I cannot stress enough how grateful I am to you that you actually listed all measurements in centimeters. You're the real MVP!
+Dawid Bednorz I have lived in Europe (UK & Switzerland) so I know the importance!!!
haga greetings from swiss then :D
Dawid Bednorz I
well, we englishers appreiciate it
@@ChopWithChris chris that is not how u catch goose lol . Get ur self a slingshot. U are to funny great build
Chris, WOW, My Dad..... when we lived up at Lake Tahoe , he did Bow and arrow making, he did it just like you did in this video, It brings tears to my eyes, I spent quality time with my Dad making Archery equipment. I remember Deer Hunters come to my dad with orders for arrows with their custom Paint Rings ID, so they knew whose arrow was who"s, he made everything,m Bows, Arrows, Quivers, and Arrow Points out of a thin steel, he would cut to shape and then use a sand paper and wet stone to sharpen it. I Lost my Dad last year, I miss him, but I have these memories, thank you for adding to them, Archery making is a Noble Art . OMG that was my job, Collecting pine pitch, I can smell it now !
+Roberto Pechenino Thank you for sharing the memories of your father. It means a lot to me. I'm now wondering how you got all that pine sap off of your fingers? 😄
Chop With Chris MY Dad had this smelly gas stuff that would wipe it off, and my fingers would get raw. Funny you should ask !
+Roberto Pechenino Gas is what I used. I was hoping he had an home recipe that didn't eat my skin.
Chop With Chris I think it was Turpin Tine he used on my hands, I remember after a couple of gatherings, he got me a pair of Canvas gloves to wear when I went to collect with my stick & old paint can, He would heat the pitch up on a camp stove, when the pitch got runny like honey he would pour it through a screen to clean it out then it went into a smaller can like a putty can with a sealing tin lid. When he needed it, he would put the little can on a wire stand with a candle below it and it would get liquid in about 5 minutes, he also used hot glue, I remember when it was done dry & cool, he would put a coat of Varnish on it to seal it off. Hand made by an Artisan is always the best.
Roberto Pechenino can you make a bow and a row for me
I'm supposed to be studying for an exam and somehow I ended up here. Awesome video though!
+RandomGerman I hope it relieves your stress!
60 days to make an a bow and a single arrow and wearing the same shirt and hat... your amazing
+Alex Wei keeps the neighbors away. 😄
This product available in India Yash ya no. I am purchasing this product.
@@ChopWithChris theres more than one type of hickory what type do we use ? there are six major types of carya ,,, shag bark ,,, pignut ,,and pignut but there are a total of 19 species,,, can you help me please i just want to have the best ,,, oh heck maybe ill just go with one of the orange osage ,,, i dont know
@@ChopWithChris oh buy the way one of the best things to make arrow out of are rose bushes ,,,, old large rose bushes they are usually nice and straight and fairly hard
@@lesterclaypool1 Thanks! I literally was chopping down old rose bushes yesterday:)
It makes me happy to see someone so enthusiastic.
looks a lot of work, great job.
+Francis Barnett Thanks
y
+Chop With Chris make a tutorial how to make the arrow head :)
+Chop With Chris i would buy it :)...no siriouse
you really did something inspiring man :)
i really like your style
great video, takes me back, been way too long since I made a bow...
We should do a bow making collaboration some time. I have some nice Osage Orange that should be ready to go this winter.
Here is a better video using only 4 simple hand tools. HOW TO MAKE A BOW WITH SIMPLE TOOLS th-cam.com/video/d5GWpskm_IA/w-d-xo.html
Your a true American Wood Worker! Artfully done. Thanks.
Dicky Fisher Thank you very much!
Dicky Fisher what do the feathers do to the arrow are they necessary
The feathers give it more accuracy when fired
10:00 "Looks like a real bow" ... It IS a real bow. Seriously though, great job. I wish I had the materials to make something that cool.
+Justin McClure Thanks!

dat boi got a whole Home Depot in his basement...Also that basement is huge
+Elijah Stewart More like a whole flea market in my basement.
Chop With Chris That basement is pretty cool, though. You could make anything in there
Nice to watch the build in more detail! Awesome!
