Build the simplest crossbow ever

Ever wanted to make a crossbow? Need a project to fill your time? Want to make something with friends or family?

If you have answered "Yes!" to any of these questions, this film is for you. We show you every step in making the simplest crossbow ever, from plank to shooting. It is made using only a saw, knife and drill - that's it!.

You can make it big or small, weak or powerful, it is up to you. (Shooting starts at 20:05)

You will be able to find the plans here https://todcutler.com but they will not be available until Monday 6th April.
