The Craftsman 318 Spear And Bow

The second part is where it became more difficult and quite dangerous. Daedalus had to seal the hole he had made for the liquid metal, then he had to carefully hammer the rib itself while making sure that everything was properly heated.

As the bone itself was quite strong Daedalus had to put an enormous amount of effort into controling his strength. If he didn't and his hammer even made a crack in the rib, it was likely to explode due to the pressure. the pressure of course was the resistance of the two materials refusing to fuse together, but also what was forcing them to fuse.

it was a long arduous process and after every hit Daedalus had to be prepared for the next ten and also wait for the pressure to even out. If he didn't wait for the pressure to even out then the bone would still explode, only at an even worse effect on the surroundings. If it did explode the shrapnel and molten metal would most likely kill Daedalus.

Luckily after three days of hammering and a lot of stress, the bone took on a metallic sheen and was as thin as though there where no gaps in it any longer. This showed that the bone had been completely fused with the steel.

After that it was a simple matter of extruding out the material into a tip and finis.h.i.+ng it off by sharpening it. This took only half a day as Daedalus had managed to get a very good understanding of the bone-metals properties.

When all of that was done Daedalus began work on the rest of his tools and weapons, as well as his armour. The first thing he worked on after the spear was his bow. Daedalus had actually never made a bone bow, however he had learned how to do so.

So with curiosity filling his mind Daedalus began to work on the bone itself. First he found a suitable bone for the bow itself, then he soaked it in boiling water and waited. Eventually the bone became soft enough to mold, although with great difficulty.

Thus Daedalus moulded the bow into the shape of a semi oval, and after testing the flexibility and finding it satisfactory, began work on the bow string. Daedalus inevitably decided to go with the tendon of a saber toothed cheetah. They where we'll know for there enormous speed, it was only with luck that Daedalus had found a sleeping one and managed to shoot it in the head with his previous bow.

So Daedalus brought the tendon of one of its hind legs and after properly processing the entire thing, and adding a simple grip to both the bow and the bow string, it was done. When he left the cabin to test it out Daedalus was happy to find a iron hide gorilla staring at him.
