actually take it out and use it and

actually take it out and use it and while that’s curing we’re gonna take

while that’s curing we’re gonna take

while that’s curing we’re gonna take some of this rope and build the internal

some of this rope and build the internal

some of this rope and build the internal mechanisms for our banana launcher we

mechanisms for our banana launcher we picked this rope up from the hardware

picked this rope up from the hardware

picked this rope up from the hardware store and we got the thick stuff because

okay so now this is going to go through

okay so now this is going to go through the inside its parts tricky there we go

at this point we’ve got pretty much

at this point we’ve got pretty much everything ready to go so let’s clean up
