This guy: Best homemade crossbow you will ever see
Joerg Sprave: *Laughs in divinity*
Joerg wouldn't laugh at someone's personal invention.
@@onthefasttracktoheaven its a joke, and i think he would laugh if that person claimed it as "best you will ever see" lol
@@smilloww2095 you know that this video is older than his right so at that time it probably was
@@irnehredna7110 higy doubt it, its not a very amazing crossbow even for 7 years ago.. also joerg has been around makigng videos for longer than 7 years
@@smilloww2095 I'd disagree he would laugh but not at them
I love this guy so much. He truly has zero fucks to give. Sometimes he is shirtless. His painting station is on two rubbish bins. Most authentic builder ever.
The couch arrived in two boxes four days early, which was great because we'd just moved into a new house and needed places to sit. My son and I put it together pretty quickly czcams.com/users/postUgkxitRzxya-XugamYgLwa_2G1gxPg4MCJHa . Another reviewer suggested inserting the seat into the side and I'm glad they did as the instructions weren't clear on that matter. It's incredibly light and slides easily across the wood floor, making it easy to move. It's firm, but comfortable. It will even be great to nap on. I got the gray, which definitely has strong blue undertones, but I'm okay with that.
man this brings back old youtube memories
Greetings from a Syrian gunsmith ...thank you so much bro !
A very cool crossbow..i suggest to attach some fletching (wings for the arrow or bolt)
It will make your bolt fly much straight and more stability.For the arrowhead..try attaching a dart head.Hope this helps.
Change out the PVC pipe bow for one leaf spring from a small car ( tried a leaf from a truck --way too stiff ) use 1/8 inch guy wire and 1/4 - 5/16 inch steel round stock for arrows. they will go through a stop sign from 50 feet away.
***** I used some fiberglass fencing tension bars from home depot to make a 30 inch laminate prod for mine. 120 pounds at a 9 inch stroke. $10 for the two bars I used, and I like how its light compare to a steel spring or pvc pipe, plus I can add poundage by adding more bars (kept it at 120 pounds on account of a weak nut). Cut with hacksaw, wear gloves if you don't want glass splinters in your skin.
***** You sure? The tension bars are for those common hex-wire fences they use on baseball diamonds and yard fences. Check the fencing aisle at the hardware store, I didn't know they had that stuff until someone show it being used on the Arbalist forum.
***** No hardware stores? You sound like you live pretty far out in the boonies :o .
Bulsh1tMan lol in norway we are enviermental freindly we dont have wall mart
the gopro viking Well Walmart isn't exactly a hardware store these days, but okay XD . So where do you guys go if you want to do some home renovations? Or are hardware stores a completely American concept, since our new homes are built so crap and ugly?
Very simple release mechanism. The advantage to simple mechanisms is there is less to go wrong, and it's generally easier to fix if it does. Nice build. Good vid.
I love the mechanism, reminds me of a Montagnard crossbow from the Vietnam war era or a Congolese one. However a clothes pin would have been equally effective with the bottom part taped or glued down. In the countries I mentioned, they simply cut the groove bigger and tie a loop of string around the lever while pivoting on the side of the dominant hand.
Your comment invokes some interesting notions, but I can't quite picture how to use a clothespin, nor to what end -- for the trigger? I had no idea that Montagnards used crossbows, not persons in the Congo. The field of interest expands. As a first ever look at the topic, maybe not so informative! Good for a basement project....
@@TSPhotoAtlanta You recess a cut section into the back of the groove so that the clothespin's top part pushes the string up, all while the bottom half is mounted down. The Montagnards learned about crossbows from the Chinese in ancient times, in the 300s B.C. Meanwhile, the Congolese learned about them from the Portuguese in the late 1400s and early 1500s.
Why is it that most people that commented have to make negative statements! Give the guy a thumbs up just for making something on his own. Just because he didn't have a true longbow doesn't matter. I love archery and I say that he did a good job on making a crossbow. As long as he is proud of it , that is all that truly matters. Nice Scott!!
Thanks for making this I've been trying to look for a trigger that would suit my needs and this one is perfect
Thank you for making this video! I needed to draw a simple crossbow and needed to understand how it's built first, so this was really useful. Video editing is superb too, you cut at the right places. And the machines at work, ohh so satisfying. Ignore haters. You did well!
That's the best crossbow I seen on youtube
Thanks
The one by the backyardbowyer is better. 100 pounds.
Best and simplest trigger mechanism I have ever seen. Does not try to duplicate a firearm trigger mechanism which is very complicated. I might try this with about a hundred pound bow. After that draw weight you'd have to make a cocking lever.
A 60 lb pull is a decent weight for a light duty bow/ crossbow.
The 'arrow' used in a crossbow is normally called a bolt, btw.
This is a nice simple project, and saves having to do a bunch of unnecessary metalworking. :-)
Can he really get 60 lbs out of a hollow pvc pipe?
@@janviljoen7001 I skipped through the video so I may be wrong, but typically PVC crossbows have fiberglass rods or driveway markers inserted into the PVC for extra power.
