Build a Trebuchet

Epic Fantasy and The Medieval/Renaissance subjects are closely bound together and in that spirit I have created a project on how to build a small table top trebuchet. It is a great little project that you can do in a couple of hours. This is one fine example of what medieval siege engines were all about. The Trebuchet was very popular because it was easy to build and a sieging army could find the materials to build it around the castle they were sieging. This way they didn't have to haul a big trebuchet around the countryside.
This is the same reason why it is a great little project for you to build too. It is easy to build and easy to get the materials. Check out the project here:
