[MR] Trebuchet Plans

[Belphoebe]

Allegranza,

Either he wants to build a mangonel or he wants to
build a trebuchet.  Two different animals :-)
(Mangonel is also another name for an onager, a type
of catapult powered by torsion.) 
Here are the plans for a man-powered treb. 
http://siege.atlantia.sca.org/engines/tiny/index.html

According to the new rules, he will need a base.  We
have designed the Atlantian Wheelbarrel of Doom, but
the plans are not in this site.  Those plans are
uploaded to the files section of the Atlantian siege
guild group.  I would recommend that he signs up. 
Here is the link:

Another good link for blueprints of trebouchets is the
webpage of the Grey Company.

Hope this helps.

Cheers,

Belphoebe
Guildmistress

  Heavy Infantry Projectiles
