So, what to do with all these crossbows I keep building, without any plan of selling or giving or otherwise getting rid of any of them? A medieval style A-frame weapon rack, of course.
Took me a couple of weekends to knock this together. All the lumber was scavenged from broken pallets at my workplace, except the pegs which are half-inch oak dowels. The only metal in the rack are the two hinge bolts, everything else is pinned with dowels and glued together. It's sanded just enough to keep from damaging the goods hung on it, lightly stained and finished with linseed oil to keep a "rustic" look. Still room for more crossbows, plus the reverse side for all my melee implements.
