Project Information
Please see the edit for a measurement mistake I made. Sorry guys… I'm full of type o's.
Scrap wood project… Christmas Gift for the kids
I built these using a photo I saw on line. I had to guess at the measurements. I think they turned out ok!
Our 6 year old twin Grandchildren will have fun Catapulting ping pong balls at each other or playing a game of trying to get them into a bucket. It's a simple to make toy. I used up some wood scraps laying around the shop and found some ping pong balls at the Dollar Tree store. 4 packs of 8 balls =32 for $4 bucks, this should keep them busy for a while!
All comments good or bad welcome! Thanks for looking!
PS.. Those small bungee cords work well too! See them in the last picture.
Update….
It was bought to my attention that I left out the measurement for the axle. From the top of the uprights measure down 3 1/2" and attach it there. I also fixed the measurement on the plan.
Thanks Pete!
