How to make a boomerang?

Tired of the toys around you and want to play with something different and more interesting? Then try to build your own Boomerang. Use the hints and tips in this article in order to craft a boomerang that actually will come back to you after throwing.

Techniques used for Boomerang building

Everybody is fascinated with knowing how the boomerang of Mowgli returned to him in the story of Jungle Book. These Boomerangs are not only a part of stories like this, but in reality you can make a boomerang that actually returns to the thrower. The airfoil shape of the Boomerang allows it to spin. These airfoils face each other in opposite directions, and its correct edge leads during a throw, giving it a lift. These airfoils provide it a gyroscopic effect that enables it to rotate and return to the original position in a circular flow.

How to make a boomerang

So you are thinking: How to make a boomerang which will return to you. Firstly, you need to craft an airfoil shape in the correct manner. These steps below will help you to build the perfect boomerang: Take a ply that is around ¼ inch thick as well as being light and strong. The lightness adds to the characteristics of a perfect boomerang. Draw the shape of your boomerang onto this ply sheet and cut it along the lines. You can use a saw to cut out the right shape. Now use a sanding block or orbital sander 9and some an elbow grease), provide an airfoil shape upon the sides of the Boomerang. Decide the direction in which the airfoil should face according to the hand you would use to throw it. Blend both the airfoils together in the centre of the Boomerang. Now provide the final touches to the boomerang by applying a grit paper and a coat of spray paint onto its surface to make it look attractive. Now you can try your boomerang by throwing it with the right airfoil facing towards an open space.

Conclusion

The boomerang is a great outdoor toy and will provide your with hours of fun and games. It is particularly fun to play with when it returns to the thrower. So many Australian kids are testament to this! Whilst creating your boomerang, be careful when choosing the boomerang designs, type of ply and airfoil facing, and you will never go wrong.
