A little bowed I know but I like him just fine. My buddy let me come over and use his shop so I had access to a lot of nice machiney A little time on the jointer and the issue is solved.
Did a rough sketch of what I wanted exactly. then took it to the band saw.
Then drilled the thumbhole and started sanding.... and sanding... and, well you get the picture.
I wanted to use his nice drill bits for the tigger mech hole thingie so I did that too.
Here's where I'm at so far...
I've got a ways to go, but I'd thaught I'd share my progress on this one. I think I know someone who'll enjoy watching this guy get built.
Side note: Why does the insert button exist? does anyone ever use it enough to a point where they say "hey, thank god this button is so close to the backspace button I use almost every two keystrokes. It makes it so convienient."
Anyway back on topic....
You might be wondering why this topic is called "Harlequin Crossbow" I'm getting to that, hold on.
You see, a very good person decided to entrust me with a beautiful custom made trigger and I feel the need to build a worthy home for it.
Ok, that picture stinks and does not do it justice. but here is a link to the topic it was spawned in.
