Okay, so you can see that I have got 2 layers of cardboard glued together and....
...I'm adding some newspaper on the sides so that those gaps are not visible.
You can see, there are lots of gaps, holes and all that.So, I'll finish this piece
and then I'll make the other piece. Okay I just thought of showing you how...
...much I have proceeded. I've made the 2 pieces and also, I have stuck the...
...railing to one side. I've put some cardboard pieces in the shape of this front...
...part to add the spacing and I covered it with 2 strips of hard paper. I learnt...
... how to make hard paper from another YouTube channel. What you do is, you...
...glue layers and layers of paper until it gets really hard, I learnt it from another...
...YouTube channel. So using this technique I made my 'nut'. How I made it is, ...
...I took hard paper and cut it into the desired shape and I made a piece of 32 layers.
This side is 32 layers of paper. So I made 2 pieces of those. Then I cut many cardboard...
...pieces in the shape of the bottom part of the nut. And then I made layers and layers...
...of those and put it in the middle. You can see the cardboard here. And that was to
add...
...the spacing because we want some space in between so that our bolt can slide in properly.
I had to make sure that there was enough space for the bolt to fit through. The bolt had
to...
...fit through properly. So I cut pieces of cardboard like this and put some space in
the middle.
Then I took a strip of hard paper and I covered it all over the sides so that you can't squeeze...
...this nut inwards, like this. So it came out hard enough and also, I made the tickler.
I just...
...made this by putting 48 layers. I had to make 4 pieces of 8 layers to make this piece
of...
...32 layers. I cut it out of these pieces. You can see that I have cut it out. I cut
it out using my...
...knife. And the tickler is made out of 48 layers. And now, here comes the part where...
...I need to be very careful and that is, placing the trigger and the nut. Now I need
to place...
...the trigger and the nut such that when I pull the trigger, it should not interfere
and hit this part.
Because you can see this it�s touching here but it has not left the nut properly. So I'll
have to adjust...
...it properly. So I may need to put it like... like this. Such that when you pull the trigger...
...it should leave the nut properly. It should let the nut free. It should not still be catching
the nut...
...when you've pulled it fully like this then, that'll make it a lot tougher to fire. So
that's going to take some time.
And then, after I fix the trigger and nut properly, I�ll be adding the spacings (spacers).
And then...
...I will be going, working on the top. So we'll see how that goes. Okay, I've been working
on the crossbow...
...a little more. I've put the holes for the trigger mechanism and the trigger mechanism
is also functioning properly.
I had to put all these spacings over here so that the trigger mechanism would function
properly.
And it's the same on the other side. I had to keep adding layers at odd places because
the trigger mechanism...
...did not function as well without them. And also, the hole on my nut over here was
too big so...
...I put this piece of hard paper on top of it here to make it smaller. And I've also
been adding...
...some cardboard here to add the spacing. And it's going fine. Okay I just did a little
bit more...
...and I cut these 2 sticks out so they are not jutting out any more. And also,... I just
need to open this up.
I've also put some layers of newspaper on the inside and covered up all the cardboard
as you can see over here.
Now I'm going to glue the stock together. And then I'm going to get started with....
I'm going to start finishing...
...the stock. Okay, that's about it.
