Re: Trebuchet (Joining Lumber)
The plan from the very beginning was to have it able to break down in to 5-6 major components, most of which lay flat. (minus the counterweight box of course)
We were talking about moving the sides in a little to shorten the shaft. That's 5/8" steel from Home Depot, and bushings and shaft collars from McMaster, for the record.
The problem I see with using a 1x6 for the entire arm is warping from humidity and damage in transportation, I'd feel a lot better tossing a 2-by in the back of the van and putting stuff on top of it.

I joined FIRST and stuck with it. It was nice enough to return the favor.
