Trebuchet Projects

Here is a great little trebuchet made out of popsicle sticks. This project was built and submitted by Tom Wilson. My thanks to Tom for this project. How to make a popsicle stick trebuchet

Here is a great trebuchet built by James. He calls it "The Big Pumpkin". This is a good example of how a pretty big trebuchet can be built out of some pieces of 2x4 and 2x3's. My thanks to James for the great picture!

Here is another great trebuchet picture. This was built and submitted by James too. It's a good example of how you can be creative with wood and make all kinds of shapes and sizes of trebs.

New Project: Here is a great trebuchet project made out of office supplies that a web visitor has submitted. The Office Supply Trebuchet

The Bicycle Wheel Trebuchet Project - Complete with video This is a crazy project that uses a bowling ball as a counterweight. It really builds up some energy. It is so powerful that the frame broke twice. Each time I had to reinforce it.

Trebuchet projects submitted by Web Visitors. These trebs show some nice ingenuity and some effective improvements on my trebuchet design

Trebuchets Built By Web Visitors

Is it possible to build this trebuchet successfully? It sure is! A web visitor has built one, and taken pictures. He has also made a nice little design improvement to it. His treb has a neat little locking bar so you can lock it in the ready position then pull the pin to fire it off. You can see pictures of his Trebuchet and his design improvement here.

Another great trebuchet project submitted by a web visitor. This treb is a big success and the builder has done some great research that will help you build an even better trebuchet! He also carefully explains the optimal weight ratio between the counterweight and the projectile Check it out here for some great tips and information

Here is a neat little project that somebody made (Adil). He made his trebuchet at half the size of the project here. And he did a little modification. Instead of using the long string and pouch he used a spoon to hold the projectile -- this is similar to how an Onager works. Nice work on this little trebuchet project -- it shows some good improvisation. He also made a little castle to assault with his siege engine and he created two videos that you can watch here Mini Trebuchet Project If you are having trouble with your trebuchet string and pouch these videos show a nice alternative. If you want to make a smaller one you should check this one out.

Here is another trebuchet that a web visitor built. It is by Gabe C. I call this one the Ferrari of Trebuchets because of the excellent custom paint job including flames! Gabe also made a couple of very nice improvements on my design that you might want to check out. Gabe C's Trebuchet

The Little Dragon Trebuchet Project - Complete tutorial with lots of pictures on how to make this table top trebuchet. This is a nice little afternoon project you can make out of small pieces of wood and a little bit of time. It's a really great example of how a trebuchet works.

Trebuchet Videos - There are some crazy and enormous Trebuchets out there including one made for a volkswagen commercial and one that fires humans Treb Vids

This is a Storm The Castle Project
