How to Make a Batch of DIY Arrowheads

[@JedidiahShultzIrishCraftsman]

Fantastic work Alex!! I definitely learned very quick how fast that tip can overheat! I can’t imagine the time invested however, it shows and they look great!!😊👊

[@LetsPrepTogether]

Jedidiah Shultz Irish Craftsman Thank you very much Jed! Yes at times I had to ask myself if it was worth it as I could have made three videos in that time, but in the end I like to finish what I start. 😀

[@JedidiahShultzIrishCraftsman]

Alex 2Q you’re very welcome and absolutely! Everything is a learning experience even in patience 😁

[@donalddicorcia2433]

With the thinner steel, I find a single bevel, chisel grind edge works well. Take your arrow’s rotation into consideration when choosing which edge to grind.

[@jtc1947]

GREAT WORK! Glad that You ALSO showed about hafting the points to the wooden shafts!

[@LetsPrepTogether]

Thanks a lot

[@jimbojet8728]

A lot of effort went into making these arrowheads, it’s been an interesting vid. Thank you.

[@LetsPrepTogether]

Thanks a lot!

[@ragtie6177]

Phenomenal craftsmanship. Loved this video man. Great work

[@LetsPrepTogether]

Thank very much! It really means a lot to get such great feedback!

[@haydenemms6300]

Finally! A blowgun broadhead made not using superglue and credit card! Well done Mate! Keep up the good work

[@LetsPrepTogether]

Cheers mate

[@connorwalton7739]

They look really nice good job

[@geoffmatthias3992]

Great video Alex a friend of mine who owns a foundry cast my broad heads I have 250 of them it takes time making arrows done 130 so far They are wicked.

[@LetsPrepTogether]

Thanks a lot Geoff!

[@markhall128]

Nice job, then are some wicked looking broadheads, I have made some similar to your and have taken game with them. Again great job.

[@LetsPrepTogether]

Thanks a lot!

[@fadzerhamm.f5036]

Awesome craftsmanship ! I never thought it would look that good honestly, but hey, I think I might be able to make a dozen with my smaller old saw, thanks for the video man.

[@LetsPrepTogether]

Many thanks! Good luck and lots of fun for your own project and I hope you share what come up with!

[@danthemakerman]

I enjoyed the voice over, well done. Also your skill on the bench grinder is impressive.

[@LetsPrepTogether]

Thanks a lot Dan that is much appreciated!

[@mgrdigimarketing3035]

Very useful video mate. The nut on your clamp is vibrating loose as you use angle grinder hey. I suggest nylock or second nut

[@LetsPrepTogether]

Thanks a lot mate! I did notice that as well during editing and replaced the nut with a nylock after that. Cheers

[@charlesdenman9052]

Well done. Enjoyed it.

[@LetsPrepTogether]

Thanks a lot!

[@kjellski]

Jipieeee!!! Long in the making, but it's great to have a video from you for sure! Glad you're back and glad you're making again! Keep going man, great work!

[@LetsPrepTogether]

Kjellski Thanks a lot Kjell! It feels great to be back especially with all the great feedback so far.

[@BillSinWorkshop]

Glad to see you back man...Cool project and love the result!!!

[@LetsPrepTogether]

Thanks a lot Bill, it's great to be back!

[@MrGeoffreySmith]

Nice one, Alex! You got a fair amount from that saw blade as well 😀

[@LetsPrepTogether]

Thanks a lot mate! Yes I did, although I think I could have gotten more out of it and already saw other stuff on Instructables that would have been great with that material.

[@Toys0714]

Nice and simple. I like it.

[@anthonyfeatherstone7696]

Love the simplicity good stuff

[@LetsPrepTogether]

thank you!

[@LaserLivestream]

Great video. Inspirational. How would you have transferred the arrowhead shape to the metal differently?

[@LetsPrepTogether]

Thanks a lot Gil! I think next time I would make a sample from aluminum and use that to properly trace the outlines on dye cam.

[@delljohnson172]

Id use the saw teeth points as my arrow head points might need a slight angle adjustment or not. You could curve the side about half the length of point back in making a nice slight curve.

