Truly amazing work, been watching some of the Indonesia bowyers, they make it look so simple. I love the turkish, korean and asiatic bow designs. Your work is a kind of mix of styles, with takedown, impressive talent man!

[@Helmbowman]

Yeah, it is amazing technique, allows for making a variety of bow shapes… Thanks a lot friend!

Saw the thumbnail and thought "this video is about some creature I've never seen before."

[@Helmbowman]

Hahahah it look like that 🤣

[@joedaniels4646]

You build awesome short bows ... But just to high poundage for my bad elbows and shoulders! Love your videos brother ... may God continue to bless you!

[@Helmbowman]

Thanks a lot Joe! God bless!

Hola quedo muy bueno el arco buen trabajo 🏹👍

[@Helmbowman]

Thanks brother!

[@benpriestman4015]

very nice work bro. You did well to drop poundage too. That 6mm EFG is no joke and carries loads of power.

[@Helmbowman]

Thanks a lot! 6mm is real powerhouse 😅

[@benpriestman4015]

@@Helmbowman I can make 70lb bow with 4mm efg but this is using extra long Siyah Manchu style . Keep your works coming. So cool to see the boundaries you push with your builds!!!

[@Helmbowman]

@@benpriestman4015 Nice, you should make a video when you have time! Thank you 😁

[@backyard.craftsman]

Now I am excited. Not sure if this is my bow but, mine is probably next.

[@Helmbowman]

Thanks! Yours next! 💪🏻😁

[@UncleDanBand64]

@@Helmbowman Man, I am really excited. That looked like a great little bow too.

[@Helmbowman]

@UncleDanBand64 thanks a lot Dan!

[@Helmbowman]

Thanks a lot! It has Orc vibes Indeed 😂

[@muhammadalfathin1523]

Did you learn that from some Indonesian bowyer? The result is great

[@Helmbowman]

Thanks! Yes, i did watch videos from Indonesian bowyers about this technique

[@12clr12]

EXCELLENT as always! That one will put an arrow through a Deers heart.

[@Helmbowman]

@@12clr12 thanks a lot! 🙏🙏🙏

[@Patshes]

Would love a bow like this. 🆒😎🤘. Though not clear where you got the takedown system from or how you made it . The rest is very explained very well .

[@Helmbowman]

Thanks a lot! 💪🏻 Sorry i forgot to put video link for takedown, now i have put it into the description

[@Patshes]

@@Helmbowman thank you🤘

[@jarchdm]

There's a trick to get the glue all the way into the beginning of the split you stuff in the glue like you did then l use flat type locking clamps /pliers to squeeze the glue in starting from the outside working inwards. This will gradually press the glue all the way into the beginning of the split

[@Helmbowman]

I saw video of that few days ago, it was Indonesian bowyer, its really good trick, i will start implementing it, thanks friend 😃

[@jarchdm]

@@Helmbowman yep that's where I got it from I prefer to use wider flatter locking pliers thinking that the ones her used might damage the fibre glass. Although that stuff is tough. When you started with 6mm and said 50 lbs I was thinking uh oh it's going to be way heavier than that. I made some 50 lbs bows with 5mm add they are longer than this one.

[@Helmbowman]

@jarchdm Yeah, my plan was to start with 6 an taper it to about 5, i thought because of deflex it will be weaker, but as it turns out not so much 😅

[@jarchdm]

I'm really glad you have managed to start a side business with the bow making. Good for you. Just made my first successful (so far) two piece takedown. When I pretty it up a bit I'll try to make a video. I know I'm really crap at that part. I did use a unique technique to make it. I've never seen anyone use it before so that might be interesting I actually filmed part of that.

[@Helmbowman]

@jarchdm Thanks a lot for supporting me! Wow, im really interested to see that, looking forward to the video 😀

[@matthewyu3531]

It's fantastic, brother! I like these light green fiberglass strips very much(I don't like the black ones). Where did you buy them? Did you buy them on AliExpress? What Search-Keyword did you use to find these light green fiberglass strips on AliExpress? Thank you very much!

[@Helmbowman]

@@matthewyu3531 thanks a lot bro! The green stuff is way better than black cause they use epoxy in green and polyester resin in black. I will now put the link from aliexpress in this video description because its somewhat hard to find in aliexpress search

[@matthewyu3531]

Thank you very much.
