​@@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.

Way back in ``1966 I made with Dad's help a crossbow. The bow was a leaf spring from a 59 Chevy. Got the plans from Scientic American. Calculated that the bow was better than 200 pounds. Bolts used ground down US pennies (full copper). A bolt from this crossbow was able to punch thru a 53 Chevy fender and penetrate the block of the engine. Only shot the crossbow 10-20 times. It was a monster. Dad was really cool about helping me make the beast back in the day. We used a Shopsmth to do the drilling for the string release. I remember using the disk sander to make the trigger mounts. Dangit, that's now damn mear 70 years ago! I do miss Pappy a lot!

Do you still have it? Did it break after using it 20-30 times? Oh damn I'll never get an answer I guess, if you're anything like me, I never notice any comments on my comments.

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

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.

[@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.
