I made one with a sewing machine motor with a foot pedal to control the speed, one with one of those variable speed electric screw driver multi tool jobbies and one with a 6 speed Meccano or Lego motor - all controllable speed, easy to make and produced great results - keep up the good work Gents 🙂

Excellent, sounds great, well done. Thanks for the kind words, any likes/comments on a few random vids will help KZbin keep us going, thanks.

We all like watching cresting, it's magical.

[@longbows]

Indeed

[@cherokeesfinestindian]

I never would've thought to make one that turns by hand. What an awesome idea 💡

[@longbows]

Thanks, glad you like it.

Very nice, thank you! I think I have nearly all of those parts in my garage. I really need to do some spring cleaning.

[@longbows]

Thanks, a spring clean is always good!

[@KRayne27]

That is actually pretty ingenious.

[@longbows]

Great, glad to hear it.

[@pipmccann7734]

I might try making one with a foot treadle operation!

[@migalito1955]

Pretty neat fellows. It's on my list of contraptions to eventually make and use. I actually came to your channel by way of typing in, 'take out twist in bow limb.' I typically build the American Flatbow as opposed to the European styles and I recently had a nasty twist that confounded me by its reluctance to leave. It became the perfectly tillered matchstick and obviously I screwed up. Having in retirement turned into an archery fanatic I must say your channel looks very interesting.

Sorry to hear things went wrong, glad you found us, have you seen the website www.howtomakealongbow.co.uk

Made a cresting jig out of some old lego. Works really well.

[@longbows]

Brilliant!!

[@michaelchristensen6884]

What type of paint do you use? A model paint because the pigment is finer than regular household paint?

[@longbows]

I use Humbrol model paints, because they look nice.

[@rikijett310]

That is what is known today as being "cordless". LOL 😂😂👍👍

[@longbows]

Lol, WiFi cresting.

[@gcarson19]

From my experience, a bank is a great place to find a piece of ash...

[@shuggiehamster]

If theres an unemployed hamster in your area, you could consider taking him on to power the jig.

[@longbows]

I will keep a look out.

[@chrisjohnson38]

Please please rig it up with a little dog.

[@longbows]

It would be a bit rough on the pooch.
