	Bolthead making is pretty simple just like making the bolt shafts. You must have some skinned critter parts though. Early on that means boar tusk or cougar claws. Each tusk or claw will make 5 boltheads. So if you want to make 20 bolts all you need is 4 of them. As an example lets say you have 4 boar tusks. Put them in your container. So to manually turn 4 boar tusks into boltheads you do the following steps:		Bolthead making is pretty simple just like making the bolt shafts. You must have some skinned critter parts though.

	Fletching bolts involves making boltheads from critter parts at present and making shafts and then combining them with flights to create a bolt. At some future point we will be able to possibly use bone, metal, and stone to make boltheads, which will expand the types of bolts we can make. This area of the guide will explain the only tools needed to make the items for the bolts and the final product.

	Next you will want to get the proper amount of lumber to use for your project. In the case of the toy crossbow you need 6 pieces of lumber. With your stack of lumber in one hand, and your scissors in the other, you mark the lumber, then cut the lumber with the scissors. You're not actually cutting the wood, but you're cutting the twine used to mark your pieces. The lumber you need to use will be at your feet. Stow the scissors and the other lumber you have in-hand, and pick up the lumber you will use.		Next you will want to get the proper amount of lumber to use for your project.

	At this point in the process you now have to pay attention to the messaging, which is pretty clear on what you need to do. You will switch between your carving knife and your tinkers tools, for much of the project, till you have to add ingredients like adding the mechanisms or the bow string. There are two general messages you will see (The crossbow is ready to have more fine detail carved with a carving knife.) or (Additional adjusting with some tinker's tools is now required.) If you forget what you need to do any any time in this process you can ANALYZE MY CROSSBOW and see a list of 6 messages. The third message will give you the clue as to the next step. Normally on a light toy crossbow you will swap between these messages and on the fifth time you will get a message to add mechanisms. This is true for light crossbows, heavy crossbows, stonebows and the arbelest.

	Mechanism are made from metal, which means you need to smelt nuggets, bars, etc into ingots and refine them to a decent quality. Then you use the presses in the riverhaven or fang cove societies (other societies later) to turn the ingot into mechanisms. For each 5 volume of ingot you end up with 3 mechanisms and it makes them 5 volumes at a time. Each time you use the press you get 3 mechanisms and use up 5 volumes of your ingot. So if you plan to turn a 100 volume ingot into mechanisms you will be doing this 20 times to use up the full ingot.

	The presses themselves can be set to 1 through 12. Each number is actually pretty important to your final outcome and your skill in Engineering determines what numbers you can use and create a masterful, or outstanding mechanism. Anything beyond that is usually dismal and you really dont want to use a dismal mechanism on a project.		The presses themselves can be set to 1 through 12. Each number is actually pretty important to your final outcome and your skill in Engineering determines what numbers you can use and create a masterful, or outstanding mechanism. Anything beyond that is usually dismal and you really dont want to use a dismal mechanism on a project.

	So the first thing you have to do is figure out what kind of mechanism you can create masterfully or outstanding. Note the numbers below are approximate type numbers I don't have enough data at this point to pinpoint the exact numbers. I suspect the 1-100 is actually broken up into a number of quality types but if the workability of the metal is high enough you should get close to masterful.

	The press shuts off fast so you might have to get the shovel out and push fuel again unless you are ready to do these steps quickly. I suggest macros. This will create 3 mechanisms and use up 5 volume of your current ingot. I found if I had macros I could do this two times before it shut off but could rarely finish 3 times.
