The Trebuchette

Trebuchets are pretty awesome. We think everyone should have one. Here's your chance!

The Trebuchette is a desktop-sized trebuchet with all the features of its bigger boulder-lobbing cousins at one-fiftieth scale. This foot-tall beauty will easily throw a bouncy ball down the hall, or lob a paper ball over a cubicle wall.

The Trebuchette kit just snaps together in about ten minutes,
no glue or tools required. The wooden pieces are laser-cut out of beautiful solid birch plywood with a natural oil finish, and the kit includes everything you need to lay siege, including the axles, steel counterweight, sling, strings, plastic firing pin and washer, three stand-up castle targets, and two safe rubber bouncy balls to throw.

All of the production work is done by local craftspeople and engineers in the San Francisco Bay Area, and directly overseen by us at E&M Labs. All pieces are precision engineered to fit exactly and work right the first time.

This is a serious toy, and will launch a projectile up to 40 feet. Be sure to follow the included instructions, and don't let young children fire projectiles without supervision. This toy is suitable for ages twelve and up.
