The Inventables X-carve sure opens the door to making your designs come to life. In this video, I use Fusion360 to design a trebuchet and then I export the Gcode to Easel to cut out the pieces on my X-carve. Don't have a CNC? No problem! I show you how you can make one using ordinary tools as well. With the trebuchets together, I created a fun yard game using them to knock down castle targets made from stacked up pop cans. If you'd like to build this for yourself, you'll find step-by-step plans with printable templates available on my website. Thanks for watching!

Really great mixture of automated tools versus hand/power tools. You never fail to impress my brother. I mean honestly who builds two trebuchets To play what looks to be a makeshift a game of corn hole in the backyard. I’ll tell you who, Drew is Who. And it’s awesome
-
I always appreciate it when you not only show how to do something with the CNC, but also with traditional tools. Great video!

"... but, I didn't necessarily want this thing to throw the tennis ball into the neighboring county." 🤣🤣🤣

COOLEST. PROJECT. EVER. And fricken hilarious!!! Well done!

As shown in your first outtake, the cnc will do EXACTLY what you tell it to do. If you accidentally tell it to destroy itself, it'll merrily go about doing that. Thanks much for the information and the humor. Thumbs up to crush a troll.

Your videos are always a delight
-
This is amazing, simple as that. Definitely going to be picking up these plans to make them for my kids. Thank you for doing this with the jigsaw too, as there's no way I'll be investing in an x-carve any time soon and I can't wait to get in the shop and get these made!
