minus-squareover_clox@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up40·2 days agoOh good, apparently my late father’s Folding Crossbow isn’t a restricted patent… https://patents.google.com/patent/US4926834A/en I still posess the prototype, albeit a bit damaged now.
minus-squareStamau123@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up7·1 day agothat’s cool. Seems a bit ‘busy’ for something that should be foldable
minus-squareover_clox@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up14·edit-21 day agoHonestly it is a bit busy, like feature creep. The lower stock and left bow are unfortunately now broken, but I want to do my best to restore it eventually. I’ve already collected feathers and a new rifle scope, I just need an antique Volkswagen leaf spring… Yeah you think this is a witch stew, but it isn’t. These are the parts I need to properly fix my dad’s invention.
