Heroic Dreams - All Things Medieval

I have been working on two new catapults. They are the Goblin (Small one) and the Ogre (large one). The Ogre is two feet long with a three foot throwing arm and the Goblin is ten inches long.

I will be posting complete tutorials on these onto my website in the coming days and I am designing the goblin for mass production so eventually I will be selling goblins as a kit.

The Ogre is kind of interesting in that it only took me two hours to make and it uses 2×3’s and a bungee cord. It’s not something that should be used indoors.

The Goblin has some nice little features about it like an system for adjusting the tension so you can get various strength settings. Developing a project like this for use as a product has been a fun experience for me because there it takes a lot of work to develop a product that is functional, fun and yet cost effective.

Here is a closer look at the goblin catapult:

I do have several projects already posted to my catapult subsite including a really small popsicle stick catapult and a mid-sized catapult called The Table Top Troll. Catapult Crazy . And here is my youtube video showing the Goblin and the Ogre