+Scrap wood City Glad you enjoyed it.
th-cam.com/video/jOcvkeiBDjQ/w-d-xo.html do like this
Very nicely done,a labor of love for sure.I learned so many places I went wrong when I tried to do this as a 14 year old kid.I may have to revisit my attempts at making one of these.I'm so glad you mentioned wood types and dimensions.Thanks for posting this Chris.It was fascinating like all your projects.
this guy...Chop with Chris is so honest...he tell us what mistake he did which usually a normal maker never tell...maybe they are too cocky...i like ur videos...my pvc bow are just broke up two days ago...😢 im so sad it took 1 day to make it...it work so good...
+Edo De Graal Thanks. I am making a recurve bow soon.
+Chop With Chris im making a longbow from pvc pipe...its the broken one...i already subscribe ur video...i like it, and im waiting for more videos...☺😊
+Edo De Graal Good luck! More videos coming.
+Chop With Chris thanks
This is awesome, keep them coming
+Cynical Inquisition Thanks. Sure will
I really like that you show your mistakes and how you learned from them. Props to you for showing people it's okay to learn from where they went wrong in these kinds of projects!
+CrazyTrain51 Glad you found it helpful. Thanks for the comment.
building a bow is no joke. for a first try the bow came out phenomenally. Great job Chris.
+scyther1 Thank you. It did turn out really well.
hate people who are pathetic at their own lives but try to demoralise people doing great hope to see more videos chris !!
+Animesh Gupta I just ignore them. They are just trying to get a reaction. More videos to come.
You bet!
I cut down trees for the logs,i hunt down crows for the feaders,i stole my mothers shoelaces for the string and i fight sharks for their teeth....this better work...
+Aaron Gore huh?
bruhh😂😂😂
sunslap gaming 👍🏻
Nothing,just joking :3
you chasing the geese was my favorite part! ;) thanks Chris for keeping me luxuriously entertained!
You are most welcome!
honest , humorous video, not everyone would acknowledge their mistakes... great looking bow
Thanks!
Pine pitch.... yeaaaah!! Great bow. Thanks or sharing mate.
+Mr. Martial arts and You are most welcome. I've been reminded that my terminology was wrong. I was using pine sap. Pine Pitch is when you mix charcoal with it.
Wow, that's a lot of work!
+shmuckling Lots of joy too! It was my 1st bow so the next one will be faster.
Nice video please make more videos and they are awesome so please make more videos
Thanks Chris this is about the first vid I've seen where more traditional tools are used in the making, I realise that not many people would have (or even know how to operate) manually powered drills or lathes but its something that would be fairly easy to work around. The main point I am trying to make is that you took the time to show us how it could be made from scratch using simple items you could gather yourself so thanks and come the apocalypse I'm gonna be ready :). Seriously though thanks for your work and effort .
+phallca You are most welcome. Hopefully my crossbow will be done before the Zombies arrive!!😄
Oh my goodness, the humor is great. Especially, the goose feather attempts.
I’m just glad I didn’t fall while I was running with the axe 😄
The phone rings...classic lol
i like your videos, u make them so funny , chop chop cheerio
Thanks!
i have watched a few videos on how to make a bow and arrow and this is by far the most informative. i really like how you show how long it took you to make it. defiantly a good video for someone who has never done this before and isn't very good with measurements.
Thanks. Here’s my newest bow video that u may also find helpful. HOW TO MAKE A BOW WITH SIMPLE TOOLS

ficou muito bom este arco e flecha que vc fez,está de parabéns!!!
Chirs, I really enjoyed watching it. Thnx a lot
and keep uploading good contents.
+Q Lee You are most welcome
That thing is taller then me!! :D
+Sara Åkerlund 😄
good jop μπράβο from Greece........
I love Greece - I've been 4 times!
+Chop With Chris Which type of wood did you use for making the bow?
+Doruk Güntut Morning wood.
Ive been trying to find a good detailed video on how to make one and this is the best one by far! Thanks!
You are most welcome. I have another video on my channel about now making that might be a little netter called HOW TO MAKE A BOW WITH SIMPLE TOOLS
@@ChopWithChris awesome ill have to check it out!
Man I even though it's hand made it still looked better then the ones you can buy at the store because nothing beats a classic wooden bow. Great job I enjoyed this video!
