Slingshot

Purpose: The purpose of the Slingshot Project is to practice recording the steps of a project on a web-portfolio.

Journal Entry 1

The first step to making a slingshot is cutting a 3"x5" piece of plywood. I used a handsaw to do this.

Next I drew a stencil on the rectangle of a slingshot. I used pencil.

I used a jigsaw to cut out my stencil. It was pretty scary at first.

Reflection

What was the final results?

I had a great time making my slingshot. I painted it a gold color and it shoots pretty far. I was surprised to see how well it shoots.
