Paper or Wood?

Thanks to Tacome1942 (You Tube) , I can make paper as hard as wood and making it is as simple as you can imagine. All you have to do is keep gluing layers and layers of paper. If you make a piece of 32 layers, it will be as hard as wood. This will be very useful in my projects. To learn how to make hard paper, click the link.

Homemade Paper Pistol Crossbow (Slingshot)

My Homemade Paper Pistol Crossbow. Made out of paper and cardboard. Why? because that's all I've got. The barrel portion is made of 9 rolls of paper stuck together with some cardboard in between to make the barrel a bit wider. The railing is made from 2 strips of cardboard parellel to each other. The handle was made by sticking layers and layers of cardboard together and scraping the edges to make the handle kind-of ruond. The sight block was made by making a box-like structure above the handle.The trigger was made by cutting pieces of cardboard in the right shape and sticking them together. One very important thing is that the crossbow is powered by rubberbands, so you can call it a crossbow slingshot if you want. Last but not least I want to thank Joerg Sprave (from The Sligshot Channel), Weapon Collector and Jason Wemp (all from YouTube) for giving me ideas on making my crossbows.
