How to Make a Desktop Viking Catapult (with a bonus wargame to play).

Step 2 The Frame.

First, trim the points off the skewers. Safety firsty, don'cha know.

Use three of the skewers to make a triangle. Lash the joints together with elastic bands.

Thread two more skewers into two of the joints of your triangle, then bend them together and lash that joint with another elastic band.

You should now have a diamond-shape, with a bend in the middle (see the third picture).

Cut the last skewer in half, and lash the halves between the two parts of the diamond shape.

Stand the frame on one of the complete triangles - it should look like a mangled pyramid.