+Kurtis george-wegner Thanks. It was fun to make.
Well done! I love your humor, too :D. Greetings from Croatia.
+Tamara Jančić Thank you!!
man, what a nice dude
Good work Chris! I love your video and encourage you to keep doing what your talents are. You have helped me make things for my family and provide for them. Your regulations of trees people should hear Chris to harvest what is needed. Please never to stop making these videos!
+RoRoJoker Blogs Thanks!! More to come.
Awesome build my friend, Thanks for taking the time to share this with us and going into such great detail we can attempt to make our own if we choose to do so. Thanks again and have a blessed week.
Thanks. I also release a 2nd bow making video that you may want to check out.
This was a really cool and educational video about bow making, and I will definitely give it a shot
+Riley Oconnell Thanks. Let me know if you have any questions.
+Chop With Chris Okay. Just one right now. On some other videos on youtube it says to have some growth rings exposed on the belly of the bow, should I do that
+Riley Oconnell You got me on that one. No idea. In the end you have to take the collective knowledge of us TH-camrs and just give it a try.
+Chop With Chris okay. Thanks
Look at primitive technology's bow making
+Hys game clips That guy is amazing!
Indeed.
You took me back down memory lane..... I owned a wood mixer saw mill........I milled all kinds of logs even some exotic logs.
Did you ever find something inside a log you we not expecting!
Chop With Chris out of all the logs I milled......... Found one snake...........There is lots of black ant & worms.
NICE. this is the most extensive video on TH-cam about making bows
+Liam Maxwell Thanks. I'm working on a crossbow now. Hopefully it will be just as good.
I would love to come to your shop and re-design one. WoW.. It would be the baddest ever created.
+Shawna Ph.D would the design be based on a particular character?
Chop With Chris Yes. It's called the Devilish Dominator. LoL.
+Shawna Ph.D Wicked!
LOL
Good. Work
+lou ann morenzie Thank you. It was a fun project.
That was really informative, I had no idea what tillering was and I didn't know it was important to the overall design. Excellent video!
+Joshua Booth Thanks
I love his work..its really cool..as a kid i wuld say there are a very few men like him who dnt use technology in tools.he uses the old things.he is a emgineer who didnt bunk his classes
Where do you get the arrow head??
+Teresa Morgan I bought it at an antique store. I'd love to find one someday.
OOOOO HE STEALIN'!!! (This is popular in 2k18)
THIS GUY adds some sense of humor in it which makes it entertaining
Thanks!
@@ChopWithChris so you are watching ? you welcome
I appreciate people commenting and try to respond to all of them.
You have a great sense of humor, brother, equaled only by your skill as a craftsman. It's cool to see you learning as you go on this. I don't think anyone expects you to be a master bowyer or fletcher, so don't sweat those negative responses. Very cool.
Thanks!
omg lol. that moment while he took the feather
What would be the best string to use for this?
+Akili KiKi To be honest I looked up on line and called an archery shop who gave me a recommendation.
sausage string works great
You could probably make a bow string out of fishing wire, hemp wick, cotton from clothes (you're gonna have to braid it for extra strength though), leather strips from jackets, linen, animal sinew...etc. Pretty much any material that's strong yet flexible.
No it needs to be the opposite of flexible! The bow does all the flexing. It needs to be strong and unyielding. You can buy a spool of waxed dacron thread on Amazon and learn to weave a bow string. You can use hemp or flax etc.
Bacon string works best, on a serious note, I use kite string as I have loads of it. You have to use what you have at hand
I tries this with my brother and it was incredible , Perfect thanks man !! And awesome videos , thanks again for sharing 👍🏼
+Paradoxe TemporeL You're welcome.
I definitely appreciate your use of hand tools or your projects. Very nice work!
+Josh Denham Thanks
Slow motioned sawing sounded like a racoon.
+Travis Sharon 😄
isnt pine pitch supposed to be carbonized?
hes just using pine sap. hes not cooking it down and adding charcoal and fiberous material...
PS, wrote this halfway thru, guess he figured it out at the end..lol
+Bobbert Bobby Ya - I have much to learn...
no it doesn't many of our ancestors some times used just straight up sap
+Chop With Chris if you come to santa cruz california I will make you a stone age arrow and knife
+Melissa Angulo I was there last year. I drove Rt 1 from San Fran to LA. Looks like paradise!
