You can build one using the plan that is available from the <a href="http://22adartillery.wordpress.com/2010/02/15/a-genuine-can-o-kick-ass/">22AD Artillery blog</a> for a compelled $1 donation to the research fund. The plan is full size so you can glue it directly to the wood for cutting and comes with photo instructions. there is an additional experimentation and history sheet included with the PDF file so its ideal for teaching some history and physics to the kids.</p> <p>Current range is about 10 foot and if you happen to have a model making bandsaw like me then you can make one out of some hard wood and get much more range if you so desire. Origionally I had planned to make something that glued together but it turned out that the model worlks well just being slotted together meaning you’ll be able to change rubber bands without breaking it apart.</p> <p>Please note all catapulting posts are being migrated to the <a href="http://22adartillery.wordpress.com/">22AD blog</a> so please get used to looking there for you flinging needs.</p> </div> <p class="postmetadata"> <img src="https://s2.wp.com/wp-content/themes/pub/contempt/images/blog/speech_bubble.gif" alt="" /> <a href="https://hittingmetalwithahammer.wordpress.com/2010/02/15/a-genuine-can-o-kick-ass/#respond">Leave a Comment »</a> | <img src="https://s2.wp.com/wp-content/themes/pub/contempt/images/blog/documents.gif" alt="" /> <a href="https://hittingmetalwithahammer.wordpress.com/category/siege-engines/" rel="category tag">Siege engines</a> | <img src="https://s2.wp.com/wp-content/themes/pub/contempt/images/blog/permalink.gif" alt="" /> <a href="https://hittingmetalwithahammer.wordpress.com/2010/02/15/a-genuine-can-o-kick-ass/" rel="bookmark" title="Permanent Link to A genuine Can-o-Kick Ass.">Permalink</a> <br /><img src="https://s2.wp.com/wp-content/themes/pub/contempt/images/blog/figure_ver1.gif" alt="" /> Posted by Murray </p> </div> <hr /> <div class="post-2773 post type-post status-publish format-standard hentry category-hitting-metal-with-a-hammer tag-friday-afternoon-lashout" id="post-2773"> <h2><a href="https://hittingmetalwithahammer.wordpress.com/2010/02/12/friday-afternoon-lashout-2/" rel="bookmark">Friday Afternoon Lashout</a></h2> <small>February 12, 2010</small><br /> <div class="entry"> <p>Just the one today and with a specific message this time. <img src="/DOCUME%7E1/LabUser/LOCALS%7E1/Temp/moz-screenshot.png" alt="" /> <img src="/DOCUME%7E1/LabUser/LOCALS%7E1/Temp/moz-screenshot-1.png" alt="" />Guy Earle, a Canadian commedian is being taken to the Canadian human rights nazis by a couple lesbians one the grounds that he is “homophobic” and his response their abuse was based on his hatred of lesbians and gays.聽 The Canadian supreme court has already told the tribunal to get off the grass but evidently they are law unto themselves.</p> <p>The very simple reality is that the concept of two young woem tounging eachother out does not result in homophobia in ANY functional male.
