/diy/ - Do It Yourself

/k/ wasn't very interested so I'll keep posting updates here.
Finished extending the magazine, I'll probably be just shy of 15 bolts. Bow is starting to get pretty heavy so maybe next time I'll use plastic (heresy I know). Though eventually I plan to make a bipod or tripod mount.
Been experimenting with crossbow bolt design. Planning to just buy field trips because I don't want to spend the rest of my life turning cones on my lathe. Best luck I've had so far is drilling an undersized hole and threading field trips into the wood shaft (tips have 8-32).
Planning to install a second 1/8 piece of spring steel in the next couple of weeks which should double the power.
