Awesome job Joerg, but now you've really gone and done it. I'm sure there are some corporate board of director people now screaming "No! He reveled the Dyneema secret! Now we have to start using a higher grade material in the construction of our bow strings and that's going to cut our profit margins. We made so much money making inferior bow strings but now people will know how to make better ones and stop buying ours if we don't change." Trust me people, I've worked in the manufacturing sector for over 30 years. This is actually what happens. The old idea of building something to last was suppressed and killed off by corporate greed.

[@MudHut67]

They'll just release new additions of their existing crossbows with the Dyneema under a different name and act like it's some magic space-age technology they invented and charge you 50% extra.

Such a genius, and making this open source as well.

[@severpop8699]

As a professional amateurist archer since the age of 5 I guess, and making my own bows, arrows and crossbows since the age of 7 or so, now that I am 55 years old I can confess to you all that this is the first time I hear about dyneema strings. By the age of 15 the kitchen string (cotton) was already not good enough to me, my weapons started to pull more towards 50 Lbs of force, and I was doubling them, trippling them, than it became bulky... so I used bicycle brakes cable, stainless steel or steel, as I find them in the shops. Done so for decades, the 4 mm and 6 mm brakes cables worked miracles, good in time, holding thousands of shoots before getting damaged, just nasty to splice to form the eyelets, but I got used with the idea and spliced them like a boss for decades. I also learned that if I place inner eyelts metal protections that section can last longer, and if I put arrow/trigger spot protection (like a short tube) to mitigate fricton, the result is longer life. I shall assume Dyneema too, if protected in those 3 points (inner eyelts and trigger/arrow friction point) might last longer too. Besides looks far easier to splice. I am ordering some now, time to go modern.

[@timkoenig4471]

This is HUGE!! something so simple nobody saw before!!! braided vs parallel strands. You have given the archery world most than anybody else in the last 40 years!

[@iJacker]

Crossbow strings generally last 1-2000 shots if they’re made well as I understand… it’s recommended to change every two years regardless. I think repeating crossbows are different- that lower poundage and higher cycle rate of stretching probably suits a braided line better.

[@LordDragox412]

1-2000 shots? Wow, people whose string lasted only 1 shot must've been really pissed they got the short end of the stick then! /s

[@flyfin108]

thats only if you shoot 200-300fps under 170ftp, as soon as you hit 380fps with 200lb limbs, you need to be an expert to get over 1000shots with an high quality string

[@superslyai3675]

As a sailor I know Dyneema since a few years now, we use it as stays to hold really powerful rigs on racing boats. Using it on my pistol crossbow was a no-brainer. I wet sand with 2000 paper my rail and wax it as well as it gives some extra life to the string.

[@Man_fay_the_Bru]

Why not download it then? I download every "how to" I think I might need to use latter. Mostly machining videos in my case, got quite a handy reference library now.

[@derandiheissst]

Hey Joerg, you really had another great idea. If you take a second small piece of the same material for the middle part, the service life can be extended almost indefinitely, you just have to replace the middle part in good time after maybe 250 shots, but that happened quickly with the material... keep it up, Andreas

[@Pystro]

I wonder if you can swap over (from having the loose end of the eye inside the structural strands) to having the structurally loaded middle section inside the loose end... You'd just end up with a few millimeters where the two directions of the rope run side by side, but I guess for most bows/crossbows there should be a point where that doesn't get in the way of anything. As far as I can tell, it should be relatively trivial if you do this extra step on the first loop and then finish the second one as shown. Affixing the loose end of that sleeve section could even be a larger issue. I don't know if you could just use glue... If not, you could always swap them a second time.

[@3dagedesign]

Joerg ,. when you bury the end,. if you taper the end of the string a few cm , by cutting a couple of strands, ...it's much easier to pull it through.

[@MatTAFacT]

[@barretharms655]

I've been using dyneema for my compound bow for years everybody tells me I'm crazy thank you for validating that I am not crazy as I am using every precaution that you are using and one by adding one additional sleeve of dyneema to the center and then serving it into place with a stitch serving not just a regular serving and of course I always verify that I am not splitting any of the threads and I keep the count as clean as possible equal on both sides whenever the dyneema or the serving splits the dyneema. And yes originally I started with parachute string but it was just not quite strong enough to do the job

[@Knight8365]

Thanks for this video Joerg! I have been struggling for some time to thread through braided cord, and your DIY tools may just do the trick! My use for spliced cords is whoopie slings for suspending a hammock while camping; one end is spliced as you show with three or so pass throughs. But the other is only buried through a length of about 15-20cm once. This allows it to slip though when unloaded and the length to be adjusted. I got so frustrated with my attempts to splice I researched kumihimo, a Japanese braiding technique (lots of videos online). While I can achieve the same thing, it takes way longer. It does offer more opportunities tho. Thanks for all your great videos!

[@richardpearson9337]

Check out tacblades KZbin channel on amsteel whoopies

[@7kyro]

Dyneema is amazing in its hollow braid configuration for splices (like Joreg shows), but it is also widely used as a core for many ropes. Many rope companies will use an Aramid outer sheath (like Technora) for abrasion resistance combined with a dyneema core for even more resilience. Technora is another wonder material. Its like Kevlar, but on steroids. It has a much higher melting point and good abrasion resistance, so its great as a outer protective sheath and is almost as strong as SK-75 or 78. Definitely a good one to check out.

