How did they make a catapult back in medieval times and were did they get the wood and stuff to make it from?
The wood came from trees, which generally came from forests. Rope was often made of hemp or horse hair. The catapults were too large, slow and unwieldy to be carted from place to place, so they were made on the spot by soldiers, under the direction of skilled engineers. Some of the parts were carted around in wagons, particularly those that require specialised tools or considerable time to make, and others were made at the spot. The commanders would usually make an assessment of the battle or siege and the catapults and other siege weapons would be made to fit the scenario.
