Description: I was commissioned by Xbox to make and operate a trebuchet for a film celebrating the launch of their new game Age of Empires IV and it is now mine! What???? Simple really, they wanted one, I built it, they paid me and then needed to dispose of it after the film; I simply helped with all stages of the problem............and here it is and ready for flinging. It goes without saying I have always wanted to build one and discover all about them and this is a perfect opportunity to do just that, so over the next few months I plan to tune it and shoot it - a lot. Understand it, explain it and film it all. I want to look at how they work, tuning and aiming, accuracy large projectiles, multiples, weird loads, incendiaries and who knows what else.
