Homemade toothpick crossbow



This is what boredom created, a toothpick crossbow. It was made from items I found around the house. About 15 ice lollie sticks, giant paper clip, small paper clip, fishing line, pen spring, toothpick, scalpel top and hair clip. The bow was the hardest part to souce, I was going to use a thin knife and shape it into the bow but then I found a junior hack saw blade, which looked good but still needed to be filed down. As I was searching the house I came across a hairclip and realised it was the perfect bow. Stick together with lots of glue and voila, a totally pointless and complete waste of time toothpick crossbow.

That's great! I have read your article post. What kind of wood did you use for the bow and for the bolt? Thank's for sharing.
