in the wooden base and the hook can be adjusted to throw high or to throw far. Trebuchet is 60 cm high and is designed to fling golf balls.
This machine is not for the fainthearted. Be careful with this modern war machine.
