Looks awesome! Like the design to.
Thank You Snader and good to see you around!
That looks awesome Tremo! Great work!
Hi FIAAO! Thanks a lot mate!
Hi Tremo,
incredible work. Realy nice shape. The dimensions are looking like that it´s a nice pocket shooter.
Is it right? Four thumbs up. (my wife is standing behind me)
Greetings

Slingpit my friend thanks for your question!
You know EDC and pocket-ability is an important issue for me. Tips of this frame are 30mm for powerful single bands, so the head has an average or a bit over width around 100mm. The grip is pretty narrow to be able to simply tuck into pocket or belt. This design is mostly made with aluminum in mind. But with most of the alu frames I have a weight issue. A common weight for a frame like this is about 220-270 grams, but it's not so comfy for me. So beside the slick and flat design one of the guidelines was to keep the weight below 200 grams without loosing strength or without ergo problems.
I will polish this design based on my current shooting tests, so some dimensions will change but will keep the fine pocket-ability. For example the small knob (below the hole at the corner of the grip) is for an easy pull out from the pocket.
Greetings to Your wife! I know you as a great person, I'm just sure She is too!
Cheers, Tremo
Hi Tremoside!
Really great work! Youre GOOOOOD!

And mine is much "Wrenchier" than yours!
NAnananaahhna!
After this trolling around, please take revenge!
Lay your screen to the ground and pee on this post!
Hey Baller-Bub! That's a lovely design on the wrench theme! No doubt it's a hot topic for a craftsman! I skipped the piss process, these cables are holding my screen pretty tight. But I will work on it if next time I miss the namecheck. I promise
Mass production and then get rich?
Hi FilipNilssob,
A question in medias res? There's not much room here to really explain my thoughts, but just let me tell you I mostly learn from making these slingshots. I like making slingies as a design area that's complex enough. There's ergonomics, technology, CAD, physics, mass- and custom made processes. For an industrial designer it is FUN! But I mostly like the feedback from my friends here, good or bad it's all value!
Tremo, you never fail to amaze! And yet again, your creativity is excellent! Great work sir, you really should produce these. I am sure you would have many, many customers!
Hi Will! Thank You very much my friend! I'm really enjoying the making of these and hope I can make few nice pieces. Your always positive attitude is a treasure! Thanks Will!
Glad You like it!
If this fits so well the hand how it looks, then go into production.
If this one shoots that good how it looks, then go into production.
If you can produce it to an acceptable price, then...
Do you need more hints?
Nice job!
...
Hi LW, You just made a schedule for me! Or is it taken from the practical guide to design slingshots?
Ok I promise I will follow these steps and if you don't mind I will always turn to you for inspiration in precise craftsmanship and well thought forms!
Bests, Tremo
Hey Tremo,
LW´s right! Great job done on that one!!
You need to know that this one is just great!
And even more you need to know that the forum-crowd
curiously waits for relevant things to be posted..
.. like this truly innovative shooter! !!!!!
thanks for that!
kind regards,
Be
Hi Be, Your words are sweet, thank you so much! Hope I can handle time and focus on these projects. I already profited a lot from your Accuracy Thread! That helped me a lot to make a comparison between few designs.
Curiously waiting what's next from You! Keep that elbow greased!
Bests, Tremo
Tremo, your designs are always artistic yet undeniably manly, this one looks like a hatchet effed a crescent wrench! I would love to try one, that is, if you can reverse it for left handed shooting. It's sometimes an asspain being a lefty in a right handed world. I really believe you have a highly marketable design here, great work man!
Hi Dolo,
Thank You so much for your kindness! You know am semi ambidextrous. Right handed but holding the frame in my right. Also a bit problematic that I have a semi ambidextrous (~30%) cross eye dominance. So be sure I'm focusing on both hand shoot. I just read a ton of articles last week on eye dominance and try to interpret those to make better ambidextrous designs.
Hope I can go forward with this design towards realization.
Bests, Tremo
