    The couch arrived in two boxes four days early, which was great because we'd just moved into a new house and needed places to sit. My son and I put it together pretty quickly ruclips.net/user/postUgkxitRzxya-XugamYgLwa_2G1gxPg4MCJHa . Another reviewer suggested inserting the seat into the side and I'm glad they did as the instructions weren't clear on that matter. It's incredibly light and slides easily across the wood floor, making it easy to move. It's firm, but comfortable. It will even be great to nap on. I got the gray, which definitely has strong blue undertones, but I'm okay with that.

    I've been searching YT for weeks seeking out a simple and effective trigger build and am sure i found it right here. So many complicated versions out there and built with the help of half a fucking tool supply shop. Keep it country is always my motto and use quality product for endurance and reliability. Good man. New sub.

    Watched this a few times. My buddy has all of the tools to precision cut metals. Used steel for the retainer and trigger. We made the housing out of aluminum. I based it off of how the AR15 trigger group is. Basically used the same concept you have here but when it was placed inside of the housing and pinned into place. Once it was dropped into the bow two bolts ran across to secure the entire assembly.

    Excellent simple and robust. I believe all kit must be extremely robust and very easy to repair in the field with the most simple means and material found in the field.
    Thank you , my entertainment comes from learning something new with simple at the core.

      Selfmade No it's not sarcasm. I like the design and execution. My experience over too many decades now has shown me simple always wins. It's eloquent because of its simplicity. The Germans found that out first hand. There equipment was always over engineered where the Russians always went for robust simplicity in greater numbers. Even though one on one the Germans always won.
      The T-34 had a very simple robust eloquent design that proved to not only be there equal but proved to superior to any tank of the war.

      Being German myself I can't help but disagree with this comment. Yes simplicity is easier to replicate and repair but it doesn't mean by default it is better. Look at cars for instance....Germany builds some of the best cars on the market and has been a leader in the automotive industry since Hitler and the beetle.

    i have been looking for a nice speargun trigger plan and found this is perfect when i change a few tiny details thank you so much!!

    • @SelfmadeChannel
      @SelfmadeChannel  8 лет назад

      Hm, should actuallly work just like it is. What changes and why? Just in case I make one someday ^^

    • @ewanismyname8999
      @ewanismyname8999 8 лет назад +1

      well the speargun shafts need a top for the clip to press against the shaft and the shaft to press against the top
      also i will make it painfully with a hacksaw in 5mm stainless marine grade steel
      the housing has to be made of one piece folded over also and a stronger spring also the catch does not need to be hollow in the centre it can be solid and the catch has to be round not pointy but other than that its perfect

    • @SelfmadeChannel
      @SelfmadeChannel  8 лет назад

      Could swear the spears have a notch at the end, so this should work as shown. Besides materials. Has to be steel and the notch for the arrow is not needed.

    • @ewanismyname8999
      @ewanismyname8999 8 лет назад

      exactly yes and has to be able to hold 160kg of elastic

  • @pegasusprepper2053
    @pegasusprepper2053 7 лет назад +2

    Quick question. Have you tested this out in an actual crossbow with a decent load? Because from what it looks like, when the string is pulled back to sit behind the arrow in the resting area, it will create a moment releasing the arrow even if you didn't pull on the trigger. Or basically, it will automatically go off when you try to set the arrow and string. Im not saying this will happen, this is just what it looks like to me.

    • @SelfmadeChannel
      @SelfmadeChannel  7 лет назад

      Of course I did. You can add a notch, or make the pin part a bit higher...will work fine.

  • @Francois_Dupont
    @Francois_Dupont 2 года назад

    the only problem with your prototype is that the front paw dont softly and smoothly clear the string path. i think having the pivot point rearward a little more would help it swivel downward farther.

  • @jerryc6147
    @jerryc6147 4 года назад

    Shouldn't the bolt/string catch pivot 90 degrees when the trigger is pulled? At the current stop angle, it seems like the string, behind the bolt, will catch on the forward prongs/fork and cause it to jump above the bolt/arrow. not to mention it seems like the string drag over it will cause excessive wear and premature string failure. If it pivots 90 degrees the forward string catch will rotate completely out of the way. Or am I missing something? I need to know, LOL.

  • @JoseSanchez-oy2jc
    @JoseSanchez-oy2jc 3 года назад

    Pienso que la parte del mecanismo destinada a sujetar la cuerda debiera ceder más después de apretar el gatillo. No es conveniente que la cuerda se vea obligada a dar un salto para ganar la horizontal en su camino hacia adelante.

    von grund auf eine gute idee, aber die konstruktion würde ich noch mal überarbeiten. du läufst gefahr das große sehnenspannung nicht gehalten werden kann.
    die kante am auslöser darf nicht so schräg sein, sonst hast du einen fallen effect wie bei einem türschloss.
    die feder solltest du so anordnen das nache einem auslösen automatisch wieder rückrastet.

    • @SelfmadeChannel

      This is a great design and in steel will hold 2000 lbs or 900kg. Small changes (like keeping the corners rounded and enlarging the Shaft diameters will result in enhanced load bearing.
      People, please understand that thought and effort have gone into this design. When someone gives you something free, please accept it with gratitude. The folk who want links and measurements and who cannot even get it when the man says trace in on a paper, ...can never get it free even if it was mailed to them.

  • @duanabsa9993
    @duanabsa9993 4 года назад

    Not a bad design, the whole idea is there. How ever don't make a space in between the 'hook' part where the string hangs as this would weaken the area as string tension can be as high as 400 pounds, even more. To hold the end of the bolt in position, a thin flat piece of metal or hard plastic should be used. Bolt or dart as it is called, not arrows, the name of the arrow launched from a crossbow. I would DOUBLE the size of all components used here including the screws and bolts and nuts for strength. Make the angle of the front face of the string holder or hook, LOWER, as to ease insertion of string when pulled into firing position. Please include a safety device for the trigger mechanism including a trigger guard. . Be safe always. NEVER fire a dry bow or crossbow as this will severely damage the equipment. Thanks.
