The Office Siege Weapon Series: The Pencil Trebuchet

Step 4 Make the throwing arm

first, you need to take two scrap pecies of pencil and glue them as shown. then, renforce the connection with electrical tape so the two pencils dont wiggle. (you may need to use three scrap pieces to connect them. i used three because i ran out of hot glue.)

then, you drill a hole at each end and one about three inches up from one side paralel to the other two.

after that, cut a piece off of a paperclip about two inches long. then, secure it to the longer end of the arm with rubber bands or glue.
