move camera in close
Great job... first time someone put the Old String on the board to show the actual length needed...impressive presentation...!!!👍🤔
What is the "soap" you put on the belt?
Its a rubber belt cleaner, it unclogs the belt so it lasts longer
What jig is that you are using? Is there a layout of it so that I could make one like it?
Thanks for the demo- I just ordered a few of them to be sent over to the states... they will be well used here.
Very good informative video 😎👍🏽.
Your camera angle doesn't allow for a clear view of what you're doing to the shafts.
very pretty
I've bought a template and feathers from you. Before I start my cutting orgy, and just to be certain, which end is the back of the feather? Also, my only criticism of this video, is that it could have done with a close up of the fitting and cutting segment for those of us who are cack-handed numptys!
It seems that your crossbow shoots so fast for such low pounds. Must be the long draw or what i would say is a normal draw length. 👍👍
If you made the prod 150-175 lbs would that affect spanning length, or would it be be he same?
Does this also work with carbon arrows?
Magnificent
Can you explain how the trigger mechanism is fastened? I want to make a crossbow with this pushpin design myself but can't figure out what the best way of fastening is
I was struggling with the same problem. The push pin is my favorite trigger mechanism. It took me awhile to prefect it but once you figure it out it's pretty simple. Good luck to you
Never heard your tiller creak so much! Nice work tho mate 👍🏻
Its a canary ;-)
@@heritagelongbows3548 much easier to get bamboo and ipe than good yew.. nice job👍
I actually winced as that drew down to 31" Nice one Lee :)
What a dog of a machine, the noise would drive me nuts.
I like these pens, but can you not get a quieter motor!?
it was hard to watch... focus!
Very good! Thank you.
A very good looking piece.
Nice job! power tools make quick work of it. What is a170 pound bow used for? Flite shooting?
Yes it could be used for flight but the people I know who shoot 170lb mainly use it for Roving Marks
We add them after varnishing
do you afd your fletchings before or after varnishing?
So I notice that the longbow in the video seems largely rectangular in cross section. To design the bow, are you using the methods and engineering formulas of Paul Klopsteg and Forrest Nagler?
No I don't use formulas I work by eye and touch. I prefer it that way. The cross section is still a little rectangular but only because I have not rounded the belly yet. It will be a "D" section when finished.
Hi I'm part of a medieval reenactment groupe and I'm constructing a crosbow (we're a bow and crosbow company) and I'm a bit stuck on the actual bow part. What kind of wood/how do you shape a wooden bow that doesn't break or lose it's spring? I could really use a tip or two ^^ Thank you!
You can't you would have to unstring it after use the best thing to do is make the bow out of rattan. It's very durable and almost instructable.
Ash is pretty easy wood to work with as well - beautiful. If it’s your first bow I suggest seeing a lot of videos on TH-cam to get the idea
Great looking bow do you sale them if details please
I made mine out of usage orange. Its very beautiful wood
do more vids i love them :)
jack milne I plan on doing more so keep checking back. Let me know if there is anything you want me to post up
Hail Satan!!!
For left-wing feathers, would one then wind the other way?
That's how I do it Lee. I like the trick with paper.
Bullseyearchery Neat tip!