I couldn't believe how much easy was to create a crossbow with this method
You have that I dont give a fuck attitude and i love that lol
So much hate in the comments. Good vid. I appreciate the time u took. Thank u.
its a cool little crossbow for a simple project but I would avoid claiming it to be the best because when you claim it to be the best then you leave a ton of room open for criticism. btw crossbows dont shoot arrows they shoot bolts. keep up with the cool DIY projects tho its always a fun hobby
😁😁😁😁
Crossbows also shoot arrows jerk
Modern cronies actually usually shoot arrpws
It's criminal how easy this looks.
“Went online and found pictures of a butt.”
Just to clarify “you know the butt of a gun” haha. Great video. Never know when the wife is going through history.
Activate big brain and search without acc lol
Scott, I like your videos. The bushcraft knife you made was awesome and the crossbow was even better. I'm going to try this summer and make a copy of your crossbow. Thanks for all the info.
Robbers are the best way to proof your aim
Well done, Scott !! FYI clear coat usually adheres better if it's applied BEFORE the final color coat dries (especially if you're using automotive type paints). Thanks again for your time and straightforward approach!!
"cut this slot to accommodate my...but. actually feels quite nice. XD"
and the line of great scotts continues
You need correct to name it: MY best homemade crossbow.
haha exactly :D
Yeah that's right we can't make this at our home😖
There may have been some home grown substance consumed before the naming of this video?
ARIFIN Sure you can, a fugursaw or how you call it and stuff that is not an machine
Can we see your homemade crossbow please?
I don't know about, this, being "the best home made", but - certainly is a GREAT JOB. thumbs up.
Great video, Scott. I have long thought about doing something like this too. I especially like the way you constructed your trigger. Simple but it worked so well! Do you have a video how you made your initial longbow?
I fuckin love this guy. He's doing this stuff because he enjoys it, and that's clear to see in this video. Keep up the great work, man!
thats not a longbow ffs! its a very average size shortbow. longbows are around 71" inches!
nice project never the less!
MrPanos2000 it is a crossbow
There as tall as the archer
great father and son project
When they put best or super powerful as prefix, the content are usually the opposite and they get lots of views...
One of the best crosbow that I want learn how to make it soon👍.
I make crossbows using a 2x4 and conform it like you would a rifle stock blank. Take a car leaf spring and cut it for the bow. I use actual triggers from a rifle and the bow string catches on the upper portion so when you pull the trigger rearward the upper part tilts forward just like in the rifle and the string is released. With a wing not the bow can be quickly removed for storage or transport.
MrAzrancher Nice.
+MrAzrancher What kind of car did you use for the leaf spring?
Gentlemens Edge Sir I don't know what car they came off of, the junk yard I pick them up from has them pulled out and in a pile. What I look for is one around 2 inched wide max and I cut it to length. I make the length of the bow the same as the length of the stock. I have seen bows with shorter and longer but this calculation has worked well for me so far.
MrAzrancher Very interesting. I'm going to have to try that. I go to the junk yard a few time a month, I'll see if I can scare up a 2 incher.
Thanks for responding!
Gentlemens Edge In case it helps dept.: When I cut the bow to size I rounded them, then cut the notches for the bow string, smoothed them with a file and then used wet leather strips to cover the ends about 2 inches inward. The leather dries hard and protects the bow string from damage rubbing against the bare metal. Some trial and error results. Good Luck Sir...!
I have been a fan for a while .
Still a fan? can you still blow air after 7 years
Hello Scott
A very excellent work! My congratulations! A few moments ago I sent to you a msg for your page in FaceBook.
Best Regards
Octávio Oliveira
Thank you sir
You won internet with this comment :)
Ight no need to be so angry, it was a sweet build, I know some people have other ways of doing things, but no need to go over the top with all this hate, yes its not a long bow, but there is No need to criticize him about it, just chiiiillllll out
watch his lips when he's at the band saw lmao 1:40
Gurning
you left all the video and focused on this lmao
@@B02239 dawg that was 4 years ago

now its 11 years ago@@daltonrawls4044
Wow! Perfect and simple to construct. Thanks for the good, instructive video!
What's the poundage? And any tips on a mechanical safety to make it legal to hunt?
KKKn50cal Well dang. In Arkansas, crossbows have to have at least 125 lb draw weight and a mechanical safety.
@@JustinWalker951 you can make one that would be legal you'll just have to buy the bow online because you don't want to fuck around with that much draw weight on something homemade then take a large solid board and route a rail for your bolts, look up roller nut trigger crossbow, use the roller nut design and for your safety mechanism have a hole drilled underneath the trigger part not the nut part, have a solid metal pin go into the hole that you drilled making it impossible to fire unless you remove the pin and pull the trigger I've actually done this before and it works really well and is super simple to make
Bustin Justin maybe more like 150 lbs
@@williamspetter2823 I think having a safety that goes above the string also would be a good idea, so it doesn't some how get bumped and slip off
Using this in my history project
"Dis is my cruzboh, see"
that trigger system is simply great
Nice
What the actual duck do you even know what you just said?
no it isn't, it pulls up the back of the arrow, look at it when stick to the tagret, do you see that angle? The rest of the project is cool
You have the skills!
