Come and take a look at the rocks over here. It just pulverized the stone on the inside.

It confirmed what we came here to prove, didn't it? We had a lovely hit smacking in the middle and it smashed it and it's busted it right through to the back. So it's quite obvious if you got one of these trebuchets and you got a castle like this and you've got plenty of time to shoot it, you are going to knock it into a powder. We can reduce this to rubble.

Intoxicated with success, the timber framers bid adieu to the highlands. But the next morning. Renaud is heartened to find that he's not been completely abandoned.

You know if you put your safe chain on, ....

Ed Levin and a handful of the Americans have decided to stay on in Scotland to help finish the job.

...the sling...

I'm sure it's a good miss.

No,it's linked to the second...

Biggest concern is whether the throwing arm has been fatally weakened at the point where the main axle passes through it.

To avoid stressing the arm, Renaud decides to only partially load his counterweight using 4 tons of sand in the 12-ton-capacity box, but there are risks to this approach.

We are all suitably cautious in having the 250-pound sandstone ball end up in the castle wall, rather than in the loch or drop down on the machine or any available places it has historically been known to go.

Come on ,come on, come on...

Nobody knows quite what they are doing, so that's what makes it fun.

A moment of birth.

And terror.

Yeah well birth is usually accompanied by terror.

Now we are ready for shoots. It's getting me nervous.

Three, two, one, fire in the hole!

The heavy ball and relatively light counterweight result in the missile landing dangerously close to the trebuchet.

Well, yeah, I mean we knew that there wasn't enough weight in really, didn't we? We just experiment.

If the counterweight is not so heavy, we must put two bags more.Two tons.

Of sand.

Yes, of sand,yes.

Two more tons of sand are added.

I don't think it's enough weight for it to go really well yet. This machine wants a lot of weight, Ten, twelve tons probably to make it go properly. Renaud thinks if we keep putting a little bits in, he might just get there without busting the axle which is natural, of course, because it's his machine. Fair enough.

We are going to get the good shot.

I'm sure, sure, sure.
