trebuchet.com
They have a forum, they sell kits for seige engines, and they have links to pages of people who have built other seigen engines.

There was also an episode of Mail Call where the admin. from trebuchet.com had one for Ermmy. Had an 800 lb. conter-weight and floung watermelons a good 100 yards or more.

I've built a few trebuchets at summer camp before, out of telephone pole sized logs

I'll tell you that if you want a good cheap type of rope for the engine of a seige, try parasute cord, I built one using that stuff and well lest just say the fram was more likely to brake before the cord was.

I've built more than you can shake a stick at (about 7) so if you need help ask me. Oh and stay away rom the anarcists cookbook halpf the formulas will blow up when mixed. It was written by the cia to blow up radicals before they blow up other people

Odd I though it was writen by a guy in the 70s that just wanted to vent is hateried of the gov. and even he said they're crap.

Also I just remembered another site, siege-engine.com they have Billistas, Onager and a veriaty of sized trebs.

its not all crud in the anarchist cookbook cuz i have made the smoke bomb out of saltpeter and granulated sugar and it works

Well you get a lot of smoke out of just cooking sugar, so the saltpeter is likely just an ingniter.
