Looking for a truly unique gift idea? Step back in time with the Medieval Crossbow Making Three Day Class, an unforgettable experience led by Master Blacksmith William Holland. Whether you're buying for a history buff, a lover of traditional crafts, or someone who just loves trying something totally different, this is the kind of gift that won’t be forgotten.
This epic three-day course combines blacksmithing and woodworking in the most hands-on way possible. Under expert tuition, participants will learn the full process of making a fully functional medieval crossbow from scratch and take it home at the end.
Across the three days, the class is broken into key stages including forging the prod (the bow itself), heat treating the metal, carving and shaping the wooden stock, designing and crafting a working trigger, and even making arrow heads and string. Every step is taught clearly, with plenty of one-on-one guidance, so you don’t just learn the theory, you do it all yourself.
This experience is open to anyone aged 18 and over, with no prior experience needed. All tools, safety equipment and materials are provided, just bring curiosity and a willingness to get stuck in. It’s a great gift idea for Christmas, birthdays, Father’s Day, or just as a treat for someone who loves a proper hands-on challenge.
By the end of the course, you’ll walk away with not only a finished, working crossbow, but also a new set of skills and an incredible story to tell.