[@LetsPrepTogether]

Thanks that's a cool idea

[@killmimes]

There is a metal working shop near by me...and sometimes the throw out old bi metal band saw blades...excellent thickness and width for arrow heads

[@LetsPrepTogether]

Yeah interesting material to try

[@feralgrandad4429]

Definitely going to try this. Thanks for the inspiration. Subscribing was easy decision.

[@LetsPrepTogether]

Thanks a lot!

[@redtobertshateshandles]

Stencil is a great idea. First you do, then do it better. If you try for perfection first time it all gets too hard.

[@vincetanner2155]

Nice work as always Alex :)

[@LetsPrepTogether]

Thanks a lot Vince!

[@CreativeRedundancy]

Awesome :D DIY !!!! all the best from C.R.

[@LetsPrepTogether]

Creative Redundancy Thanks a lot that is very kind of you!

[@austinwheeler3679]

Very nice, I make my own arrows as well I can definitely relate to the time consuming factor lol

[@LetsPrepTogether]

:D Thanks a lot! Well I have enough to last me for a while now :D

[@technocraftSTUDIO]

Is there other cheap material to make arrow head, also easy to make without power tools!

[@LetsPrepTogether]

It really depends, since the blades are not used daily you can use pretty much any hard and stiff material. That would then allow you to omit the power tools.

[@michaelconstantine5149]

Really nice

[@LetsPrepTogether]

Thanks

[@fredfredricks4691]

Great video.Thanks for making and sharing.New subscriber!

[@LetsPrepTogether]

Thank you!

[@mihumus]

Fantastic job man, nice video!

[@LetsPrepTogether]

Thanks a lot!

[@SharpWorks]

Awesome work! How long did all those arrowheads take to cut out and profile?

[@LetsPrepTogether]

Thanks a lot! At least for the rough shaping I had the process down to under three minutes per arrowhead. The entire project took several weeks as I had to work on it few hours at a time.

[@Bacon_Is_Medicine]

Why didn't you use every other tooth on the saw for the point of each arrowhead?

[@LetsPrepTogether]

I thought about it but my approach was more flexible for the different designs i tried

[@afaithfulman]

How much do they weigh in grains??

[@WaschyNumber1]

Nice 👍🖖

Vielen Dank Lukas, freut mich sehr das es dir gefallen hat!

[@lonniemitchell4182]

When using your grinder the side that has the brand name or logo is the side is suppose to face you. Basically what I'm saying is you have yours on backwards

[@LetsPrepTogether]

Not quite sure what you're referring to?! The small belt sander has one of my stickers on and as for the remaining tools I'm confident that I used them safely and effectively.

[@your0a0asshole]

WELL VERY SKILLFUL HARD WORK. I'd just use soft steel,....and you only have to sharpen 2 edges not 4. And a chisel point is more durable. Look at grizzly broadheads to see what I mean. Soft steel is heavier than light carbon steel. The point is it only has to be sharp when you fire it at a deer. I shoot wood arrows in compound bows,...old 80's bows with a round wheel cams.

[@LetsPrepTogether]

Thank you

Love how most of these comments are fake Good job Alex!! Well played Alex!! Lookin ass

[@schurlisuper3909]

You could have cut twice the amount out of that sawblade.

[@kennethkustren9381]

NEXT TIME ... REMOVE RUST WITH 1/4c BORAX AND AN automotive BATTERY CHARGER. Electrolysis. A sacrificial chunk of steel or iron is required. ELECTROLISIS IS NON-DESTRUCTIVE. RESEARCH ALSO: SUPERTINNING AND ELECTROPLATING. VERY EASY DIY. LEARN SAFETY FIRST !!

[@LetsPrepTogether]

Material removal with a wire brush is minimal. All safety measures necessary were taken. Also research: writing in all caps is perceived as shouting and even if you offer sound advise people will see it negatively.

[@naffancunt8544]

What a waste of a cross cut saw

[@LetsPrepTogether]

Thanks for watching anyways.

[@bezimiennybohater5242]

You wasted saw because you can make sword from this saw. I made arrow heads from bullets of ak47

[@LetsPrepTogether]

The material would be too thin for a sword. Field tips from rifle projectles however is a neat idea

[@bezimiennybohater5242]

@@LetsPrepTogether I made scimitar from old saw

[@LetsPrepTogether]

Hm how thick was the steel stock? The saw i used here was only 1.2mm thick which would be too thin for any longer blade
