Best Answer

In its barest form, a trebuchet is a simple Type 1 Lever - a long pole with a weight at one end, and a pivot in the middle.

They are relatively simple to make - all that is needed is wood and iron. A long, straight beam of wood (or several such beams) are required for the throwing arm, with thick wood beams being used to create dual "A-frame" structures as the supports. An iron rod is typically used for the pivot, and stones or iron scraps are typically what fills the counterweight bucket.
