Really cool overview of bow properties. Jack was a great guest. Would love more episodes with special guests who have mastery of historic skills like this!
I second that! Much appreciated
Fully agree here, would love to see more of that!
i know Im asking randomly but does anyone know of a method to log back into an instagram account?
I somehow forgot my login password. I would appreciate any assistance you can give me.
@Jasiah Houston instablaster ;)
Enjoying the show
Good effort to you both, a bit of fine fetelling and your good to go, two nice bow's.
What a cool dude! Great skill to have in these modern times
That guy was awesome! Some great information!
Great episode. Very cool.
This was such an awesome learning experience! Awesome stuff guys
Well done guys and good work Jack, I have a yew long bow but I've not made one since childhood efforts from hazel. Think I know why I've been sharpening that axe now.
Im making a coumpound bow with springs it improves to watch this
Haha you guys were abit savage :) Your guest could've needed some social care here and there ^^ you two mostly remained silent alot during his explaination, but i know when you explain something you care alot about to strangers, it's ALOT easier when they make you feel comfortable with small talk and such :) The master bowyer really knows his subject, and he was stressed because it's a life activity for him.
Sorry if i'am abit straight on point in my comment, but im sure the behind the scenes were alot more about making him feel nice than it looks^^ and im also french so it explains my shit attitude ahah
and Jack's son climbing over the roundhouse was just the best thing to catch on camera ! ;)
looking forward for the next video! please don't ban me for my comments XD big love you guys are top!
No worries there, they were both very accommodating.
Is the roof done yet?
Grāfs vai firsts!
Nice video! Really enjoyed this. Guy seems to know his stuff, I learned, too!
I'm Alone 😍😥
Jack has a very calm and entertaining manner, explaining the basics of archery very well. it’s nice to have a special guest over once in a while, nice video guys!
I don’t know why but “made in Mongolia, probably by Mongolians” cracked me up
first like, first comment, first to have his Friday improved.
No i was haha
You know what’s weird, I saw this a few days ago and its telling me it came out 23 hours ago. TH-cam needs to stop messing with algorithms for political reasons. I’m not getting any new( even though it says it is) or relevant suggested videos.
The bloke clearly knows his stuff, great to see people still carrying on the old ways
Arrw-boy! Free child labour!
Don't shoot Jager.
It’s amazing to think making a bow as just cutting a piece of wood but as most things, it’s WAAYYY more complicated
To be fairly honest I dont understand why they dont have more subscribers. Love the content, been watching since this summer. I understand you guys are busy but one day you guys should make a wagon/carriage for a other big project to fit with the time era
A shave horse and a draw knife makes the work much easier and many times faster. You guys should have a shave horse there on the site as that is old school technology and is useful for making table legs, chair legs, tool handles and a whole lot of other things. Shave horse.......google it.
Well, part of the challenge was not using any specialized tools.
Or a shaving break: even more simplistic, but very useful for longer work pieces like longbows.
Someone once said: If I have four hours to cut down a tree I'll spend the first three sharpening the axe. A shave horse is a very old tool used in many civilizations. You could have built one easily in half the time you spent on the bow. I get it though, you want to build a bow with an axe and a knife. Enjoyed the video. I have built a number of self bows myself out of birch and build flat style bows. I now use a shave horse and it makes it so much easier and the finish produce better.
nice job guys, always a pleasure watching your videos
the child zooming blurily across the screen for 3 whole frames
Still loving you guys
This was so rad.
Should do a challenge whoever wins who has the best bowl.. it's the pick five items for the other one and he has to do a 48-hour challenge at the spot you pick for him 😉. Has to hunt with his bow or fish with his boat to catch dinner....👍👍
Interesting video 😋
Ya buddy!
Thanks lads, that was a fantastic viewing.... Keep up the good work.
That was so good, what a really interesting man, i learned so much in that little time and was the most interesting thing i've seen for weeks, i had no idea there was so much to learn, it's piqued my interest. Well done Julius for getting slightly ahead of Dylan but with a tweak i think you both have made fantastic bows, i cant wait until the next installment :D
Glad you liked it! Thanks!
