COGSCouncil of Great Shenanigans

A proclamation of impending mischief

The Council
is assembling.

Gravity has been warned.

A fellowship of friends. One wildly ambitious catapult.
A quest to send something a little further than seems sensible.

Discover the shenanigans

Grand plans. Questionable restraint.

From the Council’s drawing table
A most ambitious catapult An original storybook illustration of a timber catapult on a rocky hill, with forested mountains, a brass sun, and a tiny red pennant. A dotted arc imagines its next launch.
Fig. I A perfectly reasonable use of timber.

The rather grand plan

Some friends build sheds.
We took a different path.

We’re the Council of Great Shenanigans — a group of friends with a soft spot for big ideas and the sort of projects that start with “what if…”

Our first quest: build a catapult and aim for a world record. For now, that’s an aspiration, not an achievement. There’s a good deal of building, testing, and head-scratching ahead.

The full tale is coming soon. Keep a weather eye on the horizon.