[@Slingshotchannel]

The Kanirope guys actually put a coating around each strand before it is woven, which makes it perfect for the task. Abrasion and sunlight is no problem for this rope.

[@Man_fay_the_Bru]

I checked the prices of aramid rope& it’s really expensive & seems to be mostly for climbing gear

[@luvmechanix]

​@@Man_fay_the_Bru doubt that aramid would be used for climbing because it doesn't really stretch and you need that quality in climbing rope to keep it from injuring you if you fall

I have been a fan for a long time. Furthermore, I don't have a crossbow or bow yet, but the problem I have is getting it past my wife 😏. But ever since I saw you showing your Legolas bows, I was hooked. I was thinking, I really hope he gets a patent, and makes millions, he truly deserves it. You have a passion for it, which I respect (I like to tinker too which I tend to do, but with much less success... ahem). Anyways, I wanted to express my appreciation and always look forward to seeing what you're doing next. When I do finally manage to finagle my way into getting a bow or crossbow, it's going to be GOGUN 😉. BTW, cool idea with the replacement string.

You lose more than a millimetre on the bow compared to the nails because the circumference of the arch ends is much bigger. I use dowels , just as easy . For proper strength, feather that tail so theres no weak point, not important on an adder but on stronger arches it might be. Bit of trivia, people say they do something to the bitter end. That trailing rope that is buried is called the bitter end, like many things we say, it came from the navy in old days, like between the devil and the deep blue sea ...but the devil is a whole other story from ships not satan :)

Real 550 cord is probably good enough for a normal bow, and a hell of a lot cheaper than dyneema. Don't just use any random "paracord", buy good stuff with an actual rating online or at a store that specializes in ropes and cordage. You're looking for cord that meets "Military Specification C-5040H". Use some inner strands from a waste piece to do the wrapping at the nocking point.

I doubt the archery community will use that much ...

About 15 years ago, I met a weaponsmith at Cornel University that had made a miniature crossbow (8 inches long w/ a 6 inch armature) that had a 500 pound draw. It needed a screw winch to arm it. It shot toothpick sized steel bolts, that could punch through a quarter inch piece of plywood like it was tissue paper. I bet he'd have loved the weapons you make!

I’d like to see that

Again and again. You just do it so well Joerg.

[@stratometal]

I Just learned something that is super useful! Thanks Joerg! Peace and Love to you and fam!

Am I the only one there's no audio for? Preroll ad had audio...

[@undrachvrsage]

Seems to be fixed* (I changed nothing)

Why so low resolution of the video (360p max)?

[@jimjonjimjonjon]

youtube needs to (re)render the bigger resolutions, will take some time and the moxe pixel version will be here. It only happens to the "early viewers" ;)

Du bist nicht nur mein lieblings Erfinder, du bist auch ein wunderbare Mensch, du hilfst Menschen . Deine Tipps sind extrem wertvoll und ich mag dich sehr Joerg

[@36ydna]

Excellent work! Keep on pushing the boundaries.

[@gravitomagneticpower]

Hmm so no serving? I would be quite nervous that it might tear and break the limbs or slash me to the eye... Have you done some further durability tests without the serving on hi-end compound crossbow?

[@DominicDolan]

Has anyone tried using Kevlar rope as a crossbow string? It should be stronger than Dyneema. A 3.5mm Kevlar rope can hold 800kg

[@trollmcclure1884]

It is kevlar. Dyneema is a trademark. You can even find cheaper non-branded UHMWPE

[@zumbazumba1]

@@trollmcclure1884 Its not kevlar -kevlar is Dupont(company that polluted west virginia river with teflon making chemicals ) trademark for Poly p-phenylene terephthalamide. While dyneema is trademark for ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene. So its not the same .

[@trollmcclure1884]

@@zumbazumba1 indeed not the same thing. However my point is that you dont need Dyneema brand for ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene. It can be Spectra or just UHMWPE

[@louiscannell6274]

3mm Dyneema offcuts rated 900kg that I had used for sails, tested to destruction exceeded 1000kg

[@trollmcclure1884]

@@louiscannell6274 It's actually a pretty bad result. It's a good custom that ropes and climbing equipment usually has to withstand at least 30% more than its rating before failing. It's probably your fault tho. Your test was not standardized. It failed in the knot or on the edge of a carabiner. You need at least a controlled setup like the bench used by HowNOT2.

Superpractical video! Thank you, Joerg!

[@dandeeteeyem2170]

Nice one Joerg! Fantastic idea! Thanks for sharing 💡👍

[@scwfan08]

Anyone else having no sound?

[@moonshotsilver]

String theory 🤣

[@fenriswolf3874]

Thank you once again for sharing another wonderful idea!

[@martindarcy3304]

Very nice Joerg ! I have a slightly different method . For years now I have been serving just the centre section of original string with dynema about 1.5mm thick . Sold for game fishing . All you need is to learn the simple whipping not used for fly tying. Merry Christmas to you my Flower. May you get what you desearve for christmas 😎

[@fudganuld]

why 360p..!!

[@Slingshotchannel]

Because early?

[@dennislock3415]

Great video taught me something actually useful unlike most videos,thank you.

[@DiyEcoProjects]

Well done Jeorg ~ youve single handedly changing archery for a SECOND time! Nice one, big love to you brother

[@geirthieussbimkravahl]

Yay! I now know how to splice a hollow rope for an eyelet😁! Thanks, Joerg! I'm using this technique on my long bows, cross-bows, and bamboo short bows.
