Overall Length: 16 Inches Total Weight: 5 pounds All the Processes are below of making this beautiful Crossbow: Forging: It took me almost two weeks to prepare and hand forge Coil Spring piece into a long Steel Strip and this was my hardest forging ever. I don’t have any serious equipment so all the forging as well as welding i did with my hands and turned a spring piece into an almost 21 inch straight metal strip. Grinding: I make most of grindings with my professional Belt grinder and turned the strip into a beautiful workpiece. I also did a lot of hand sanding with a help of abrasive to remove the edges and almost all the roughness of the blank. v. I made grooves on Limb with the help of round file. v. Hand Sanded the surface to remove roughness.
