Rob's World!
Hey what's up guys and welcome to my tutorial for the easy stick boomerangs!
In the last video, I got a lot of requests and comments and over a
thousand people voted on the poll that I had in my video. I'm going to show you
how to make two really easy stick boomerangs that fly great and you'll see
that in a second. To make both you'll need six craft sticks that you can get
at a local craft store and these cost about six cents each I think you can get
sixty for four dollars. You're also gonna need some tape, a ruler, a rubber band, a
pencil. You'll also need some sharp scissors just like these. We might also
use some sandpaper or a nail file whichever one you guys have is fine
but it's not necessary. Now they're really super easy to make but it's gonna
take some practice to get them to fly. Once you see how much fun I had with them and
how they fly, I think you guys are gonna have a lot of fun and you're gonna love
them just like I did! So before we start let's check out some
clips of me throwing them!

The first thing we're going to do with the sticks is create what's called an
airfoil and this allows the stick to get a lift because the air is flying faster
on top and lower on bottom not going to go into too much detail but that's
basically what it's going to do. Now this is a side view of the stick. To do this
we're basically going to make a line on the stick vertically two to three
millimeters from the edge--from here in. So let's go ahead and do that as you'll
see each of these individual marks right here are one millimeter so it's a very
small increment so we're gonna go up to the third one right here on each of the
sticks and we're going to make three marks just like this: There's one mark
Two marks... and Three marks. Once we have the three marks then we could take the
ruler and place it directly next to the marks not on top of it because you need
room for the pencil. Hold it steady and then draw a line going all the way
down through those three marks now you'll have something that looks like
this and you're ready to take off the excess wood. Now we're going to remove
the excess wood along that line that we took on this edge so that it looks
something like this. It's easier I believe if you take the stick in your
left hand, take the scissors in your right hand now
you're mostly going to be using this back top edge here this is a little bit
longer a little bit sharper than the other edge here so you're going to hold
it like this move the stick away from you and towards you back and forth like
this okay as you do this you'll notice the wood will shave off as you can see
here keep doing this until you get close to the line you aren't trying to chop or
cut the wood at the intersection of the blades. Work your way back and forth up
and down the stick and we're almost done at this point. Leave your thumb here at
the base because this part doesn't need to get shaved because that's where the
sticks are going to join. You don't need to go all the way down to the end but
you can hold the scissors vertically and that'll smooth things out. As you can see
by that shadow right there we've removed the excess wood along here at an angle
all the way up to about right here, okay? Now, I'm just going to take the nail
filer and I'm just going to go over and smooth things out and kind of round
okay a little bit. Take the nail file and move it up and down along the stick move
the stick down and then keep on doing the same thing with the nail file
relatively at a low angle. Be careful not to poke yourself, and this will give the
stick a nice smooth feel. And there you go! We have completed one of the air
foils. Now you need to do this with the remaining five sticks if you do want to
make both boomerangs. Now that we have air foils for all six sticks, which I
showed you should look something like this, you should see a nice shadow when
you hold it up to the light sort of like that we're going to just take two of
them to create the by blade or the two bladed boomerang so just take two and
you could set the rest aside now we're going to take the stick on the left hold
the one on the right completely vertical up and down and you're going to take the
one on the left and you're going to twist it clockwise so that the air foil
is now on top and then we're going to take the end join it up to the other end
and leave about a half of an inch to maybe 3/4 of an inch of overlap for both
ends of the stick just like this. I'm going to take a little bit of tape about
a half of an inch in width and I'm going to cut it off you can also use scotch
tape if you want but I find it's not as strong. Now that we have a piece of tape
that's about 1/2 to 3/4 inches in width we're going to take the two sticks hold
them steady like this and we're going to start like this take the tape and
starting about a half inch below the bottom of the top stick place it down
being sure to crease in the edges and flip the tape to the other side then we
can flip it over and do the same thing place the tape around 1/2 inch above the
top stick crease into the grooves and flip the tape over to the other side
Now, we just need to cut off the excess edges just like this
And there you go that's how to make the buy blade boomerang. Now, if you find that
it comes apart with just tape you can also take a rubber band and wrap it
around I'll show you how to do that with the one with four blades but you can get
away with it with just tape for the debye blade to make the quad blade or
super stick boomerang we're going to need to do the same thing except with
four of them so on each of them just hold that airfoil on the left side like
