Did you make the g10 with fibre glass cloth?

Prueba cortar con disco diamantado se utiliza para cortar cerámicas para piso

Good Advice!

Awesome build

Thank you

I was completely unfamiliar with G10 before watching your video, and I was very impressed with its density and strength--until about the five-minute mark in the footage. Here, you have little or no difficulty peeling off partially damaged layers by hand! Doesn't this strongly suggest that the bond between the multiple layers of fiberglass and epoxy in the G10 laminate is quite weak, with little shear strength? I'm NOT an engineer but wouldn't a riser built with G10 be prone to fracture and delamination? I'm probably missing something and hope you'll correct me. Best, Chris

Great video my friend 🏹

Are you sailing into the future or are you static and only the time is moving? I feel like a Stalker so i can't leave a comment.

Great video! Nice to hear your voice!

So the whole riser is made with g10? It was a little hard to tell from the video how it was put together

@Helmbowman: Interesting, but a bit confusing- would you mind adding a bit of details on the PVC, may be demonstrating how well it bends before glueing it, sharing also the cross section ? So if this was an uniform material with no direction/grain, then it should have an tensile strength of 3.5MPa to 75MPa- that's a very big range from very weak to average, so it really makes a difference what exact product you are using. As comparison, most average woods are between 50MPa and 100MPa I have seen so far. But I know of PVC only bows, just never seen any chrono measurement, so I don't know if there's may be flavours of PVC around with a good performance. I doubt it a bit, if it's not specially treated. Also the MDF wood layer on top probably cost some performance- why exactly was this added ? Can PVC rip under tear? difficult to believe. However, I liked the bow shape a lot, this is a triangular bow, no ? very elegant curves, probably good performance. best regards

Nice Job !

Talvez você possa fazer fibras de bambu para esse seu projeto e usar outro tipo de cola Tek Bond 3 e depois enrolar um outro tipo de fibra principalmente nas juntas de seu arco

El árbol que mostró con esas frutas chiquitas es árbol de mora sirve para hacer arcos esa madera 🏹👍

Wonderful build my friend 🏹

Great looking bow and Mulberries too!

Another excellent build. I liked the Ballsy it's too light let me just cut 18cm off....😮. Does the pvc stay glued on? What epoxy did you use for that?

What's the arrow speed?

Gratula! Nagyon jó videókat csinalsz! Üdv ausztriábol🙂

Is this bow covered with the leather? The hot water don't softens up a glue??

No comment!

Rhino will stand no chance!!!

Stop making bows, go to hunting, make some meat ❤

You are so skillful, the bow is very beautiful and meticulous

Video sucked!

IF our forefathers had access to epoxy matrix fiberglass they wouldnt of bothered with horn and sinut............ Nice work bro keep em coming and blessings from England

That's so weird i posted saying in done with my project and put a video up and it got deleted. Anyway the link looks like it's still there😮 weird

Thanks mate

You are the Best

So cool 👍

That's crazy good craftsmanship

I would like one...👍🏻😅

Thank you.

Excelente arco para la caza aquí muy caro los materiales para hacer un arco así por eso no puedo hacer uno para mí

This looks like supreme durability man! I have to get up to 3rivers archery and get some glass so i can try to copy one of these magnificent beasts you make. Most badassed takedown shortbows in the world right now imo man. Massive respect for sharing your art bro!

Very interesting test. I build a similar fiberglass bow last year. It too performs well. Great experiment. 👍

👍🚩

Thanks for trying with a natural fiber 😃!I read in this paper, hemp and epoxy don‘t fusion very well and a „ compatibilizer“ helps for that. In this study they had some improvement with lignin: google „Use of lignin as a compatibiliser in hemp/epoxy composites“ Benjamin M. Wood, Stuart R. Coles The weather sucks allover europe. Time for spring to come! By the way found a good paper giving overview of biocomposites using wool/keratin. Google „Keratin Based Thermoplastic Biocomposites: A Review“ Shavandi is the author. And the problem of fusing natural fiber and plastic often requires such „compatibilizer“. The simplest are just acids, grinding up the surface of tge fibers, but it‘s tricky-some require tge right temperature/volume/plastic to work, did not find yet the go-to solution Someone mentioned wood glue, that works well with natural fibers, just the overall tensile strength is lower than with epoxy, your bow was pretty thick and strong bending, probably have to lower expectations then.

Hemp can work as a backing. I backed a few bows with it ,using ordinaire white woodglue. The result is a higher lb and a ferm backing.

Я пробовал клеить Лён, у меня не ломался лук, тилер плохой значит... Так же клеил в ряд льняную верёвку, тоже хорошо держит 😊

Oops exploding bow😮

Another way to backing a bow… not the best as you prove. Thanks for this experiment.

That hemp looked difficult to work with

You are prolific. I'm still working on my testing jig. Making progress but had to cut it apart because errors. Getting close to finishing.

I was thinking about this the other day at the hardware store Great job!

I've watched this video twice now and I'm blown away that you were able to make such a short takedown. It's a shame we live on opposite sides of the world as I would love to see and handle that bow in person. I wouldn't be able to handle that much draw weight though as I'm an old fart now! Maybe try making a short one piece next? Anyway great job!

Drawl weight?

Thank you very helpful, couldnt think about this method.

Today i broke a bow/string/tips caused by low arrowwight fastflight and too much power - are you not afraight ? Take care man i want to See your next bow too!

good bow for hunting horse ride
