Episode 5 is now available! In our penultimate (and longest) episode, we attach the throwing arm to the base, and then finish the trigger mechanism. This episode features numerous injuries, less Benny Hill, and some awesome hats. Enjoy.

In episode four the weather takes a turn for the worse, and we’re forced inside to finish building the counter-weight bucket. After lots of gluing, clamping, and waiting, the bucket finally comes together… But what about the squirrels?
Episode 3 is ready for your viewing pleasure!
In this installment, the trebuchet is nearly destroyed when Jason attempts to turn it over. Then, after a lot of high-speed screwing (uhh… yeah), we move on and build the throwing arm.

Welcome to episode 2. In this installment, we get down to business building the basic trebuchet frame. We spend a lot of time measuring stuff, and discover that we’re easily fooled by a tape measure.
