How To Make An Authentic Crossbow From Scratch | History In The Making 

I bought one of Maryellen’s Maximilian crossbows. Beautifully made, hard hitting, and shoots straight. This video shows the depth of her talent and attention to detail. She was chosen for this video precisely for those reasons. Very well presented and informative. I highly recommend Swifthound Bows.

Yeah, I don't typically comment on videos like this, but I'm VERY impressed and inspired by your craftsmanship and excellence. Thank you.

Get you a girl that makes her own crossbows.

I’d like a blue print of this bow and it’s dimensions. I do medieval reenactment and do a ton of archery and want to expand into making period crossbows. Do you know how I can get my hands on details of this crossbows build?

I fired My hunting crossbow when I first got it at a target (piece of decking with circle drawn on ) in my garden It went straight through it through my shed door through a dehumidifier that was in the shed then out the other side and never found again I now treat it with a lot more care a caution

Prawdziwa Dama z pasją :) Gratulacje i pozdrowienia z Polski !

whats the draw weight of this one

I'm going to make this medieval crossbow

Look just super! Thank you for sharing!

I am so impressed by her craftsmanship. A true artisan.

amazing work!!!

I liked the crossbows I watched you make, real art. Do you sell such copies? I was injured and can't use my longbow anymore...shoulder issues,but I still want to use a period correct piece.

you are making one bow powerful name

Damn she a badass

Now I can build one for survival purposes

How do you determinate the draw length ?

Ah yes, maybe we bigfoots can start using these on the humans who litter everywhere in the woods

crossbows where not the most feard medieval weapon i would say it was the cannon but the fear from it wore of quickly after the time of crecy

Misss I like your crossbow

Where do I order one

Anyone else clicked on this thinking they can make this in the middle of the woods if they happen to be stranded?

Muito bom

Didn't show anything of the making of the metal the bow, trigger mechanism or loading foot rest, this just shows how to make the wooden stock which is the least important part of the process! This video should be titles "watch someone make a wood and bone stock for a medieval style crowsbow from a lomp of wood and several metal parts sourced elsewhere".

0-0-2 dart monkies: *interesting*

from scratch? well that was a lie

Greek Gasaphates, dude...🤷🏽‍♂️

Bruh

Animals bones?

The church banned all projectile weapons not just crossbows. However it wasnt listened too and the crossbow actually sucks at armour penetration due to its tiny draw length. Crossbows arm anyone and anyone can be very accurate with it. Doesnt take much strength or training to use either.

Context to the church trying to ban crossbows...yes...but they attempted to ban ALL archery. Failed miserably obviously.

Im early

I lose respect for people who “replicate” traditional pieces with modern power tools. It loses the magic

way too misbalanced. no precision, no mobility

They should have done a video on tods workshop for this he is way to good

the first was the french crossbow as shown in many tv series
