The Maker Shed is brought to you by Maker Media, the makers of MAKE Magazine, the Maker Faire, and much more.
Launched originally as a source for back issues of MAKE Magazine, the Maker Shed expanded rapidly to meet the demand for 'projects in a box,' otherwise known as kits. Now we have a little bit of everything for makers, crafters, and budding scientists, from Arduinos to sock monkeys to chemistry sets .
Who doesn’t love a good trebuchet? This comprehensive Trebuchet Kit (available in the Maker Shed) is 100% hand made in Michigan by people who spend their free time launching pumpkins. Once the precision cut pieces are glued together, you’ll have a trebuchet that stands 19″ tall and launches objects up to 30 feet. Everything you need to build the kit is included, right down to the glue and ammunition. No special tools are needed for assembly although a set of clamps will make it much easier. Just add your own counterweight (loose change works well) and you’ll be laying siege before you know it!
Perfect for groups, schools, and anyone who likes launching objects. (Sorry about the blurry video, we’ll make a better one soon.)
