The Office Siege Weapon Series: The Pencil Trebuchet

Step 2 Make the frame part one

to make the frame for your trebuchet, the first thing you do is cut half of the tips off of the wood end of four pencils (look at pics). glue two together at about a 60 degree angle.

now, cut an indentation about 3 inches above the eraser end of the frame on both sides. then, trim another pencil to fit in these, so that you end up with an A-frame shape. (you should have two A-frames now.) Next, drill a hole in the top of the A frame where the two pencils are joined.

How do I cut a pencil like that?

You cut just to the lead with an exacto knife, then the wood should separate easy.
