Tod's Workshop: Is he a happy goblin or what?

He's a hugely entertaining and talented master craftsman who loves researching and recreating medieval weaponry. His latest experiment involves using a trebuchet to fling giant flaming arrows. If he weren't such a happy and good-natured man, you'd think he might have orc blood.

RE: launching a "dart" (2 meters long, not the handheld little things in bars and pubs). Too often videos of this kind have a short-attention span person who tries something, fails, and then declares it historically impossible. This guy was smart enough to ask around on why he failed, and then learned to make it work.
Anyway, I'll go back to watching it now. I love this reenactment stuff. I hope someone gives me my very own backyard trebuchet for Xmas. (plus some glass-reinforced gaffer tape).
