One thing I forgot to include with the previous post on our Team Work Trebuchet is some video from a nova presentation that dealt with building a replica of "WarWolfe" the infamous trebuchet commissioned by one of my Ancestors Edward "Longshanks" King of England.
Here are the videos
This episode is one of the best I have seen on trebuchets. It details the physics behind the design as well as typical issues of the day. It is so cool that a bunch of guys were willing to take their time and energy and prove that "WarWolfe" was not far fetched inpractial or plausible thing to be built.
hat should do it for now. I should have some pictures and comments on the actual build later in the week or a few days down the road.
