A tree was the first supply to the Medieval times people. They carved the wood to establish the peices of how they wanted. Then when all the peices were finished they would get a rope and twist it up to make the throwing effect of the catapult. The finished product would look something like this...
The average medielval catapult was manned by four men, two to wind the rope taught, one for range finding and aiming, and the last man for loading and firing.
I think what you are asking about was the trebuchet, which was much more like a sling than like a slingshot. There was a type of catapult called a ballista, which was like a large crossbow, and it is possibly a similarity to this type of weapon that is the reason people in England and many other places call a slingshot a catapult.
