Here we go round the mullberry bush...

Well, I can definitely tell that I am doing better.

One of the YouTube channels I'm subscribed to is Victor Poulin.

He builds boomerangs, shows how to fly them and actually gives a few away every month.

Now, if you're the kid-like person that I am, this has been cool watching the videos, and I hope to win one or two myself.

However, I am more curious than to just own one and throw it.
I want to build one.
So, thankfully Victor posted another video with the basics of how their built using one of his pre-drawn patterns on a piece of wood he sells.  They're basically just ready for the making. (i.e. cut it out and do some shaping)

Well, I happen to have a smallish sort of stash of various woods.  Mostly walnut, as I had most of a walnut tree from a friend in my shop that I slowly turned in various bowls, cups, boxes, flutes, etc.

Now, I did use Google and found various patterns online that I will use as my general guideline for making my own boomerang out of my scraps.

I'll try to get pictures and perhaps I may even do a video of it being thrown.  (I don't know about a video right now... but if it was taken at a distance, it might be OK...(See my first post about my picture being used online))
