How to Easily Make a Powerful Crossbow From an Old Saw 

People who make content like this usually have a fully-equipped workshop full of lathes, milling machines etc. so well done for doing this using hand tools - I'm very impressed!

Thanks for making this without music. 👍 Awesome vid and much care taken in hand-crafting a crossbow! Now if I can only find an "old saw" like that haha

Awesome work. Super impressed with the trigger mechanism.

Обалденно , очень понятно. Пошагово и несложно!) Спасибо Вам

Brilliant work. The trigger mechanism is amazing. Well done.

Totally agree with everyone who loved the trigger, very impressive, especially by hand- this would've taken hours upon hours. Great job!

I love this video because you don't work with million dollar machines, you do everything with your own hands, like me when I was young

Stunning craftsmanship on that trigger design!

I was wincing like hell at so many nails, but can't deny this is damn pretty and well-machined.

this is so cool. We clearly have different definitions of "easily" though!

I really admire people who have skills like this because I'm hopelessly impractical.

I came here just for the trigger. Nice

how to "easily" do this , says the master craftsman , who made this beauty , great work !

I LIKE THAT " -- WELL DONE -- THUMBS UP "

Brilliant improvisation with a couple of hand tools

The gun is so big and beautiful

The final result of your creation is magnificent and i love it ill go make my self one too

great video ty for tutorial greetings from turkey best country

Cruel treatment to 🍎 good treatment to apple eat it. Nice video.

very interesting. your video is very good

Awesome job

6:30 It's understandable why that's one of the most replayed parts of this video. That is a sweet mechanism you've created there fella, fair play. Lovely end result. And 11:13 that is a cool way of highlighting the grains in the wood 😳😊 Just curious about the approximate range that this fires an arrow to?

How to Easily? Really bruh easily

Very good - I think it's better to drill pilot holes for screws in this kind of work.

very impressive, I enjoyed watching this video. After the watch I thaught I could try one straight away.

Made with simple tools found in most garages. Great job

When I was in high school (class of '69) it was pretty common for someone in shop class to make a crossbow.

cool,now use an old truck or carriage leaf spring...broom sticks for bolts

Next step: transform to compound crossbow, good job bro

Amazing skills my friend. You made an awesome looking xbow

Very well made! A truly an enjoyable watch.😊👍🏻 Thank you!

I love your videos. Each project is better and better.

I like everything but the trigger guard. Should have made it out of the same steel as many of the other flat steel parts. ---------------Well, that aside, excellent crossbow. powerful and accurate.

Good, mas poderia ter passado todas as medidas explicando mais! Tnks!

I enjoyed this video. Very informative and a good use of scrap metal and lumber.

Very good job ❤ Power Crossbow

Excellent craftsmanship

Interesting. I wonder what a double layer of saw blade would do to increase draw weight and arrow/bolt velocity ? It would be easy enough to find out since 99% of the work is already done

Nice bow

Great video. Did you make plans of the pieces and their dimensions? And if you made them, it would be very helpful if you put them in the description.

Good😊

Great video,thank's.Will make one too..Maybe a bit easier with mill and lathe..

Great job, unlike most of these types of videos i actually think most people could do this without a giant workshop.

Festinating. Nice job. Thanks for sharing!! Ax

Спусковий механізм неперевершений!!! Ви хороший майстер!!! 😊

1. the trigger mech needs to be epoxied in place on both sides to give rigidity to the stock and restrict it's movements. 2. the bow striength is abismal... you can use another bow just like it lashed to the original bow to double it's striength ( if you can cock it with one hand it is just a toy!) (if it takes all your striength with both arms it is at the bottom end of real cross bow power) and a bit less bow in the bow will result in a faster bolt( so it pushes the bolt a bit longer !) 3. the stock bulge at the forward hand rest needs to be longer and deeper to keep your fingers away from the bow string.... you will only make the mistake of getting your fingers hit by the string once ! ( ask me how I know ! it really hurts !) 4. good idea on the burning finish on the stock but now add lots of motor oil to the stock as a preservative. ... your trigger mech. is great but should be rivited together as there is alot of force there and it can twist the plates and jam the trigger...(thrust washers are also a good idea for the pivot points) I made my bow out of 1" PVC pipe with a 1/2" piece of pipe inside it and it is a very strong bow.... the string/cable should rest on top of the bow arms creating less drag on the stock and more speed for the bolt. a cross bow done right, is just as accurate as a rifle, has a flat trajectory for the range you will shoot at. and hits hard enough to sink the bolt 3"~6" into a tree.... which means it will go through a Deer or Human. their great for home defence ! because their silent, hit extremally hard and do not require gunpowder or a license. All in all a very nice build..... make another one with a PVC bow, it will surprise you i am sure!

Incredible build!

Terrific video! Made with love! 😉✌️👍🇬🇧

Thanks for sharing subscribed great video

I love it. Except that string with the metal ferrules. It’s going to break eventually and the side that breaks is going to fly towards your eye. I would add a leather buffer to keep the metal bow from cutting the string and also just tie the string with knots.

Rapaz, ficou excelente, olha esse tiro firme, é uma obra prima

Totally cool project!

very lovely mechanism!

Зроблю і собі такий)😅

🔥 fire harden your arrows tips to increase hardness , making your own bolts using all right features of a large bird to spin right or all left feathers to spin left and natural pine sap heated up as a natural glue to secure your arrow heads .way better than buying bolts.

Great job love your work totally amazing thanks for sharing

Whats your best long distance shot?

Good work," William",now you can eat the 🍎😊

Nicely made

Awesome video thank you so much for making it ❤️👍

Wow its awsome 😮

Great job ...but the power is too low

Well done

I enjoyed this very much. Pretty solid work for the tools being used in my opinion. I wonder if the front site is to far back? Almost seems like the cable was hitting it. If you decide to make a stronger one I’d consider moving the site forward.

Good I Like Videos

Great job👍 is that sander shaping the bow stock a standard angle grinder?

Legal parabéns

Angling the prod in at like an 80 degree angle will reduce string drag in the tiller and increase power.

Very nice job.

Adorei seu vídeo, você não fala nada mas é bem explicado parabéns 👏👏🇧🇷👏👏

This is super cool and innovative but I’m not sure I’d label it “easy”

Really great work! How punctual?

Now I can be like Darrell dixon 😂

Cool dude!

perfect❤❤❤

I would absolutely HAVE to take a deer with it if I were the badass that made it!

Ingenious

Crude methods, but your lock is pretty legit

Nice, I used a car leaf spring and a come-along to cock it. It's mounted on an old log splitter trailer.

Золоті ручки молодець

Deadly to any apple 😮

What was the draw weight.

Hey.... I like it.

Only thing making this illegal in Sweden is the trigger mechanism. Love it though

Do you have planns available?

what metal is used for the mechanism?

whats the width of the metal of the saw blade you used?

it's an industrial work of a kid."except for the trigger assembly".

What us the draw weight tho 🤔

Tomorrow I will make a crossbow by hand and it will be more versatile as it can shoot both ball bullets and arrows. You can refer to it.

Acho que eu tenho metade dessas ferramentas.

Y como hiciste las flechas??

Please what is the name of the rope you used

WICH STTEL BESIDES BIG SAWBLADES IS GOOD FOR THIS

is that crossbow good for hunting?