So much hard work couldn't move on without giving a like
+Parth Joshi (Eradikatorr) Well thank you very much!
"Unless i get arrested of course" haha that made me laugh out loud. Thats a good way of looking at it. Well done man! Awesome looking bow!
Thanks!
You sir are an amazing craftsman. You call yourself a rookie. Your a bloody legend from where I’m standing. Can’t wait to give this a go, however I will be doing it the lazy way with power tools and dowel foe the arrows. Thank you for the great video.
You are most welcome. Here is version 2 - some different and better information. th-cam.com/video/d5GWpskm_IA/w-d-xo.html
At age 68, I've just completed my first bow... 58 " elm, 49# @ 28 ", sinewed and snake backed.
THANKS for this great video which was an easy way to remember what I forgot so quickly once I returned home.
Tradron
Congrats!! It must be beautiful.
your just awesome man the amount of time you took to do this is just amazing
+Darius Dunn Thanks
Extraordinario.
Eres un maestro. Lo de las máquinas manuales genial!
Gracias!
You are a good teacher, thanks for your detailed build along.
Thanks. I just released another bow video that you may also find helpful.
Its about time some one said and followed thru with in detail 👌💯✔
+thatoneguy itspersonel Well thank you very much!
Lots of light humor in this video, love it!
+Benjamin Campos Thanks. I try to add humor but I'm not always successful.
Love it. Very informative, funny, entertaining, and you don't just admitt mistakes, you point them out. Thank you.
+Gehtdi anschasau Thank you. Glad you enjoyed it.
+Chop With Chris I watched the video "Sigma 3 Survival School" made it looked like the handle was 1 1/2 inch wide at the center and then transitioned to 1 inch at the fade?
That is a beautiful bow. I've been building bows for about a year now and stopped about 2 months back. I should really start again.
Yes!
This seems to have taken a lot of work, and it's well presented. I really enjoyed your video - thank you for sharing!
+Rachel Chan You are welcome.
Thank you! ChopWithChris!
+Victør Smit _ You are most welcome
just wanted to say, great job on the bow! you also did very well with the camera angles and video editing as well. keep up the great work as i know it is very fulfilling to make something from scratch to a finished product. :)
+Justin Snow Well thank you very much. Now you need to check out my new crossbow idea to see if I improved.
Wow thanks for a pacy and interesting lesson on archery bow making I watch a lot of footage on archery but that was exceptional , well done mate jv
+John vb Thanks. I've got my eye on some Osage Orange and will try to improve upon this one.
I love all your old tools. What a great collection. I would think the cross-grain mounting of the arrowhead would help to ensure the arrow doesn't split when the arrowhead makes contact with a target despite how securely its mounted. Over time it might slowly work it's way into a split so I can see how the cross-grain mounting would be the recommended procedure.
+Jeff Chartier Thanks. That was a big mistake on my part not going cross grain!
Very comprehensive, and a joy to watch
Thanks.
Love how you are doing the you tube show. Thank you very much.
👍🏻
Great Vid Chris, I loved the humorous bits as well, chasing after the Canada Geese was my fav bit. And learnt a bit as well.
Glad you enjoyed it. Luckily I didn’t fall while I was running with the axe...
i don't get tired of watching this its awesome cx
+Jennifer :3 Thanks. More to come.
Awesome video! Love the detail along with a good mix of a great since if humor! Looking forward to your future projects
+Scott Elliott Thanks
+Chop With Chris np
Great video! It gelded me a lot when I was making my bow so thanks Chris!
+Alex Morgan Great! Let me know if you have any questions.
+Alex Morgan How did you find my video?
it's so good that i have "all" these tools makin' a bow..
+Lehet Aha Start simple
man, I just watch tour video about crafting a bow... you're great man. I loved the fact that you left sequences like the toilet flushing :). I make recipes and video game reviewa on youtube and with a 2 years old boy and a girlfriend in the house while I'm filming, it can truly be a challenge ( and seriously, it's not always the kid who's the most "disturbing" of the 2 lol). Great job dude, good continuation
+michupichu007 Thanks! Wow. You have a noisy house for sure!!! But it's worth it!!
