Trebuchet of the large variety (a work in progress), 4.28.07 update

Step 5 Initial assembly

With the base and main supports both about two-thirds of the way done and no lumber to work with last weekend, I decided to put this thing together. There's not much instruction here, it was just nice to see how the project was progressing. The diagonal supports that can be seen are temporary. Things bolted together nicely and it was, on the whole, very intimidating...

Definitely like your use of wood joints; old school strength.
