Building the Base

We first began construction with Yadi and Mckenna measuring the pieces of wood we were going to use.

The base of the catapult is 3x1 ft., with the sides being 2 ft. tall. 13 inches into the base, we added diagonal side braces which were 28 inches long. 

My father is really into construction, so we had a lot of spare wood to use for the catapult.

This is how the base of the catapult turned out.

We then screwed on a flatboard to the surface so the projectile will have a smooth surface to launch off of.
