Excellent test video! Thank you for taking the time to produce this. The order in the end results list is what I had expected. Thanks again!

Interesting test, thanks for sharing. If you do a part 2, I recommend adding nylon cloth from old synthetic clothing, and bow string fibres such as dacron, laid out like doing sinew-backing. Cheers, Gus.

I just found your channel and this stuff is awesome. Thanks for sharing these tests and experiments into bow engineering.

Try the cf at 45degrees so it used the strands in both directions.( I learnt that From border bows)

Im using +-45 degree carbon on my recurve bows, it adds ton of stability, i would be interesting to try that on this test, thanks for idea!

Thanks for showing this! If you have any sinew try that and see where it breaks.

Thanks! I will try, that would be interesting!

Fiberglass is surprisingly far down the list of materials for tensile strength - well below flax (linen), it's the epoxy resin that gives it its strength in combination... the denim was pretty interesting, but adding flax to the test group may reveal some exciting results... anyway, I love your content!!! keep it up!!!

@Helmbowman 5 ай бұрын

Thanks a lot! There are much more materials to be tested, flax is definitely one of them, sinew and rawhide would be interesting too… Good luck with your projects!

I would love to see you build super recurve limbs ... They look cool and are supposedly a smooth draw! They would look good on a short riser!

Im interested in super recurves for quite some time, i will try that sooner or later 😅

It was interesting, I suggest you should test some Nylon maybe some ladies tights or similar for a quick test. Nylon rope is very elastic and high stretch for a synthetic material, that might add some speed to a bow without making it stiff and stacking.

That would be interesting, im planning to make part 2 of this video, so any ideas are welcome, thanks for suggestion!

Hey, if back side is very strong then it will apply a lot of pressure to the belly. Since fiberglass and carbonfiber are much more strong and resiliant then wood, I don't think they are good fit to be wooden bow backing without fg\cf belly. Because they can crush the belly fibers of the wood and cause to set, even if it is not apparent because of the fiberglass. I only brought up this topic because I wanted to discuss. I am also just experimenting and not 100% sure.

@Helmbowman 2 ай бұрын

Yes, in theory the fiberglass or carbon backing should overpower the wooden belly causing lot of set, that makes sense to me, but i never experienced that and i made a lot of backed bow so i don’t know if its just a myth of what… If you have some experience with that, please share 😀

@@Helmbowman Yeah it is weird, I just read that on bowyers bible but maybe just as a thin layer it doesn't effect much. I just wanted to hear your experience, I never tried something you haven't, you are like my online bowyer sensei :) Thanks for sharing and experimenting, as always great content.

Puedes laminar los 2 lados y el apoyo debe ser curvo para no tener un filo de quiebre dónde sujetas las laminas con la prensa de mano es solo una opinión mía saludos

You are right, the ideal way would be to tiller the samples like real bows and that test them, next time i will try that. Thanks for watching!

These all broke at a hinge, Could you try it with some tiller?

@Helmbowman 5 ай бұрын

Yes, i would need to do some tillering, just need to make some tapering jig in order to get consistent results

Предпоследний замер фиберглас произведен не совсем правильно. У весов преждевременно сработал стоп контроль, об этом указывает светящаяся лампочка

Yes, unfortunately the scale locked on fiberglass testing

Ist doch logisch das es bricht. Erstmal sind die Holzleisten zu dick und zu kurz als das diese halten würden. Und das völlig egal ob da etwas aufgeleimt ist.
