Materials list : 50lb or 80lb or 120lb draw weight crossbow prod - search Google for places that sell them

Or you can make a  prod by cutting handsaw blades into 45cm x 37mm sections using a angle grinder, cut in grooves at the end for the string and tape together in bundles of at least 5 (more details coming soon)

You will also need:

STOCK : Four plywood boards, 66cm x 16cm x 12mm or other wood

NUT : One aluminium block, 25mm x 45mm x 45mm , or any hard materials, including hard wood, plastics, other metals (you can use steel, but it will make this a very long hard job)

TRIGGER : One aluminium plate 7cm x 6cm x 12mm or some kind of hardwood this size.

SIDE PLATES: Four aluminium plates 12cm x 8cm x 2mm thick, or you can 3mm plywood for this.
