I made this arrow throwing rifle out of plywood, a couple of springs and scrap metal parts.
First of all I cut a piece of 18mm plywood using my circular saw and a guide rail.
I then designed my rifle with a marker.
I cut the basic shape on my bandsaw.
I used several scrap metal parts for this build. I also used a few metal corners I had laying around. I cut them all on the bandsaw while first spraying WD-40 to be safe from overheating and blade burning.
I made all the holes using my drill press or my power drill free handed.
For the trigger mechanism, I made a mortise. I made several holes with my drill press and used a sharp chisel to clean it up.
I assembled everything using screws, nuts and bolts. Butterfly nut are pretty handy in this situation.
All the power of the toy comes from two springs which I up-cycled from an old desk lamp.
how is it on shooting steel balls?
