I made a FAT treb last year... DYI called me out and said I wouldn't enjoy it... He was right. 100lbs of counterweight later and I finally through a water bottle about 100yds. Granted it probably wasn't tuned perfectly, I had a very nice angle adjustable release pin and everything on it.

98% finished (I did finish it, I just currently have any of those pics)
It was a fun project - but If it doesn't make a lot of noise - I'm suspicious...
