How To Make A Crossbow - Part III - Making The Body

In the third part of this serie, I make the body of the crossbow and some other parts needed for the final assembly. The general shape of the crossbow is inspired by a crossbow I saw in the video game The Witcher 3. For the body, I used a piece of oak I had from a previous project. I also made a safety pin and put some laquer on the metal parts to prevent the rust. Part IV is here: This is my entry for Dirty Smith’s Zombie Apocalypse Weapon Challenge 2017 #DirtySmithZA3.
