This Forum and Paul Duffields's excellent book has inspired me to do more in my workshop, hence my attempt at my "Macapult " ( my surname is McCallum )
MarkG kindly let me have the end piece of the butt of an Army & Navy rod, and the rest I cobbled together with pieces from my "can't throw it out" box which most of us have.
As an ex Navy man I am used to polishing brass and for some unknown reason I can't bring myself to blacken the brass although i will probably regret it.
I have successfully launched some pellets into next doors garden and their cat is extremely grateful, although probably belching up Halibut gas as we speak.
