In this tutorial I show you how to make a rubber band powered catapult out of PVC plastic pipe. It is a small desktop sized catapult and easy to make. PVC is plastic pipe that is readily available at all hardware stores and it is very inexpensive. Same thing with all the fittings and elbows you see in the catapult. You can get them right off the shelf and they are very cheap.
Just about the only thing you need to make this catapult is some kind of a saw to cut the plastic pipe. It is the perfect catapult project if you don't have any woodworking stuff. Any kind of small handsaw would work.
Even a serrated kitchen knife can cut this plastic pvc piping but.... get an adults help with that. And don't use a kitchen knife without a parents permission!
I give you a complete parts list so you can get all the parts and put the catapult together quickly and easily.
The tutorial and template for this catapult are on my website here:
