Experience Building the RotaryMek-10X Rubber Band Machine Gun Paperback – August 31, 2012

As promised by the author, this book will make anyone (with basic skills, common sense and a drill press) build that marvelous rubber band gun. The book is carefully and thoughtfully constructed, explanations are extremely detailed, several large, good quality pictures are included. The technical information is communicated via text, pictures and templates. That method is good for the novice, but requires more patience from the pros, who possibly could make a better use of a traditional technical drawing (plan).Some notes: People outside the US (even some people in the US) must be prepared to use their creativity, since the project requires some hard to find parts, especially two short pieces of plastic pipes of different diameters. I substituted these with rolled up paper, but could have fabricated of wood also. (I live in Europe.) Measurement units, tool sizes, raw material and screw sizes, as expected, are given in the imperial system. Finding the closest metric mate shouldn't be a problem, but you won't be able to go straightforward, like in case of assembling LEGO - Wikipedia is your friend! Obviously, you won't find exactly the same size of nothing mentioned in the book, so the templates will require little adjustments. I didn't find that difficult after understanding the function of the parts, in what the book is really a big help.My gun works like the very impressive one on Youtube. I am happy with my purchase.

Found this book when looking at videos on youtube and decided that I would make two of them for my kids as Christmas gifts. Julian was extremely detailed about every part of this gun and the CAD drawing templates make achieving the level of required precision possible. My kids loved the guns and it was a blast making these projects. If you are looking for a fun project, I would absolutely recommend this book.

Not for the beginning wood worker. I doubt I'll build one.

It was fun to build, I sometime though the book was a bit wordie, and confusing, I had to re read the same passage a few times to understand what he wanted. Take your time and you'll be happy with the results. P.s. look at a irrigation supply for the 2.5" pvc pipe.

I plan to make this over the winter. As the author recommends, Go to a plumbers shop for parts, 1 step a week when you get the time, It will work But you have to make it first.

great directions, pictures not to mention the gun is awesome! My son (15) is making this 100% on his own with this book. He asked for this for his birthday and was ecstatic when he got it! He can't wait to finish and show off to his friends.

I'm an amateur woodworker. This book meets all expectations. I've read over it several times and I'm ready to start building. This is a great project for and my grandson to work on together.

very good step by step instructions, still going through the process of the build in my spare time, but can't wait to unleash the rubber!
