![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() I took four paper clips and bent them all to have equall angles then taped them to the end of the pencil. Making the hook is difficult for me, so I'll just give a brief explanation. The biggest flaw of my grappling hook is the hook! This means I won't be givng much instructions on how to build the hook, if anybody has any great ideas to help me out with this then feel free to post them in the comments.ġ. Now put the lid back on, the only rubber band you should see is the knots by the holes on the side of the container, and the stretch of rubber band that runs over the large whole on the lid.Ĭongatulations on finishing the launching mechanism, double check that the rubber band is crossing the hole on the lid, it is imperative that the rubber band crosses over the hole on the lid. Do the same to the other side of the rubber band in the other hole, the rubber band should be taught now. Another option would be to tie it off then run it through the hole, then the lid, whatever works for you is just fine. Then run it through one of the side holes that was big enough for the rubber band to fit through, then tie it off so the rubber band won't slip back through the hole. Run the rubber band through one of the holes you drilled in the lid. What you are going to do in this step is put the rubber band in place.ġ. This step is simple, but tricky, you may find yourself drilling some extra holes in order to make this work properly. Make a really tiny whole anywhere on the container, all this whole has to do is have a piece of thread run through it.Ĭongratulations! You just finished preparing the body for your grappling hook! Find a drill bit that is slightly larger than the pencil that you are going to use and drill stright throught the canister the long way, make sure that you drill dead center throught the canister and that you also manage to drill through the lid. Using a slightly larger bit than previously used, drill two holes on opposite sides of the lid. 2. Wrap the rubber band over the cap to see how far each end will reach on the sides of the canister, drill a whole, that is the size of the rubber band, below that point on each side. Do your best to keep them on opposite sides of the container. This step will detail how to prepare the body for the launcher. It involves a lot of drilling, some drilling, and alittle more drilling for good measure.ġ. Take your rubber band and cut it in half, don't worry, it will be O.K, just cut it in half. 9. Power drill- just needs to be strong enough to drill through your film canister. Drill bits- they should all be about the same size, but slightly larger than the thickness of the rubber band. Scissors- anything sharper than safety scissors will be just fine. 6. Tape- scotch tape should work, duct tape should work, masking tape should work, as long as it's tape it should work. Paper clips- not jumbo sized, not mini sized, but just right sized, just like Goldilocks and the Three Bears. ![]() Rubber band- anything thick will due, just make sure that it is not thing, do as I say and not as I do. Pencil or pen- whatever you due do not use a pencil with an eraser, your project will fall apart rather quickly if you do. Thread- just some sewing thread, just be sure it's not to thick or it won't run properly due to the friction and wieght of the thread. If you are adventurous then feel free to try a square box, just be sure to tell me how it works out! 2. Film canister- or just any tiny cylinder with a lid, a pill bottle would also work. What does every project need? What's that you say? Materials? Well your wrong, you need ingredients! In this case all your ingredients for this project should be found in your junk drawer, except for the drill and bits. ![]()
