Crossbow (my first instructable!)

Hi everybody! Welcome to my first instructable! Today we'll be building a cheap, easy and oh so POWERFUL hand-held crossbow. I apologise in advance if you find the pictures a bit poor but my lil sister is away on a school trip and took my 7.1 megapixel camera with her. In my future projects I will
use it to provide y'all with hi-res pics of the project. I hope I make a good first impression... here goes:

Step 1 What you'll need

Nothing special, really.
-A lot of kebap skewers
-A lot of rubber bands
-Cutters
-1x thin walled metal tube thingy appox 0.5 cm in diameter (I used an old rc antenna shaft)
-Adhesive tape(optional)
-A file(I used 3 of them)(optional)
-Sandpaper(optional)
-You might also need some carpentry glue(optional)

Well, im totally new to this site and i have to say this is the first thing i actually consider building. I think some better images and maybe instructionns :) would have helped me understand the handle part. I will probably try this on the weekend. Make sure to add more pics if possible. Ty for your awesomeness.
