I just made a recurve riser using all power tools - mad respect for going at it with a knife, rasp and handsaw. I'm sure your muscles ached after that one!
I’ll tell you one thing for a guy with no electric tools you did a wonderful job. Your bow looks like one that you purchased from a sporting good store. Don Powell, Tyler,Texas. USA ACHERY CHAMPION.
Very cool indeed. I've thought about doing that also with an old pair of skis. And for u to make that with only a drill for power tool , and the rest by hand is absolutely awesome. Well done sir.
I've been looking for a good bow build . have made some pvc bows and a leaf spring cross bow .I heard skis where good for a build this is the most informative video I found . thanks
for those that ask whether these are downhill or cross-country skis the easiest way to tell by the width, downhill are wider than cross country and have a lower or shorter tip, the cross country skies have a higher longer tip and on the bottom where the boots strap on the cross-country skis will have a grip pattern for pushing off on the trails where downhill skis will be smooth and rely on less friction
mine (cross country ) have fishscale pattern on bottom, but I won't sacrifice them for a bow. Just found a pair of Rossignols, like new, but really don't need a bow that bad. Make my bows from scratch, my ash, maple, birch , hickory trees from my land. I am very lucky to have plenty of trees. Thanks anyway !
That’s a great bow and video but you used a nice sowbelly knife to remove the metal trim when an old one would have done. Thanks I got the measurements I needed.
Tell you what mate...thats the best ski bow I've seen..done a excellent job there mate.....just one thing im curious about....i haven't seen anyone reduced the ski limbs down,width wise... Will this make them weaker?
You did a superb masterpiece when it was all together! Fckn’ awesome job!, it looks like it would have no problems whatsoever taking down small to midsize insurgents!!LOL💁👍!!!
Crudely made not as well made as weaponizers bow but you made a great bow without the tools that were used on the weaponizer bow. great effort and still deadly. S C UK
Hi sir, ur ski bow looks awesome and I want to make myself one but after cutting off the skis i noticed mine has wood inside the plastic; will wooden skis work too?
I actualy make those and sell them..Each i make is around 45-55 lbs but day ago i made bow 65lbs its so hard . I didnt remove aluminium and actualy it contained some extra in betwen wood so its rlly hard xD. Great job on handle.I keep it very simple.
If you only want to make it funcional, you can probably make it in less than hour. I believe it would still be very powerful bow. 65lbs is quite hard, that's even enough for compound bow.
Thank you, dear professional, a nice job and I strive to do something like it, in sha allah willing. I would like to know the length of the stake in cm. 👍👍👍
Great work sir.youll be a great survivor if SHTF some your whole tool kit will fit in a shoe box😉 what wood is the grip made from..a real craftsman. you make arrows too..
"Published on Nov 24, 2016 I'll put dimensions in next few days, so stay tuned." It's been a year, we're still waiting. It's now the eve of 2019 and we're STILL waiting ...
I also need it, but there are some good designs online. I think that I saw somewhere that his riser is 50cm or something like that. Also you can do your own design if you have experience with this stuff.
I've seen this project done before and I've been told you get much closer to takedown with downhill skis than cross country. I'm assuming that's what you used. My problem is, I'm not a skier. Could someone tell me how to tell downhill from cross country skis? Thank you! Been wanting to do this project for years.
I'm not a skier too, and to be honest I have no idea about types of skis, I just found the cheapest possible on net (for like 5$) and started making it and it turned out very powerful. I'll upload a shooting test in few days
Alan Blair I'm not a skier either but cross country skis are longer...narrow with sharp pointed tips...downhill skis are like the ones he used in this video
be more aware of the material they`r made of rather than the shape, most are apoxy and that`s good stay away from wood skis, some are reinforced with fiberglass so go for those, it should be written on them ;) i`m in the process of making one now, old 2nd hand skis are very cheap and they do nicely
looks good, but i personally would have epoxied the nuts in place then used hex drive bolt to secure the limbs, or epoxy the bolts in place and use some heavy duty wingnuts to be able to tighten a bit more securely. its a little uglier but i think it might be a bit more secure, for peace of mind purposes. i have seen a poorly secured limb snap from a bolt not being tight enough. the user couldn't tighten anymore by hand, and figured it was good. they ended up with a gash on their forehead and a concussion. ouch.
I'll probably change the bolts and fill the hole where nut goes with epoxy or something, and sand it again and then just paint it. But for now it holds pretty good, it seems very tight. Thanks!
You sir are impressive! I love your minimal use of power tools

