:cool: Thanks a second time for the treb info-I'll chase it up soon as I can stop chasing me own tail!  :cries.gif:

As for Scott drinks moat*#@er's girlfriend, I personally think that she just wants to be sure there is a trebuchet big and powerful enough to fire Scott drinks moat*#@er over the castle walls should her lady get the urge!  :rasp.gif: But seriously, firing large fruit missiles from the battlements is the only reason I'm building a castle, so I want to make sure that the trebuchets are workably correct.  :angry: See you at the Diner. :cool:

yeah, you know there will come a time when we're looking at it thinking "gee, think it could handle tossing a body in the moat?"

 

Why dont you try it?

 

Im not going to try it, YOU try it.

 

Hey, let's get Mikey...

Duncanwent to the treb links you provided. One got me to COTW, where I did a search, but came up zilch. I checked some of the obvious links to weaponry, but again, nothing. Did you find something specific in there somewhere? I e-mailed the Timber Framer's Guild as well-waiting for response. Meanwhile, I'll keep looking.   :O

Cripes, its not the first time that site has had link problems.

I'm sure you did all this.

When you go into the search

 

use Trebuchets as a search word

search all open....

intire...

any date...

 

or if you want to weed through a bunch of posts use duncan as the name with the above info and leave the search word open.

and make sure that little round dot is checked.

 

thats all i can think of sorry. I can pinch my post form there but refrain from copying some one else's sorry and mine are not the good ones  LOL.

 

some of the posts in this topic....when i first did the search i had about 12 topics and now this is all i can get from the search. ABOUT NORMAL for that site

 

what made castles obsolete eg. why aren't castles built today

 

Weapons  

 

Trebuchets

I'll load it up and give it a whirl.  :sigh.gif:

Thanks! I got it. Good links. Waiting on e-mail responses now.

Should be no problem. Strange...I almost felt as if I was in the illegal weapons trade or something...pssst-can you sell me a trebuchet? I'm using it solely for educational reasons, promise.  :cool: What cantelpoes? Oh, these ones? I'm just a little hungry, that's all. Yeah, I eat about 20 at a time, that's right. :sigh.gif:

Well, being as I have all sorts of useless info on hand, figured I would share. This first site is totally for fun and I apologize if anyone is offended by it. I didn't choose what they put in the thing!

sweet...now we can get back at Scott drinks moat*#@er and make him swim in his own moat*#@er.....he he he....

(ZZ TOP: "She's got Liiinks! And she know how to use them!. She's got Liiiiinks; and she knows how to choose them!...") Sorry, Laureen, just had to! :D

Thanks, Galla! I esp like the Treb Math link..I found a similar program to test your treb before actually making it on another site devoted to trebs, but these are all great! Definately post any other useful links you may want to share. there is a section for them somewhere that we all like to share in The Hallowed Halls, I think. :beerchug.gif:

Thats OK Steve, you can sing, I don't mind. I have the volume off anyway...LOL