this and we're going to start out with the two sticks here it doesn't matter
which two. We're going to hold one like this vertically so that the airfoil is
on the left now take the next one and turn it 90 degrees clockwise so it's
airfoil is on top and place it directly on top of the first stick. Take the next
stick turn it 180 degrees so the airfoil is on your right and place it directly
on top of the second stick. Take the last one and turn it 90 degrees
counterclockwise so the airfoil is on the bottom. So if you look closely it
should look something like this in the middle. Now I'm going to do the same
thing with the tape I'm going to take about a half of an inch of tape and
starting out I'm going to take this one too this one like this apply the tape
directly across the horizontal blades first creasing in any grooves then you
could take a second piece and place it vertically along the vertical blades
again creasing the tape in any grooves just like this now that we have them
taped on top we're just going to gently flip it over like this try to hold it in
the middle and flip it over make sure that all the sticks are 90 degrees from
the adjacent stick for this side you could place a piece of tape vertically
from top to bottom then you could take a second piece and just like before tape
it across horizontal blades increasing in the grooves so it should look
something like this now we're going to take the rubber band because this one
will come apart if you throw it and it hits something because you need a little
bit extra than tape so just pick it up hold it nice and firm in the middle here
like this and we're going to first put it around one of them hold the rubber
band in the middle and then wrap it around the top one. Then we're going to
twist it on the bottom like this hold it and then we're going to go around this
next one and this next one try to make sure that the overall X is
in the middle here and not pulling on these blades so now we have that now
we're going to turn it again and we're going to go between these two so you're
just going to go between these two then these two then these two and then just
keep on rotating until the rubber band becomes too tight. So just like I showed
twist it around the two adjacent ones, underneath twist it, and then bring it
around the top two, twist it bring it around the top next two. It's starting to get a
little bit tight here so I might be able to do one more I might not looks like I
could so I keep going around these two and then twist it and then go around the
next one and I'm done and there you go just make sure all of these are 90
degrees you can kind of move them around at this point now just make sure looking
at it that when you're holding the bottom stick towards you on the bottom
the airfoil is on the left same thing when you rotate it the bottom stick
airfoil is on the left bottom stick airfoil is on the left
same thing with this one and there you go you have created two really easy
stick boomerangs now here's how to throw them. To throw the Bi-Blade boomerang,
what we're going to do is to make sure that the air foils are on top of the
stick so the airfoil here when I'm holding it like this is on this side and
this side you can see it right there and right here then you can kind of just
hold it like this put your pointer finger right here on top, your thumb like
that and hold it between your three fingers and you're going to basically
give it a nice spin. It's all about getting the spin with the boomerang! So
you're gonna kind of flick your wrist and throw it like that. Also, instead of
throwing it perfectly horizontal you're going to want to give it a little bit of
a lift maybe at like a thirty or forty degree angle like that so I'm gonna kind
of aim up like this while giving it a nice spin with my wrist like you would
throw a frisbee
Oh! Just like that...
to throw it overhand like this it doesn't fly as well but the same thing
you're going to make sure that the airfoils are on top here and on top here
then you're going to grip it kind of like this with two fingers and your
thumb here and it's all about really giving it a nice spin by letting it roll
off the tip of your two fingers so you want to get a nice spin you could also
hold it like this if you want almost like a pen and you want to throw it like
this maybe like a 70 degree angle and up a little at like a thirty degree angle just like that
I ran out of daylight, but I'm gonna show you how to throw it to yourself basically to
make it flip and hover it's gonna go like this and then I'm gonna flip and
then it's gonna hover and you do that by taking it just like this with the
airfoils on top and just holding it like this with your finger on the edge and
your thumb and middle finger like this and you basically just flick it out a
little bit angled up like a frisbee and you just flick it like that
To throw the quad-blade boomerang with your right hand make sure all these air
foils are facing to the left when you throw as you see them here on top then
grip it between your two fingers and thumb like this almost like a pen and
throw it hard at a 70 or 80 degree angle trying to get the most spin you can
there you go super easy stick boomerang! Hope you guys enjoyed it. Thank you guys

below let me know what you guys want to see next do you want to see a really
easy ninja star spinner or maybe how to juggle or maybe some kirigami perhaps
the kirigami spider web and the spider for Halloween I think that'll be pretty
cool I can try to get it out by then also if you want you can try to make the
try blade boomerang. I'll put a poll up in one of these corners here so be sure
