Do you have the plans for:Onager, or a Trebuchet, or a Ballista you could pass on? - ms. ballista
I would like this to build with my son, but I'm a little under budget now. Do they want to build in the middle of bad times too! If anyone can go, I would really appreciate it!

Ms. Ballista Do You Have The Plans For:Onager, Or A Trebuchet, Or A Ballista You Could Pass On?

If you are short of funds from a trebuchet, the best way forward. I built from wood salvaged with good results. Wild donkeys are more difficult and catapults are quite complex, if properly done.
I do not know Onager plans free of charge and with the crossbow, but there are several websites that plans Treblinka. This page is quite simply genius. http://www.tasigh.org/ingenium/index.htm ...
I read an article in Scientific American some years ago by two men who built a medieval trebuchet using skills and materials. She used to run a mini to 100 meters. A few centuries has been used for biological warfare, it throws the body of an animal, like a sheep infected with anthrax in a besieged fortress. Visit his website; www.sciam.com. I'm not a great craftsman and you do not save much money, but it seemed like a viable. Above all, you can use scrap, and if you want to teach your child about this, you can reduce it. You need wood, nails, rope and a truck like a sack of stones and a pulley. You lift the weight put on the short end of the swing, and reduce dead sheep at the end of the long arm. It is a very simple device. You do not really need plans. Google only a few pictures and you can find to get the idea.