I'd like to know what the draw weight and letoff is nice piece of work
He used a dremel, but still impressive af
Very cool indeed. I've thought about doing that also with an old pair of skis. And for u to make that with only a drill for power tool , and the rest by hand is absolutely awesome. Well done sir.
Well done I will have to say you certainly put some work in this . And came out great respect
You never stop surprising me! Awesome video and believe me what you did it's an incredible bow!
thanks a lot!
Raduka what is the draw weight?

loved a lot the video and the tutorial .. very nice bow.. well done
This is so impressive! Thank you for sharing this, I'm definitely trying it out 😎👍
Your balcony view looks similar to the view from the cafe in this french village Fousseret not far from here :))
Tell you what mate...thats the best ski bow I've seen..done a excellent job there mate.....just one thing im curious about....i haven't seen anyone reduced the ski limbs down,width wise...
Will this make them weaker?
Dang.... That is impressive! Shit load of work though so I think I will put my old skis in the trash and go and buy a Martin Jaguar takedown.
Those words should be engraved on the tombstone of our civilization.
Fucking honestly

Nice video. How long did the whole thing take?

That is really clever.
Thank you!
Man you got some skils with the wood working :D
You sir have a true gift keep it up
P.S can you make a shooting video with this bow
I'll make a shooting test in couple of days
Awesome stuff dude! But where are those dimensions you’re talking about
Hi sir, ur ski bow looks awesome and I want to make myself one but after cutting off the skis i noticed mine has wood inside the plastic; will wooden skis work too?
One of the best work.....awesome
You need more power tools ... A drill with a grinder attachment just won't do it all . One of the clearest and simple build guides though . Well done
Thanks, I already bought a lot of power tools..
Nice job
I actualy make those and sell them..Each i make is around 45-55 lbs but day ago i made bow 65lbs its so hard . I didnt remove aluminium and actualy it contained some extra in betwen wood so its rlly hard xD. Great job on handle.I keep it very simple.

it's so fantastic!!! I make a crossbow from skiis :)
Nice job man. What kind of primer and paint did you use? Has it cracked from the bending limbs?
Thank you, dear professional, a nice job and I strive to do something like it, in sha allah willing. I would like to know the length of the stake in cm. 👍👍👍
bad to the bone brother ...wow... awesome..
Why did you use that block of 3 layers of wood? is better than just one? I want to make my own riser but i'm not sure about the materials.
Genius man! I got something to do tomorrow...THANKS
VERY IMPRESSIVE! And with almost no power tools. No sockets either, wow! (Narrow and reduce the tips).
Hello
Great work sir.youll be a great survivor if SHTF some your whole tool kit will fit in a shoe box😉 what wood is the grip made from..a real craftsman. you make arrows too..
wha ! super ! can you tell us what kind of material do you used to make the rope bow ?
Bel arco, ma dove si può trovare la sagoma con le misure, per fare impugnatura

5:59 all I could think of was "I'm Batman". Good job though.
Do you have printing template? Pls send me!
!great work man
you should use different paint on wood and on steel spray
It s a very beautiful bow. I want to make one just the same. Can you help me with the pattern for The handle please?
I also need it, but there are some good designs online. I think that I saw somewhere that his riser is 50cm or something like that. Also you can do your own design if you have experience with this stuff.
nicely done :)
But still that very cool
🖒
Thanks!
Where can I get diagrams or dimensions for the handle?
Can I please know the dimensions?? Im trying to make a bow like this one

So I thought that fixing the arms you could give screws from the bottom and end caps and twist nuts or butterflies.
wings nuts = fast take down
This looks like the bow from the show arrow
on what length you have to cut the skis to fit
if only i had the equipment to make one
Nice! How did u do the rope?
What's the draw-weight, and at what draw-length?
HAVE YOU GOT RISER TEMPLATE FOR DOWNLOAD?
How much for it?
I'm going to the flea market !!#
I need template for the handle . . pleaseee !!!
What is the draw weight of that bow?

I don't have any dimensions but if you download it and print on a4 then it should be ok! :)
thanks for those dims btw
WOW!!!
R.I.P knife
awesome
Dimensions?
looks good, but i personally would have epoxied the nuts in place then used hex drive bolt to secure the limbs, or epoxy the bolts in place and use some heavy duty wingnuts to be able to tighten a bit more securely. its a little uglier but i think it might be a bit more secure, for peace of mind purposes. i have seen a poorly secured limb snap from a bolt not being tight enough. the user couldn't tighten anymore by hand, and figured it was good. they ended up with a gash on their forehead and a concussion. ouch.
