I don’t think that a 10 year old boy can make this alone as effortlessly as you guys put it. Handsawing wood is a real pain if you have scrawny little arms.

2×4 actual dimensions 1.5″x3.5″

At this rate I’d might submit my trebuchet which is made only from various types of computer memory boards. That would be 1. a more effective design of siege engine and 2. more of a hack. Yes that item does infact exist, but I will not bother you with it really.

agree with netdigger on the fact that a 10 year old could do it. And I believe it is onager, meaning wild ass, describing the “kick” that the machine gives. ogre is a mythical creature such as shrek.

I don't think juan knows how to find hacks.

A new siege engine design could be a worthy post. A poorly implemented and inelegant one is just bothersome.

Have you guys not noticed that the black & white photos with the tape on the corners == hack?
Everything else is just cool/interesting stuff, that is perhaps on topic with some other post/hack…

Catapults are nice, but I personally prefer Trebuchets…
