Quick-n-Dirty Trebuchet

Step 5: Weight Hook

This is the weight hook. It's just a paper clip wrapped around the end of the boom. The side of the boom with the rubber band is up and the side with the metal is down. (the pretty wrap job went away when I increased the size of my curve - but this is what is there now and it works fine). Make the weight hook rest on the top of the boom.

To attach the weight hook to the boom use another rubber band. Just wrap it over the parts that are touching the chopstick. Make this rubber band tight.
