I am attempting to copy a catapult i saw on ebay USA,the shank is long and is carved into a chain in one piece without splitting or joining the wood at all,this is a very arduous task and has taken 7 hours to get to the stage that i am at now,
i had hoped to use my dremel for the intricate separation of the links but the brushes broke and so i used a 3 inch section of scroll saw blade,
i still need to do the sanding and the grooves for the flat bands,oh yes nearly forgot,the last link will be a wooden padlock.
thanks for looking.
