I think we’ve all had that moment sitting in front of a package of Oreos, fighting—or not fighting—the urge to try and get them all in your mouth with all due speed. Slingshot master Joerg Sprave has come up with a patently ridiculous way of upping that speed variable. So much so that you probably wouldn’t want your mouth to be the target. More »
Two summers ago, a giant slingshot anchored to a truck and drawn by an off-road vehicle that hurled people down a humongous slip and slide, careening them wildly into a lake. So, hey, why not make another one and launch two people at once? More »
We’ve all done our fair share of chucking paper airplanes at friends. And maybe, if you’re a real engineer, you’ve made some clever, paper-folding modifications that let your plane do a loop—or better yet actually land on target. Joerg Sparve has turned his eye towards those paper aircraft, and needless to say, the outcome can do damage. More »
Slingshot lover and—let’s face it—borderline maniac (in the best way) Joerg Sprave definitely took things to one extreme when he created an enormous slingshot cannon that fired ridiculous chainsaw halberds.

It’s hard to imagine what kind of fairy tales a young German boy has to grow up with to inspire a life spent crafting a ridiculous slingshot-based arsenal, but Joerg Sprave seems particularly endeared to Hansel & Gretel.

Taking a small break from expanding his insane rubber band-based arsenal, slingshot master Joerg Sprave turns his attention to re-engineering duct tape, and other random accessories, into a trio of improvised weapons. More »
For serious construction projects a nailgun connected to a compressor is a vastly superior alternative to a hammer and nails. They’re unfortunately a little expensive for home carpentry projects, but once again we can look to slingshot master Joerg Sprave for a solution to another of life’s little problems. This time around he’s created a pistol version of his nine-inch nail firing pump shotgun that can handle tamer three-inch carpentry nails. More »
Most New Year’s revellers are happy to celebrate the occasion by watching the ball drop in Times Square—or just getting completely blotto. But as we’ve discovered time and time again, Joerg Sprave isn’t your average Joe.
