Have a nice time of day, Lord. In ancient times, the boomerang was quite powerful. weapons. With him, ancient people could hunt much more successfully than running after prey with a stone. After all, the boomerang could fly far further and hit harder, and besides, the boomerang can go back if it fails to hit the target. At present, boomerang is mainly used in sports events as a hobby, and it has also become an integral part of the decor. To make it is not so difficult as it seems, because even the natives knew how to make it, without having such tools as now. You just need a desire and a little time.
Test boomerang and its manufacture can be seen in the video:
Necessary materials and tools:
- plywood
- paper
- jigsaw
- electrical tape
- paint
- office supplies
Step 1: We will do a boomerang in the form of a bat, or you can call it a boomerang Batman. Therefore, we draw half of the boomerang on sheet A4, you don’t need to draw the other part, because it can turn out not symmetrical, and why waste too much time. We just “mirror” the second part with the same template. After drawing the pattern, cut it with scissors.
Step 2: Next, transfer the template to plywood. I took plywood 9 mm thick. We take an electric jigsaw and cut out the resulting boomerang.
Step 3: We round off the edges that are not finished with a file. We process the ends of the boomerang a little with sandpaper.
Step 4: Next, make a markup with a pencil as in the photo. Then we grind two opposite sides at an angle, it is easier to understand from the photograph. The remaining corners are slightly rounded. I did not measure the angle of grinding and did it “by eye”. After all, "by eye" always turns out more beautiful and crisper
. On the other hand, you don’t need to grind and round off the boomerang!
Step 5: Getting Started To Paint. The edges that we sharpened at an angle, cover them with electrical tape. Then paint the spray boomerang in 2 layers. It is possible to varnish from the top so that our “bat” does not absorb moisture. After complete drying, remove the tape. With clerical putty we draw eyes.
That's it. Our BAT is ready! It remains only to learn how to throw it at the right angle, and take into account the wind, because this is important when starting a boomerang.
