Making A 30lb PVC Bow By Hand With Basic Tools - can a Bladesmith make a bow?

So I know that bow making is a bit outside of my wheelhouse but I decided after seeing how easy ‪@BackyardBowyer‬ made it look to try my hand at making a 30lb PVC bow turns out it's just as easy as he made it look. follow along as I make my first bow and test fire it a few times. I will be making a few more as I got a lot more PVC than I needed for this project. check out ‪@BackyardBowyer‬ to see all the crazy and cool designs that he has made.

The backyard bower channel is great he has several books that I own that are building making books too

He's actually the one that inspired me to make them

@@hookersbladesforge I'm working on building a cross build with PVC limbs but a PSE company aluminum riser. I have one limb flattened need to finish the second

@@timothyvolkers5343 I did a PVC crossbow not too long ago it seems to work pretty well. It's a heck of a lot stiffer than I expected. I made short recurved limbs so that might be part of it

Great video, I am impressed with how easy it was to make.

I was too at first. I saw a few other guys talking about how to do it and it seemed easy so I made a few different ones. The 60lb version has fiberglass rods in it and it's more than double the draw weight it was also incredibly simple!

Very nice!

Thanks! It's the first of 4 Bows I made recently I also upgraded my slingshot crossbow into a true crossbow with a PVC limb.
