I have wanted to make this bow for the last 4 years. Now, this video appeared in front of me. What a treasure. Thank you for laying out a foundation & idea of how to make it. I am going to make this bow this week. I'll be using a normal aluminium tube instead of the leaf spring and I will use spring in place of the two strings. Hope it turns out fine. Wish me luck!
Thanks HARDIK for your comment. I am exited to know that this video is useful to you. There are so many way to make bow. It would be great if you can show us the bow you are making in a video. I really want to see it. I wish you all the best.
If you are successful in making it and if it comes out Strong, will you maybe make one if someone else wants one? For people that can't make one (meaning people that can't do that kind of work)?
Thank for watching and comment. I used vehicle leaf spring buy cutting and grinding them small enough for the bow. I did recorded how I made it, but unfortunately the footage was lost. But there are an easier alternative. In my other video, I made the prod of my medieval crossbow from an old blade of a table planer. It's thin enough, no need much effort for grinding and only need some cutting. You might want to find out in this link: th-cam.com/video/TjtA7U6rJEY/w-d-xo.html
@@nateb4543Thanks for the comment. It's a good idea. I have used some extension spring before in my previous bow made from bicycle wheels. They are not as strong as leaf spring, but we can use it to make good and functional bow. If you haven't seen my other video yet, pls follow this link: th-cam.com/video/PgwCofrNiFM/w-d-xo.html
Thanks bro. In tropical region, unlike in the west, we don’t have a large variety of wood to use to make bow. I wish u all the best with your future bow making 😊
@@backyard.craftsman thank you! I Just found out you can make a bow from the wooden things (slats?) that hold your mattress in your bed. Dont know the Englisch Term ;-).
sorry brother I wish i had them. But only this spec : the riser part is 30cm long, each level part is 24cm, each limb is 36cm, the string is 93cm. I hope this help. :)
That's a very cool lever bow you have great skill. Although are the bike rims really strong enough, would they bend over time and that looked pretty easy to pull for an 80lb bow ?
Thanks Dave for the comment, the lever mechanism that I am using in this bow certainly make them strong enough to pull 80lb. I have been using the bow for a while and haven't notice any bent yet. But I do hope that i ll last very long.
Hi, @Backyard Craftsman. The size details that you gave, have you given the displacement from end to end, or actual length throughout the curvature? Please clarify. Thanks!
Thanks brother for the request, previously I made a video on how to make crossbow arrow. I would use similar way to make the arrows for the bow later. You might want to take a look at the video in this link: th-cam.com/video/j1aVITikxQw/w-d-xo.html
Great idea for bow but in my opinion painted wood as a handle makes your hands dirty I guess. It wouldn’t be better to use flame thrower and later on paint it with transparent spray paint? I don’t know 🤷♂️ just wondering
Thanks Nandu for the question. It took me lots of time and effort to cut and grind it into this small and thin. I initially planned to use them as my pistol crossbow prods but they are too strong so I decided to use it in this bow construction with the lever mechanism instead.
REALLY AWESOME. only the first strings that you tie on to the bow. not he arrow firing string. should have tied the knots on the inside of the wheel parts instead of outside for all to see and it's not exactly 80 lbs. but it's still fucking awesome!
Thanks for the question. I bought the string made by Geologic at local Decathlon shop. You might want to refer to this link : www.geologic-precision.co.uk/fast-flight-archery-bowstring-id_8390042
Thanks brother for your comment. I can provide you the following measurement : the riser part is 30cm long, each level part is 24cm(leafspring and PVC), each limb is 36cm, the string is 93cm. I hope this help. :)
I am sorry that there's no available template. I was just try to improvise and use what i had to build the bow, so didn't draw a plan. But I can provide you the following measurement : the riser part is 30cm long, each level part is 24cm, each limb is 36cm, the string is 93cm. I hope this help. :)
@@backyard.craftsman Congratulations on the beautiful bow! I also had doubts about the measurements but your explanation helped me to understand better but I still have 2 questions that if you can answer, I appreciate it. 1- Are the approximate measurements you commented on in a straight line from one end of the part to the other or did you measure the curvature from one end to the other? 2- The triangles, with what measurement (even approximately?)
next time you should be more specific and make a list of needed materials please i am really struggling over here because i dont know what types of metal some parts need to be or what kind of string you used. maybe tell me right now please i have cut all the parts except for the leaf spring parts.

@@zetsuron_g4 thanks bro for liking my bow. I bought the The string from Geologic bow store in my country. You can also order it online. I tied it to the Paracord at both end. You can also use just paracord. The reason I used the string from Geologic bow only because it fit the arrows from the same company.
It's 80lbs, most people don't believe it, i shot an 80lbs bow before, so I trust the scale when I weight it. It doesn't perform as good as other bows with 80lbs, but it's fun to build and shoot one :)
Thanks for liking my bow. Sorry brother, I just made bows as a hobby. But you can buy real Oneida bows on ebay. I've heard that it's no longer as expansive as it used to be.
Why do the arrows come out so slowly? 80lbs should be allot faster. That functionality is like a 25-30lbs traditional bow. Maybe all the additional weight is the the Enemy of speed

For a bow with such a short draw its got some serious power. Itd be really good for hunting at far range
