https://mikesinventions.etsy.com The SLINGSHOT is basically that, except there's really no sling, and no one gets shot this time. They do get "shot", but only in an insanely fun way. It's a bunch of conduit, garage door springs, 550 paracord, bolts, and some new-fashioned ingenuity in the form of 3D printed parts.
This is probably my longest-running project. I started buying the conduit in 2011, and just never had a great reason to finish it. Well, I figured Alex's 10th birthday was a perfect excuse to finally finish it. The boys absolutely love it, and it gives a thrill that they can't get anywhere else.
We've got a few upgrades planned, because dad really wants to be able to go on it. That's the way I always intended, after all.
