Good old days in the Woods! - BOW & ARROW MAKING (+ Roundhouse Update)

[@SmoothGefixt]

Whazupp folkss! Good to bring you guys up-to-date on the roundhouse around 16:00 into the video. Unfortunately no uploads next week, will be on a Survival adventure and need some time to change some things up in the process of making these videos. Enjoy!

[@agunemnon]

Thanks guys nice work, great to see how well you handled that bow break! That's the point at which I generally start crying and give up rather than gearing up to a re-design- and that's probably why I'm drinking scotch watching, while you're breathing wood smoke and making great content. If bone or antler arrow heads were made from material sourced at your nearest pet store rather than foraged no one would think any less of the skill demonstrated. Good luck with the challenge and look forward to seeing you in a couple of weeks.

[@ericwilliams1659]

Sorry if we get impatient. Thank you for the update and future goals/plans about the round house.

Looking forward to more smooth videos. Thanks.

Bow makin is a lotof fun. Keep it wild guys and wild and free.

Main message..THROW THE DARN STICK WILL YA???!!!!

[@someting9205]

Haha, that's an attention seeker.

[@joi777]

Aaawww, the cute little dog wants you to throw the stick, I would never been able to resist that. Good job keeping focused!

[@derrickjones01]

Love that dogs persistence. LOL!

[@experimentalsurvival7142]

Julius that bow is bloody awesome!

[@bjerm6026]

A little tip on the fletchings, if you coat the shaft with your pine resin mix, then tie the feathers down. After the feathers are bound you can heat the shaft, the resin will reflow and encase the quills and thread. At least that's what i've done with excellent results using mix of pine resin and beeswax. Your results may vary

[@jacobbroe5279]

Calm and relaxing viewing. Nothing better.

[@retobuhrer9731]

You guys are really comedians bushcrafter! Greets from Zürich.

Made my bow today from Ash tree. Keep it up guys. Watching very once a week. Mostly in the forest aswell. Using the internet mainoy to watch you guys.

[@sierrahun1]

Thank you for this beautiful video. Wonderful pictures, small details, high video skills, awesome content.

[@theun4giv3n]

Brilliant series. Sad times for Dylan!

[@TheProdigyEH]

Throw the stick next time pls 😢

[@zeegh5867]

Thanks friends for making it real

[@xaraxania]

Julius what about making your knife hot and use it like a solder iron to help keep the pine glue soft?

[@BoarhideGaming]

That would probably ruin the heat treating of the blade...

[@bushbladesnbows.2378]

Yea that would work with an iron knife but with tempered heat treated steel it would not. The knife would soften up afterward.

[@gizmoteknodekker7060]

Enjoy your adventure! Can't wait to see the changes you make.

[@ArielleViking]

Beautiful bow stringing. Thankyou for giving an update on the roundhouse roof. 👍

Great to see you lads working hard on your bows. Felt bad for Dylan when that set back occurred. Looking forward to finally seeing that roof up and God's sake throw the stick. Cheers!

[@CraftBeerTheory]

I'd love to see you guys build a rustic bridge over the stream. You cross it so often, so why not make it eaiser?

[@FionnghulaThell]

They'de be making a village!

[@gianjcoetzee]

Never dryfire a bow, it's how they're most likely to break

[@barnybudin8728]

Hi..I am from Malaysia..would like to suggest that a wood roofing..small square wood like stacked would be more convenient as you have wood all around you and all years around available..keep you dry n more projects can be achieve asap..can change the roofing when other resources available... Hope to be some help..awesome job on survival all of you!!!

[@darthplagueis13]

If you want a rough idea on how a trigger system for a crossbow should look, I'd recommend a video by Tod's Workshop called "Dark Ages Crossbow - Full making process". It is not a tutorial per se, but it does show you how those things work and how they are made. Additionally, the crossbow in Tod's video is based on a very early design, meaning it's completely made of wood (apart from the string, obviously) and it should be achievable with quite simple tools and without requiring nails or screws or anything of the likes. Of course it's not gonna be particularily powerful since crossbows have a rather short drawlength and much higher drawweights as compared to bows, meaning your 75 kg if you manage to achieve them aren't gonna be all that impressive, but as long as you are not planning on upsetting a bunch of armoured men-at-arms it should hold up fairly well.

Hi guys, Whos dog is that? Great little dogs they are, very obedient never need a leash.

[@LonelyManBushcraft]

I had a carving question for you. When you make spoons and other things, do you use green wood or hardened seasoned wood? Love what you guys do and thank you so much!

[@SmoothGefixt]

Greenwood most of the time, especially spoons, just lighter/easier carving. Goodluck!

[@LonelyManBushcraft]

@@SmoothGefixt thank you so much!

[@glennwilliamson7911]

What is the knife 🔪 you are using in the video?

[@jasonpatterson8091]

Sorry Julius, all I can think when I see you drawing a bow is that you've successfully stalked and are about to kill a pumpkin.

[@Iconat20]

Y'all boys best put a roof on that thing fore the winter come.

[@jamesmiddleton6464]

You really need a different glue like hide glue, fish glue or cheese glue. They have some drying time to allow you to work your fletching. Also they withstand the shock of impact and the flex of the arrow much better than pine pitch.

[@jamesmiddleton6464]

@@1DrBar see video on skilcult channel for best explanation I have seen. Essentially it uses the protein in the cheese and the kasin to make the glue.

[@ziploc53]

Awesome

[@MrPeka13]

Yeaaa, I remember each time I broke a bow I made crosbow from it :D and they where eaven better than bow befor

Oh shit it’s the wrong mark, that’s hilarious the real you came out in that one that is all of us

You should spend some time making a mortar & pestle! It would take forever and not make for a very good video but it would be quite useful.

Is it just me or does Julius look like MCA from the Beastie Boys with that hat on? Also, RE: simple crossbow trigger system: kzbin.info/www/bejne/rYjMi6Obo7d6rpo This video should explain a cool simple design used back in the dark ages that could suit your needs, no advanced machining required, basically a simple peg and hand tools should do the job.

[@Ilie1982___]

Like no 2 👍👍

[@netyr4554]

Hope the gardaí don't come after Dylan's crossbow, according to Ireland's draconian legislation those two sticks are an unlicensed restricted firearm. What a joke, one of the many reasons I didn't move to Ireland. Anyway if Dylan can finish it I think he has a good chance of winning, simple crossbows like that can be quite accurate. Look to Southeast Asia for inspiration. Would be a shame to put this much effort in and not have a shoot off. Julius bow and arrows are coming along nicely too.

While I appreciate you both are proficient with knives, cutting with your inner thigh exposed like that is just playing a stupid game where you can only win a stupid prize. However unlikely we know it is that you might get it wrong, there is always the chance it could. Your obviously going to do whatever you do, but I just don't want to see a post where one of you has had an awful accident, that could have been avoided. Aside from that, enjoying the roundhouse content, and looking forward what is next for you two!
