This is all based on crossbows even slingshots, I used to make them for bannets International crossbows Wolverhampton UK back in the 1978s... and I new all the family...
Thats cool y'all, i used to make slingshots when i was real young. My moms a nurse so she had tons of turbiquettes all over. Just take a Y shaped stick and tie on the ruber band and get a piece of leather from your pants, n boom. It would shoot rocks soo far. You can even swing your arm with it and it'll fling your projectile even further.. I used to just fire it in the neighborhood, still dont know where those rocks went! Be caredul yall i couldve killed someone or did damage to property.
I've binged watched Joerg over the last two weeks because he is a joy to behold. That's why I mentioned recurve bow. literally tried to stop, then I see a new video in my feed and before I know it. "Hello and welcome to slingshot channel." 😳 I have an addiction.
Most of the crossbows and the longbows are made of fibreglass resin heated in a Mold at a right temperature, some where made out of metal aluminium but most were made from fibreglass resin, the stock was wood and aluminium...
@@nyan2317 it is a no, and it is a ridiculous one. It would have cost him 5 minutes to take a picture. But he rather spends 5 minutes explaining how he is an entertainer in the show business.
The fact you're doing all this without any engineering background really makes it that much more impressive! It always amazes me not only how well they work, but how efficiently all the triggers and levers and everything fit together in a tight space without interfering, especially with things like this that move around so much
You don't need to get deep into engineering when building a homemade crossbow/ slingshot. All you need is highschool physics in order to do a few energy calculations so you don't end up with a weak weapon or one that requires too much strength to draw. Joerg can build a bridge. An engineer can build a bridge that barely works, as the saying goes.
The first engineers didn't need a degree they just needed logic. Hell, the historic monument's that still stands today after millenia weren't made by people who got a piece of paper after 4 years.

Sadly, too many creative people are wasting their creativity at dead-end desk jobs, that don't appreciate them. If you're a talented person, the best thing you can do is to start working for yourself.

"The big problem with nukes has always been the need for ICBMs or strategical bombers to use them, and you also needed a lot of distance. But not anymore! With my new, lever activated, nuclear slingshot you can throw small tactical nukes just over your enemies heads, with a safety distance of minimum 300m. Just don't forget your safety shirt!"
The de-cocking feature alone outclasses a lot of modern crossbows. For those you’d either have to shoot a bolt or use the cocking device to ease it out from the firing position. I’d like to see a full sized version.
I watch the German feed when it is available even though I know very little German just to see his enthusiasm for his projects - his skill shines through
Or even worse 3D printed 🤠 cowboys trying to hold up his design I don't think head mind if they'd take the time to make it out of plywood. But your right shortcut to greatness.
Well hello, As a Florida man, I can say you impress me with the crazy creative energy you have. Keep it up you have a friend in Florida watching over you
As a fellow Florida Man, I agree. Joergs' inventions are fantastic and could be useful in many Floridaesque type ventures. I would like to formally invite Joerg to the Sunshine State to assist me in building a 'gator catapult, as I have a need for one. Don't worry, it will only be used for good and legal purposes. Mostly.
You really are a brilliant engineer Joerg, I am glad you are finding success with manufacturing and selling your amazing inventions! You deserve it mate. Good to see
I have printed 5 sliding legolinis so far, because it is brilliant. Kept 4 of them for myself, played a bit around for modifications and presented one of them to a friend. he became instant fan of yours and subscribed to the channel. (kudos to that Lukasz guy who made stls possible). I would be really really happy if someone also uploaded this as an stl...this looks so cool. Anyways, thanks Jörg, you are an inspiring person.
Joerg, I would recommend getting yourself a 3d printer, even if you don't know how to build 3d models for it yourself. For one, they are TONS of fun! But more seriously, even if you can't make your own models, there are tons of freely available models for printing out there, some of which you might find useful for your builds. And modern commercially available printers are not only a lot cheaper than before, but also a lot more precise. You can get a very good 3d printer for under $300 US, and spools of filament or bottles of resin generally run you around $45 US, and one spool or bottle will last you quite a while. A bit of advice from someone who's used both type of printers, you'll probably find more use out of a FMD type printer (the kind that take the spools of filament) considering what you're likely to use them for. The PLA or ABS plastic they use has more strength than most resins, and they tend to have a larger build plate, meaning you'd be able to print out larger parts. PLA and ABS also takes to sanding pretty wall, and ABS can be smoothed and polished using acetone quite easily. A SLA (resin) printer though is much better at getting very fine details, and the prints they produce are usually much more exact than those produced by FMD printers, however the cured resin can be quite a bit more brittle than PLA or ABS, though it's possible to get some types of flexible resin to produce things like washers or gaskets. As for the software they need, if you're getting your files online to print out, you really only need to worry about the slicing program. This is the software that takes the model and converts it to code the printer can read to know how to go about printing the model. It also places supports in areas where the model will need to be held up during printing. With FMD printers in particular, all you really have to do is position your model in the build area displayed in your slicer program, and maybe adjust a few settings for layer height, infill, or support generation. The biggest concern is orientating the model for the best print, and making sure it's well supported so you don't have any unsupported areas (else you end up with what I like to call a 'spaghetti failure'). It's honestly well worth getting into, especially in your line of work. Infact, I've already seen a few people who have been making printable versions of your designs.
