Hello there! I am a 10 year old and I love making tools and weapons. I will make this in my basement. I also have a blueprint bolted in my mind. Great video! 😃😃 Edit: I don’t have iron to make the iron things. I will be using wood to make all the parts.

1. you can shave up to 70% of wood from the tiller without loosing strength. 2. in this design, nut axle is overloaded. In proper design axle is not needed- nut is rotating inside cylindrical hole which is close in size to the nut dimension, so all tension is transferred to the front of the hole. It is impossible to carve such enclosure it in the tiller, so rectangular hole was carved and bone (or wooded, or brass) inserts were used to make proper cylindrical enclosure (like axle-box, only with nut instead of axle). Check Paine-Gallwey, he has this covered for "14 century crossbow" (which is in fact 17 century Flemish one) . You can cut axle box from plywood, fit the nut and then insert into tiller. Just do not make it tight fit, in that case any change in moisture may jam the nut

1. That is true, you can. But there is not really any benefit to it, except making the crossbow lighter. Many military style crossbows had thick stocks. Of course, the elegant thinner ones were used as well. 2. This is true and also interesting fact, but it doesn´t apply to this crossbow. This mechanism wasn´t really used on earlier crossbows (12th century style). These early crossbows use the simple system i show here (sometimes they haven´t used steel axle for the nut, but just string lashing, but in the end it works the same). The mechanism you describe was used on later crossbows, using steel axle and nut too. You have to use bronze/brass/steel for this. Wood, bone or antler will not work, as any change in the air humidity will make materials increase volume and the mechanism will jam. Or if you leave too much space, the mechanism will not work again, as the nut won´t hold in place very reliably.

ok i love the idea you had for a built in bow stringer. very clever. but you never bound the bow?
@JJChWorkshop
@JJChWorkshop 4 жыл бұрын
Hello there my friend, the built-in stringer is indeed very handy. I actually did bound the bow, but it would take very long time to show on video and it wouldn¨t be interesting to watch. Check my video of crossbow shooting (also on my channel) where I shoot this crossbow with finished string binding, all the best! JJCh
