There was atleast one person that wanted to see pictures of the boots I made, ane I love to show off anything I make.
if you click on the picture, it should link you to a larger, higher res pic so you can get a better look.
The boots were yesterday's project. you should see what I made today, no really, click the photos below.
(I know, the darker picture is grainy, but you get the idea)
I had the day off from class due to the ice everywhere, I couldn't resist making this.
It's a hand held Ballista. yes, you could call it a crossbow, but its really not. on a crossbow, the recoil comes from tention on curved pieces of wood. here, the wood arms stay ridged and the tention comes from the twisted cords.
I need to work on the tention to increase the reflex, and I also need to stablize the arms some how. they move around too much and I can't get a clean shot with it.
right now, it's capible of a 30 foot shot with as little force behind it as can be imagined. leathal this aint.