As much as I love watching you use the bows I think my favorite part of watching your videos is your laugh. You have a very enjoyable and hearty/healthy laugh
Joerg Your workmanship is awesome, I love the shape & finish of that little pistol crossbow in fact it's curves and shape could almost be described as attractive , just like almost all the other crossbows You have produced it is the work of a dedicated amateur artisan which would make many trained artisans jealous . Thank You for showing us this wooden work of art . Shoot Straight Stay Safe & Stay Well .
Tod of Tod's workshop also shows that steel bows have a speed limit. Even a 1000lb+ bow doesn't move a projectile faster than an 800lb bow, it is just able to move a heavier projectile. Steel isn't an ideal bow material.
I think with the correct steel like tempered spring steel, you can get good performance. Sacrificing a little speed for power can be worth it, and you can definitely make something formidable without needing such large draw weights. You want to use steel that wouldn’t have been available during medieval times, then again nobody had fiberglass back then either.
I honestly don't even care about crossbows. I just feel happy watching his terrifying/heart warming laugh and seeing him being enthusiastic about his newest toy/creation.
I am very thankful to Mr. Sprave for the invaluable master craft classes on improvised weaponry. I have tinkered all my life and my hats off to Joergs genius.
Joerg, have you thought about making these with reverse draw limbs? I imagine you could make it almost as compact as this one with actual limbs, and as the heaviest, sturdiest part is attached to the handle, you might even be able to make the lever and magazine assembly lighter. With the double-string assembly, you might even be able to make some kind of a reload assist using the same limbs.
The part that has me most intrigued is how the trigger release allows the return of the bolt assembly, very unique way of removing a persons motion from the equation.
Joerg! I would love to see you make your own hwacha but powered by rubber of course! The hwacha is an ancient Japanese weapon that could shoot about 100 arrows at the same time!
Awesome. Such a master craftsman, amazing how he builds these things from scratch. He'd totally survive in an apocalyptic situation since he can build his own weapons where as most people try to find one lol. Great video.
I feel like one advantage of using rubber instead of a metal cross piece is that the weapon ends up being a lot less wide. This would make it easier to store or use in tight spaces
I used to be a helicopter engineer in the Army. U got talent and i always love ur contraptions. I built a crossbow but broke leaf trying to string it. hadn't estimated the draw with the leaf bow i had and the purchased draw string. Ur contraption looks funner, but mine had a kewl aluminum trigger assembly with springs and a safety (when the bow was just rubber bands)
Love you, Joerg! Question: Is it theoretically possible to curve the magazine for greater capacity, even something like a drum magazine? Or is there a limiting factor that makes higher capacity impossible?
Would love it if you sold plans. Either way been following you for years love the content. I know you don't make blue prints but you could film the building process. Wood workers love to watch builds. That note use patrion to have followers watch or do live streams.
How are you not working for some 007 agency or CIA? btw for blue prints, how about just having a picture of all the parts next to a ruler? I think people will be able to figure out how it all assembles.
Instead of blueprints for builds like this, maybe close-up shots of the disassembled parts, laid out on a grid mat? That would make it easier for people to reproduce designs, or translate them into stl.
Have to give credit to you for making a crossbow pistol that small in wood. Clocks compared to wrist watches are easy. Wrist watches in wood is daunting. Nice job.
My issue with 3D printing this is that plastic won't be as strong as wood and will seriously limit the power you can have before it blows up in your hands.
You sir are one of the most brilliant Renaissance geniuses of this day and age. I admire your innovative ideas. I would put you in the same league as Archimedes or Leonardo DaVinci.
Every video, I half expect Joerge to show me a slingshot that hurls angry Doberman Pincers at the target. I haven't seen that yet, but I haven't been disappointed either.
Great build Joerg, I am happy you are building projects again. I have a simple solution for those who want plans. Perhaps you could take pictures of each part sitting on a grid such as a cutting mat or graph paper as you craft them. The pictures would give designers a place to start, and require little effort on your part.