Great stuff guys! Nice break from the round house
That dog is really lucky
Absolutely superb video folks! It was very interesting listening to someone who really knows what they're talking about, not that you guys aren't great to listen to though!
Keep up the awesome work and lastly, stay smooth ✌️
Dude 11:19 I thought it snapped!
SMOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOTH gefixed jonge!!!
Another great video, quality content! Looking forward to the shoot off!
One of my favorite videos so far. That gent knows his stuff. Keep it coming guys.
Cheers!
Cheers to you sir!
Sorry for only watching it now I went on a fishing trip this weekend I will watch as normal again
Haha, no problem, even smooth gefixt doesn't always upload in time;)
Now I’m definitely going to TRY to make a bow.
Why is the Irish guy talking with a fake Dutch accent? Sounds like Steve Mclaren doing an interview for FC Twente!!!
the bowyer mentions at 23:21 if you want to make a quick hunting bow that would only last 2 weeks make a "bundle bow". What is a bundle bow? Later he says if you're going to use a draw knife make yourself a shaving break, what's a shaving break?
multiple small stems bound together. 2 the whole length, 2x 2/3 the full length, centred, and then a couple shorter to make the handle. Shaving break is the same a shaving horse - a bench to sit on that has a wooden vice/clamp opperated by the woodworkers foot.
@@frozenthunderbolt1 Thanks!!!
A shaving break is a clamping device for longer work pieces (like a bow) made from three posts driven into the ground, two of which are joined by a couple of angled cross pieces. Better to see a picture really. Easy to make in the woods, though.
👍🏻❤️🇨🇦
So Dylan won? Great job ouwe. not so smooth gefixt on the lighting. got a bit dark at the end i could hardly see what you were saying ;)
Nice episode guys! That dude know his stuff! He was very interresting to listen to too.
Fascinating, nice work!
You can add a small block of wood on the belly by the tips of the bow if the tips of the wood is to narrow and near the back of the bow you can add a 1/2 cm high and 1 cm wide block of wood witch you can shape like the tips
Yes, everybody has carpenters glue in the woods and can layer the wood.
SMH
19 French knights dislike movies about bows?:D
Awesome bit of knowledge that hopefully will never be forgotten #FullDrawFriday
Very interesting . Loved the journey .good job boys .
11:19 my heart skipped a beat i thought the bow had broke 😂
Yes, there was a timely 'crack' there.
Wow, this show is amazing. You should have way more exposure. Love this!
Thanks Iven:)
Its been fun watching you two do this again. I would love to make a bow at some point.
Absolutely love it guys! Keep putting out the great content! Nice to see that your passionate and still trying to innovate in the content your creating!
Nice challenge and good video. You both seem to be in a better frame of mind this time. I hope that is an indication that life has gotten a bit better.
As I thought a good draw knife would be good in making but a good stand that you can work it from as well
Yes Indeed... A Draw Knife. Scrapers and a Shaving (or Stave) Horse is very helpful.
Damn guys ya'll got me lol @ 11:19. I jumped like a kid haha 😄
"TEACHES ALL ABOUT BOW MAKING" ?
Hope the urchin was given a decent mileage allowance
hello boys, great as usual, keep it up.
Very nice, would love to join you guys for a day or two, It'be a great learning experience from you guys. One question do you guys do this in Holland or somewhere else?
Joo, Thanks! Ireland;)
@@SmoothGefixt Top! Thanks, keep up the great work. Love it
True steely eyed archers.
I'd love to see a series of how to make a bow like he did broken up in the single stages of bow making and explaining each part more in depth. That way the knowledge wouldnt be lost and i think there are a lot of guys out there that would love to see that too. Thanks to Julius and Dylan for inviting Jack, it was a really interesting video once again!
Draw weights??
Nice one Jack!
Glad to get a lot of good information on bowmaking, Great video, i really enjoyed it. I, too, would like to see more guest with knowledge of historical processes and skills.
Cool video! Excited to see the arrow making. How many hours did it take you guys to make the bows?
Why is the bow guy standing like the front of a minotaur???
All this talk of blunts and no one is lighting one...
Jk, great video.
That was really interesting. Great video!
This is some amazing knowledge
