Description: I made a trebuchet for a computer game launch and it wasn't quite like I would have made it for myself; they gave it to me afterwards so I needed to improve it. This film is about those changes. The film is a bit detailed and a bit talky, but from now on I will be throwing more and talking less, so here we go!
