I love this comment. I had to buy my rubber bands at a craft store, but if my work had them I would totally have raided the supply closet :)

The video starts out with my son shooting the final gun. I might make a separate video for the loading instructions if enough people complain, but I was hoping it was clear enough from that snippet at the end. You can crank the wheel as fast or slow as you want for your rate of shooting speed. With this type of gun it's 15 minutes of loading for 15 seconds of shooting basically :) But it's a glorious 15 seconds, so it's worth it.

melarky writes: This is a fun weekend project that most nerds will appreciate. Step by step instructions and also a handy video will make the construction of this project fast and easy. I have seen lots of plans for sale (or actual guns/kits for sale), but couldn't seem to find any plans for free. I played around with a few different designs (even cut my first few on a homemade CNC machine) and finally landed on this design. I made the guide more accessible to the general public (no need for a CNC machine here), so if you've ever dreamed of ending friendships because of hundreds of rubber band welts, nows your chance!
