​@@StarshipTrooper2050🔴 What Is Islam? 🔴 Islam is not just another religion. 🔵 It is the same message preached by Moses, Jesus and Abraham. 🔴 Islam literally means ‘submission to God’ and it teaches us to have a direct relationship with God. 🔵 It reminds us that since God created us, no one should be worshipped except God alone. 🔴 It also teaches that God is nothing like a human being or like anything that we can imagine. 🌍 The concept of God is summarized in the Quran as: 📖 { “Say, He is God, the One. God, the Absolute. He does not give birth, nor was He born, and there is nothing like Him.”} (Quran 112:1-4) 📚 🔴 Becoming a Muslim is not turning your back to Jesus. 🔵 Rather it’s going back to the original teachings of Jesus and obeying him.

I'm speculating that only a handful of people have the historical knowledge and craftsman like skill to build such a crossbow. You sir are an artist, and it was a pleasure watching you construct this.

So much work. This is why every blacksmith in every movie is always working in every scene of every film.

[@ThubanDraconis]

You are right but it applied to everything. People don't realize just how hard it was to produce anything back before the industrial revolution. Just imagine the work that went into making a simple shirt. Raise the sheep, shear the sheep, clean the wool. Spin the wool into thread. Maybe dye the wool, after making the dye. Weave the thread into cloth. Then make the shirt with hand stitching. It was that way for everything. Even a minimum wage employee today can afford far more material wealth than relatively well off people in the middle ages.

When I was younger I used to shoot a recurve bow. After carrying out the fine tuning needed to shoot your arrow's accurately the bow became a beautiful balanced thing to use. Seeing you weighing out the strands of gut to equalize the power of both arms of the crossbow reminded me just how important the knowledge of the Bow maker is. Thank you again Sir.

[@musamor75]

This is really very impressive, not only technically, but also historically. A lot of research has gone into this project. However, the sheer speed of the arrow is terrifying, and its penetration of different materials makes one understand how it was such a feared weapon. Full marks on this one Sir. 💯🙏

[@MakerBoyOldBoy]

Terrific to see modern tech unite with ancient tech to fashion modern versions of an ancient weapon. A possible suggestion is the addition of a liquid fabric softener to the steam bending water which relaxes the wood fibers more to ensure a safer bend of no fiber breaking. This has been a common practice for many decades. This suggestion is only for viewers who currently try steam bending. I was surprised to learn from an earlier video that mass production was invented 2000 years ago when the Chinese invented interchangeable bronze crossbow triggers.

[@tyrionas]

@@SagittarA I mean come on, I am talking about material and assembly techniques there. he did use glue that was used back in the days he didn't use any modern glue so not sure where you get that one from. Concerning the tools, modern tools help make it faster for sure but all of those task could have been done the same way with middle age equivalents. that's what I am saying, some people when making "reproductions" use assembly techniques et processes that were truly unknown or unavailable to the people of the middle ages, he didn't. All the process of building that crossbow could have been done with the tools and techniques that were available at the time.

[@Kurtdog63]

Great video! So much work and craftsmanship. That light of a crossbow arrow may not be enough to reduce stress on the crossbow limbs. It may simulate a dry fire and eventually cause the bow to fail. I own several modern recurve crossbows and they have a minimum weight limit of 385 grains. Fiberglass prods are 150 and 165 lbs pull. The heavier will shoot a 400 grain arrow around 260 fps. Shoots very flat to 25 yards and drops about 4 inches at 30 yards, 8 inches at 35 yards and 18 inches at 40.

Watching this video brings it home how utterly crippling a largescale war was in an era where most peasants were worried about having enough food to survive the winter. The materials and man-hours going into a single cross bow are astonishing to the modern city resident. Let alone the investment in making thousands of them for army. Plus clothing. Armour. Food. Most of which were not provided (and hence why many campaigns suffered catastrophic losses to exposure, starvation and desertion). And this guy had the luxury of modern technology, modern steel and mechanica ldrills and saws! Good bit of practical archaeology in its own way.

[@Dr.Consciousness]

He should apply for Guinness World record. Chat GPT says the best medieval crossbows only achieved 200ft per sec

[@joost1120]

The weight of the bolt is important to note. Medieval crossbows used quite thick and heavy bolts. They used such bolts so they lost less energy to drag over range, and also to prevent the bolt from shattering upon being released. This crossbow doesn't really achieve anywhere near record level power. You could still draw this with a simple lever, while the heavier crossbows required complex pulleys to draw. I have no doubt that medieval crossbows could easily achieve such high speeds, but using lighter bolts would be less effective, so why bother?

Interesting. I have seen other videos that show medieval steel Xbows shooting bolts with 1000+ pounds of draw weight. The historical bows were limited to short power strokes,because steel back then could not be trusted to flex beyond a certain point without danger of snapping.
