Step 7Parts D+E
Now it is time to attach your supports. For Part D, cut four pieces (four layers apiece) that are 41 inches long. These pieces should be 6 inches wide on one end and 3 inches wide on the other.
Glue these piece to the bottom of Part C as shown on the second picture.
Part E are by far the most important supports. I tried firing the trebuchet without Part E and it had so much power that it ripped off all of the supports I had just put on in Part D.
Cut out pieces that are 4 inches wide and 27 inches long. You will need four pieces that have 12 layers each. Glue these pieces together. Trace the exact angles you will need on both the ends onto each of your pieces. Cut the pieces to shape and glue them in place. See pictures for clarity.
