I can't believe more than 300 people dislike this. Are they anti-weapon or something dumb like that? Or maybe they just have no joy and were never taught the glory of martial arts and hunting by their father. Pity. These are the BEST videos I've seen on DIY bow making, and I plan to make some of these with my sons, and purchase your tillering and real strings and accessories. Thank you, and a BIG thumbs up from me.

@Magna Carta welllll... I realised that the wood I bought was softwood (rookie mistake) but I shaped and tillered it anyway for the practise. I went back and got some American oak and sapelee mahogany and started again with the oak. I've almost got it tillered but I need to weave another string at about 64" to get the full brace height. Tell you what though, I'm having so much fun with it!! Hope you're keeping well mate👊🏽👊🏽 from Wakefield.

@Marcus 1 holy 💩 that sounds like one hell of a time consumer. But I totally get that it's going to be something like a work of art once it's finished!! The Oak one I finished is about 66" and it's a good size. But I wouldn't mind dropping it down to about 63/64". I definitely need to do a full measure up when I finish work tomorrow, then start planning out the shape. The sapelee is super strong so I might be able to get away with making it a smaller profile all round and keep the strength 🤞🏽

My mom got Covid earlier this month and to keep calm I started watching you. You inspired me to make my own bow and I’m just at the point of just starting to tiller it down. I made an excited mistake of getting pine, but I bought I 1x3 so the extra width will help support along with the rawhide. Thank you for keeping my head up straight, and when life pulled me back, you helped keep me moving forward. I’m now on the process of making two at once (yikes!) and I will do a short video after giving you credit. This morning I lost my mom, so the bows have a completely new meaning to me. ❤️ keep being awesome man, you’re doing great work

I’ve always been into archery but about 5 years back I obsessed over making bows. I borrowed the entire bowyers bible and read them cover to cover about 3 times. I ended up getting some properly aged red oak staves and made 2 custom bows for me and another friend. I backed them with some elk rawhide and added some custom accents to each bow. It’s only about 52 inches long so the draw isn’t too long but the process it took me to make both bows, will stick with me forever. Your videos are definitely fanning the flame. I think it’s time to break out the ole draw knife. Keep up the quality content!

Good Build and Video... Only recommendation I'd make: When Cutting/Filing your Knocks in... Cut/File/Sand in One Direction, From Back to Belly. Especially with Backed Bows. Lift your Saw/File in the Return Stroke... You'll have less chance of Lifting a Splinter or Backing material. On a side note: You should look into Kangaroo Rawhide for Backing material. It's Heavenly!

Hi Kramer, I have a bow very simular to the one you've made, slightly higher powndage but it was my third bow I built, still use it and as you said, it feels very comfortable to me. I have other bows, even expensive ones, but I still love taking my old one I made out for a shoot. It gives you a good sense of satisfaction in the fact your hitting the target with a home made bow costing a few pound, were others are struggling with a bow costing hundreds of pounds. Love the videos, stay safe from UK.

I like your no nosense approach to this subject. its not hard just takes patience to do it well, arrow and spear making is in a lot of ways more difficult. Ive been making bows since 73 my first bow was a black palm bow, I had a great mentor, an employee of my dad, a real sepic warrior. In 79 I learned how to make bamboo japanese bows from my sensei. My first employer, a greek guy taught me turkish skills. Archery has linked me to great people all accross the world , all my life. Ive always built heavy bows 60# + Ive probably made 30 bows since 73, I make them, use them, hunt with them, the last bow I made, and still have is a mongolian style horn bow at 80# I'm old now and enjoying my PSE compound, but I still shoot my horn bow for exercise keep up the great YTs I hope you in spire the next gen. of bowyers I have also developed skills with the sling, boomerang, and woomera. you should play with these, fun times

Bravo! this is a great companion to your previous video for a long bow build from a board. I have attempted a couple of bows and have had issues with proper tillering on both. These additional tips on tillering will be most helpful. for the next try. It occurred to me that when you cut in the arrow rest, if you drilled a hole at the inside corner of the the rest it would accurately locate it and you would have a nicely rounded inside corner on the rest. Thanks again for your "user friendly" videos. They invite folks like me to begin building and have fun doing it.

After 15 years and several major surgeries including a T-4 spinal operation, I decided to get back into archery. I had been using an off brand 70lb compound I bought in 1995, that I couldn’t pull more than 20”. To see what weight would be suitable, I guessed about 40 lbs., I bought a recurve kit off Amazon for $75, that came with 9 aluminum arrows, target, and glove. All the arrows were true, the assembly was a snap, and it shot surprisingly well at 15-20 yards. It’s given me time to reacquire my skills and strength, and opportunity to spend time reviewing what I want to buy in the future.

I want to make a bow, like a serious bow, so I'm wondering if that dog bone was actually a good idea to place on the back of the bow. or if it was more of a joke and something else would be better.

I see so many of these 'creative' type channels where self professed experts show you how to do things, then they go and do something that destroys your faith in them entirely. I will never understand people who cut wood that way, or break any of the grain, or rip their cuts. It drives me nuts.

I just started a red oak bow after ordering the book from Clay Hayes. I learned 10 times as much from your video as I got from his book. I am just at the tillering point so I hope to end up with a good bow. Will be following you closely and will be looking for your tillering tool. Thanks for taking the time to record the long and tedious process of building a bow.

Good video. I've made 20 bows (30-65lb), broke my first 4 allempts about.20yrs ago. Too bad I didn't see this back then.i encourage young guys to make& use them. Most of my relatives have one of mine to shoot targets, carp, deer, pumpkins, etc. it's a good feeling to successfully make your own.

I’ve watched tons of your videos you’ve taught me a lot about making bows. I’ve tried for months tried 8-9 times before I finally had one that I could shoot an arrow with! Takes time to get it right but it’s so worth it!