Hi chris im watching your videos since 2017 and i love your videos Thankyou very much for creating this wonderful content.
Thank you!!!!
Awesome video man. i wish you were my father, teaching me cool stuff like making bows and arrows :D
+wahyu perkasa At least you TH-cam videos to guide you!
Just amazing... The effort in this project is massive. Great video. :D
I'm also making a bow out of what my translator says it's called elm tree. Can't wait to finish it. I hope it will be good.
+Jonnah Smith Thanks and good luck. Let me know if you have any questions.
Alright, I came to the point when my bow is nearly finished in shaping. I have a 14mm thickness of the limbs and I'm afraid to flex it, because I need a lot of power to do so. Will it break if I leave the thickness like this? Should I carve some more? 12mm, maybe? What power should I get from it?
Love those leg-powered lathe and bench press of yours. Great job!
+RexRex Thanks. Fun to make and more fun to use!
+Chop With Chris You have some pretty cool stuff in your channel. Keep it up. Liked and subscribed. :)
+RexRex Thanks and more to come.
I really love yer vid sir! Pls continue on making more.
+Silvia Ashvain Sinclaire Thanks. More to come
It may not be perfect, but it's a damn beautiful bow, and certainly one to be proud of.
+Christian Owens Thanks
Chop With Chris I hope that didn't come off as slightly insulting lol
+Christian Owens Not at all. No worries
Thank you Chris ! I am looking forward to making my own bow this summer ! But I think that mine will be more primitive than your hahah. Great job
+oliqc22 Good luck and let me know if you have any questions.
Thanks Cris. I'm working on my first primitive tow and arrow. By the way, Go Irish!!!!!

Love the good natured humour 😊
Thanks!

Thanks!
nice looking bow..i think it's worth the time. if you want your own homemade bow made from scratch..great job amigo.
+P.LOKOE UNO Gracias
Thank you sir. I will be watching your videos over the next few months. We go camping every year as a family totally rustic camping in the woods. Even the wife deals with just a river for a bath for the better part of a week. This year's challenge is make a bow. I was successful in making one before though after I see yours mine just looked like kindling. It was a kid sized bow perfect for my son. I cheated for the wooden arrows and just bought dowels from Walmart. But that year was our year to bring the turkey to thanksgiving. We raised the turkey and I pulled a couple feathers off before butchering and u think super glued them onto the dowel. I didn't know whay else to do so I carved an arrowhead out of wood. I think I made another arrow using a lid from a soup can shaped into an arrowhead.
Anyway!!! I was proud enough to show the guys at camp way back when and adults draw length overstressed the bow and it snapped. We are all doing it this year on our 24hr bushcraft that goes even further into the woods. I can't wait.
That sounds amazing. Have a great time. Here is another video where I used simple tools to make a bow from a scrap pallet. Good luck. th-cam.com/video/d5GWpskm_IA/w-d-xo.html
I like that you admit when you made a mistake and what to do instead. It may not have as strong a pull as you wanted but it sure looks and behaves very welll
Thanks!
I love your foot powered machine!
It’s amazing!!
You are the genius. Luis of Argentina.
A Bears fan and ND Fan, subscribed! Great videos, I've been binge watching a bunch after being directed here by Matt's channel.
+Joe K Cool! Da Bears! Go Irish!
Well done Chris, you just got another sub. Could you make a video with how to do stone arrow heads? Techniques on how to break the stone using a harder stone on a softer one?
+Dragunov121 Endri I need to find someone who can show me and then I will make a video.
Thank you, great work! I like your humor too.
Thanks’
Good Gravy! That bow looks big enough to take down a moose!
+HappyGardener That would have to be a very small moose!
You do amazing work bud!!
Thanks 4 taking the time to not just show how but to also explain why !!
OMG .. Love the lath also!!! So creative !!
You & my grand dad would have got along well!!
Must be the "Irish" blood!!
DEv
Irish no doubt! Thanks. 🍀👍🏻
Thanks for sharing, very useful information and detailed as well. Looks like I need a bit wider piece of hickory than what I've got. I'll try to make it work. One of the kids can have it when I'm finished. Then I will make yet another attempt to make one I can use. Thanks again
Good luck!
