Make a Toy Crossbow
Make a Toy Crossbow
Join us on this fun woodworking workshop and build your very own wooden toy crossbow.
You will make your crossbow from a set of components including the main body, head stock, trigger mechanism, bolts with soft end caps and bungee cord. Jonty will instruct you every step of the way as you learn how to expertly build and finish your very own awesome crossbow.
We will attach ends to the crossbow bolts to make them soft on impact and don’t worry mums and dads, they’re not powerful enough to cause any damage, just powerful enough to have fun with!
Then, we’ll let everyone have a go with their new crossbow - safely of course!