@@Slingshotchannel I understand. The photos would have to be taken while you were creating it, before the final assembly and glue up. Just something to consider. It is clear you are asked often for plans. Thanks again for making videos!
So, the meat target. Now for those who havent seen it, the meat target is leather couch skin, followed by pork chop pectoral, covered by 1 layer of t-shirt on the front, 1 layer of plastic film on the front and one layer on the back and the whole thing followed by our old and trusty archery mat

I thought he did? I'm pretty sure he said a long time ago that you can find all his plans
He has already had trouble with TH-cam and the press
The design and ergonomic of your dart shooter is beautiful. No blue prints is because you are a natural artist. Hahaha!
"it is something in between a rifle and a pistol." So a carbine? ;)
Yes, pretty much.
Or a Riftol or Pisle?
Your craftsmanship is out standing.
Wunderschön!
Sehr gutes Video!
Keep up the great work!
Danke Schon, Jeorge. Your designs are genius. I've said it before, but you have the most infectious laugh. I love it.
It looks very cool. Please make a metal version that is more powerful and compact. Then sell us it :)
plastics and aluminum, maybe 2" longer.
40 lb draw is convenient, gray exercise tubing is 20 lb.
maybe a manufacturer will make a deal with Joerg.
Man i remeber this channel when it had like 800 subs and to see it grow like this make me happy
How are you not working for some 007 agency or CIA?
btw for blue prints, how about just having a picture of all the parts next to a ruler?
I think people will be able to figure out how it all assembles.
Your laugh always brings a smile to my face regardless of the circumstances I'm in. Not to mention the great content.
lol I like how Jeorg has to make little sound effects when he shoots.
my grandpa was laughing in the same way. he had similar glasses and was also big like you. its so nice hanging out right here
Shades of Paul Harrell, Joerg implements the "meat target"!
Need pork ribs and orange lung tissue. =)
Instead of blueprints for builds like this, maybe close-up shots of the disassembled parts, laid out on a grid mat? That would make it easier for people to reproduce designs, or translate them into stl.
“Started to bleed all over my weapon” 😩
It gives the wood that desirable reddish tone, it's totally Sexy^!!^
Have to give credit to you for making a crossbow pistol that small in wood. Clocks compared to wrist watches are easy. Wrist watches in wood is daunting. Nice job.
Looks so damn nice, idk why but it reminds of medevil crossbows
Well Joerg, you may not have "modern engineer training" but you sir are at least a slingshot engineer of the highest level.
My issue with 3D printing this is that plastic won't be as strong as wood and will seriously limit the power you can have before it blows up in your hands.
Glad to see a new video. Thanks buddy
just try to understand how happy medieval ppl r that this man was born in this era and not theirs
Can i get any plans/blueprints of this style of pistolbow by any chance?
Anything similar that is self cocking is desired fir pig & goat control.
I love it!
What is it's draw length?
I just discovered this guys channel. His laugh is something else lol.
I love how well made your contraptions are. Allways have.
TY for sharing. 🙂
"This is the slingshot channel not the springshot channel" Love it!!!
You sir are one of the most brilliant Renaissance geniuses of this day and age. I admire your innovative ideas. I would put you in the same league as Archimedes or Leonardo DaVinci.
He's probably passed up at least two or three patent opportunities that would have made him a full blown tycoon! But ...we still have him here!!!
what about anodized bolts/etc for wood projects to improve visuals?
i love you man, raw creativity with no ties to making money. you have been a huge inspiration to me over the years.
Every video, I half expect Joerge to show me a slingshot that hurls angry Doberman Pincers at the target. I haven't seen that yet, but I haven't been disappointed either.
I agree with your point. Yes, steel springs have their application, but not slingshots.
"i dont think it's necessary to make it more powerful, it's fun the way it is..." who the hell is this wise man and what did he do to our joerg
Everything joerg makes is amazing. I love it!!
Hey Jörg, hast Du auch Anleitungen zum nachbauen?
Gruß Marco
You are not stupid you are a genius I love your weapons you are a true artist
Great build Joerg, I am happy you are building projects again. I have a simple solution for those who want plans. Perhaps you could take pictures of each part sitting on a grid such as a cutting mat or graph paper as you craft them. The pictures would give designers a place to start, and require little effort on your part.
Most of the weapon is glued and can’t be disassembled.
@@Slingshotchannel I understand. The photos would have to be taken while you were creating it, before the final assembly and glue up. Just something to consider. It is clear you are asked often for plans. Thanks again for making videos!
So, the meat target. Now for those who havent seen it, the meat target is leather couch skin, followed by pork chop pectoral, covered by 1 layer of t-shirt on the front, 1 layer of plastic film on the front and one layer on the back and the whole thing followed by our old and trusty archery mat
