Just take a Y shaped stick and tie on the ruber band and get a piece of leather from your pants, n boom. It would shoot rocks soo far. You can even swing your arm with it and it'll fling your projectile even further.. I used to just fire it in the neighborhood, still dont know where those rocks went!

    Joerg, I would recommend getting yourself a 3d printer, even if you don't know how to build 3d models for it yourself. For one, they are TONS of fun! But more seriously, even if you can't make your own models, there are tons of freely available models for printing out there, some of which you might find useful for your builds. And modern commercially available printers are not only a lot cheaper than before, but also a lot more precise. You can get a very good 3d printer for under $300 US, and spools of filament or bottles of resin generally run you around $45 US, and one spool or bottle will last you quite a while. A bit of advice from someone who's used both type of printers, you'll probably find more use out of a FMD type printer (the kind that take the spools of filament) considering what you're likely to use them for. The PLA or ABS plastic they use has more strength than most resins, and they tend to have a larger build plate, meaning you'd be able to print out larger parts. PLA and ABS also takes to sanding pretty wall, and ABS can be smoothed and polished using acetone quite easily. A SLA (resin) printer though is much better at getting very fine details, and the prints they produce are usually much more exact than those produced by FMD printers, however the cured resin can be quite a bit more brittle than PLA or ABS, though it's possible to get some types of flexible resin to produce things like washers or gaskets.
    As for the software they need, if you're getting your files online to print out, you really only need to worry about the slicing program. This is the software that takes the model and converts it to code the printer can read to know how to go about printing the model. It also places supports in areas where the model will need to be held up during printing. With FMD printers in particular, all you really have to do is position your model in the build area displayed in your slicer program, and maybe adjust a few settings for layer height, infill, or support generation. The biggest concern is orientating the model for the best print, and making sure it's well supported so you don't have any unsupported areas (else you end up with what I like to call a 'spaghetti failure').
    It's honestly well worth getting into, especially in your line of work. Infact, I've already seen a few people who have been making printable versions of your designs.

    Joerg Your workmanship is awesome, I love the shape & finish of that little pistol crossbow in fact it's curves and shape could almost be described as attractive , just like almost all the other crossbows You have produced it is the work of a dedicated amateur artisan which would make many trained artisans jealous . Thank You for showing us this wooden work of art . Shoot Straight Stay Safe & Stay Well .

  • @rubastic
    @rubastic Před 3 lety +5

    Joerg, have you thought about making these with reverse draw limbs?
    I imagine you could make it almost as compact as this one with actual limbs, and as the heaviest, sturdiest part is attached to the handle, you might even be able to make the lever and magazine assembly lighter. With the double-string assembly, you might even be able to make some kind of a reload assist using the same limbs.

    Tod of Tod's workshop also shows that steel bows have a speed limit. Even a 1000lb+ bow doesn't move a projectile faster than an 800lb bow, it is just able to move a heavier projectile. Steel isn't an ideal bow material.

    • @ARandomTroll

    • @Qrt45
      @Qrt45 Před 3 lety

      I think with the correct steel like tempered spring steel, you can get good performance. Sacrificing a little speed for power can be worth it, and you can definitely make something formidable without needing such large draw weights.
      You want to use steel that wouldn’t have been available during medieval times, then again nobody had fiberglass back then either.