Did anyone else think how he looks kind of like Billy Bob Thorten?
Just a random thought I had.
Also: This is awesome I am going to try and do it this weekend.
thanks for posting it.
have u wver seen walter white make a crossbow instead of meth
Gameplay Hero Guide YES I'M SO GLAD SOMEONE SAID THIS
6:07 He even has the respirator and everything XD
Your a clown i swear😂 and its weird cuz of course i just started watching breaking bad again
When you makes a crossbow I guess he really is the danger
I like your video. It is cool and very simple.

Scott's Place
go to backyard bowyer.. he's the best
which type of thread you have used please reply
Simple but effective. Good video. Thanks for posting.
the fletching takes a beating.
Kirk McLoren fletching on the arrows is important
+Kirk McLoren Not on crossbow bolts. Back in the middle ages, crossbows used front-heavy metal bolts. The front-heaviness stabilized them enough to be accurate to 200m.
***** How so? A counter-argument should have some proof.
+Wynrotar wow you are fucking inbred,.. certain Bolts don't need fletching,.. and his range isn't off by much at all,... your trolling skill level = billygoat
+Kirk McLoren not on cross bow BOLTS
But for some who doesn't usually make weapons like I do you did a very good job!
Why did he decide to take off his shirt in the middle of the video, only to put it back on 6 seconds later
shit editing
good build bud ! out come very clean . double pvc tube with small tube inside , add fletching to arrows ull c big power draw and accraucy
That is a great looking crossbow Scott.
Were you using fiberglass driveway marker rod as an arrow?
I have a 40lb PVC bow I made from backyardbowyer I think I will now convert to a crossbow.
Thanks
Looked pretty powerful ,well done.
He looks like trevor philips from GTA V
+Teh_HuntDeZ LOL and he even sounds like a Canadian too!
Nice crossbow. Advice to add though: if you make a string out of archery (dacron) string using a archery string making jig, used to make your string the appropriate length to fit your bows limbs, you can massively improve that crossbows fps (Feet Per Second) Speeds. Archery strings are as important to the bow as any other part of the bow. A well made string yields a LONGER life span of your bows limbs. Dacron archery strings have immense tensile strength with minimal stretching over a long period of time. Best archery string Period.
Scott, why does your shirt always go missing?
Real men doesn't need clothes XD
because feels good making crossbows half naked or complete naked!!
Good job . I realized we have the same problem..... no workspace on our workbenches !!! I also had to use the floor on several occasions . Us geniuses always have 6 projects going on at the same time(s) . LOL
1:16 haha he said butt

Thanks for your time and sharing.
good... but, not the best.
lukaron kelter It could kill a peasant!
Iam from Colombia want tell you are amazing is guaoo not words for this
that is not a longbow, not even close
+worlds worst gamer 17 IKR!!! Longbows are 6 feet tall, that thing was like 3-4 feet tall!
Nick Reulbach it was cool, but not even close
true
English longbow was best for its time and that was fucking giant. There is still a medieval law that sates every young boy has to practice archery but no one does.
***** Best archers in any army ever if you asked me.
It looks very good,
But you should try making one out of a car leaf spring as I did many years back at age about 15, Pull was possibly over 200 lbs, It would sink a 6 inch bold at 50 feet completely into any stump
Strings lasted about 6 shots if I recall,
I never did try range, But definitely it put the bolt out f sight and we never did hear anything come down,
It is a good guess it could shoot over 1/2 mile easily.
He touched the butt😳🐠🐙🐟
Lol
Good one. Though not very safe but anyone can try and make this simple yet effective
That's not a longbow buddy
Sebastian Mucci it is a crossbow
i pretty much used this same design but with a bunch of tied together sticks. my trigger mechanism was just me pushing the string up manually.
That's not a long bow...
nice crossbow man nice work thanks

ياسر الجبوري wot?
wow cool simple mechanizm AWESOME 10 thumbs up
that is not a longbow by any definition. it is neither: very long from nock to nock, able to draw to a rear of check/ear lobe anchored draw, nor capable of firing at a long range. any or all of these (most typically the range) are how a LONG bow are defined.
+Edward Teach He most likely meant a self bow.
Great video sir..you trigger ive not seen before and its great the glued on top channel is cool too. no more trying to cut a long deep straight channel..very good..thks
"Longbow"? Do you even know what a longbow is? :P
Great crossbow man
that is not a fucking LONGbow. LOL
Michal Gaik it is a cross bow
AWESOME , when i was about 15 years old anyone could walk into a sports shop and buy a cross bow,, now days with new laws you can't get anything even airguns over 300 fps isn't aloud ,, I'm thinking about making something like this here or maybe an air gun .
This is by far not the best homemade crossbow and yea my fist can go trough 1mm of plywood i could trow a pencil trough that plywood if you want to see a real homemade crossbow look at Ali J reversed crossbow
+John Vlijm You mean Eli from ZNA Productions?
andone01red no eli is really good but his crossbow isnt ali J made an scorpyd reverse crossbo
John Vlijm Yeah I didn't realize that Ali j was a thing until after a couple minutes from posting this comment I saw one of his videos, the end product is better, but Eli's videos are better
