In term 4, we will be working on producing trebuchet. However, as I am going on exchange, I will be getting a modified assignment for this task. Mr Ward showed us 3 different ways to build the joint.
1. Butt joint: This is the joint that will not modify very well compare to other methods. PDF glue was spread on the sides of the two sticks and nailed from the horizontal line. This method is not recommended as it assures only small amount of modification
2. rebate joint: There is more space that glues together therefore assure more strong joint. It was nailed from the side.
3. reinforced joint: The triangle will be glued and nailed on the side and it will manifest the join very well. This is the recommended method when making trebuchet.
