OK, I have never presented a natural fork so far. The reason is that it is hard to find a natural that has a low and wide enough fork, which is what I prefer.
A friend of mine challenged me to make a "Phoenix" design from a natural, and I accepted.
This is the outcome!
Yes, it is a natural fork. It doesn't look like a natural at all, right?
If you want to see how this was achieved, check out the thread on the forum (too many pics for the blogger).

A very strong slingshot, perfect weight and fork dimensions.

Greetings, Joerg!
ReplyDeleteI'm following your videos at youtube. You're a genius!
Right now, I'm curious about what camera you use to record.
I would be grateful if you answer my question right here.
All the best and keep your great work.

Sure. I use a Panasonic HD5 AVCHD camcorder for my regular footage (Full HD) and a Casio EX F1 Pro for the Hispeed material (1200 frames per second, 20 times more than real time).
ReplyDeleteIs there a reason you couldn't steam and bend the forks to the angle you wanted? If so this would be even closer to natural.
