I know this was posted a couple years ago, but this was seriously wonderful to watch. Thank you for the gift of your videos. Beautiful craftsmanship, sir.
tried getting into making recurves 20 years ago. first time laminating, it split, then life happened. been thinking on trying again. best wishes to you.
Man... I am wordless. You are a master and an artist! I still need to watch all your other videos, but the ones I've watched so far are just incredible. I hope I can begin learning soon enough and in a couple of years be as good as you!!! Keep it up man. I love your videos.
I use to make bows but due to health and age I put it aside. I am trying to learn how to use my computer now. I found your video and it amazed me that one so young was such an excellent bowyer. Your attention to tillering showed me you know how it is done. All else is wasted if the tillering is off. Thanks for the video!
Wow, I'm speechless. First time I watch any of your videos. Subscribed not even a minute into the video. I've always been fascinated by bows. Sob, never had one, maybe soon, I'm 55. No smurf music, the silence is like a trance, everything comes in cleanly. Precious. Beautiful bow.
Been married over 20 yrs. You hit it out of the park with the no talking!!! Lol. Loved it, beautiful work! Thank you again, for sooooo much said without a word!!! david
Well I'm a hunter from the uk.i only use full bore rifles.but watching you make that bow.wow massive respect too you and your skills truly you are a master at wot you do thanks for an excellent video
Im just amazed at what you do. Ive been a carpenter for 24 yrs i see this and think..I can do this. Wow you are a master craftsman because I find this a difficult task and tedious work. Great job young man. I will keep watching to gain more knowledge.
I bet Mr. Kramer wasn't relaxed at all, with hundreds of adjustments to get the bow to curve evenly, his try and error, looked pretty frustrating rather than any bit of relaxing, may be you were relaxed but, he wasn't... It's a great video and Mr. Kramer crammed a lot of hours in this "short" looking video, he's a real craftsman in my book, Bravo.
So... that was an interesting episode. I watch all my TH-cam shows while working on the Oxygen line here at a compressed gas filling plant. So, I'm not always able to "watch" per se. But, with my hearing protection w/built in Bluetooth speakers, I listen to everything. That's why for me this episode was different. Still better than hearing tanks filling.
Damn! You make it look so easy! And your workshop is so nicely setup. Lots of good “Lean” going on. I made a laminate bow on a course in the UK last November... was so much fun but I had an expert on hand showing me what to do. Brilliant video mate.
Because of your passion and skill you inspired me to make a bow of my own. Three attempts snapped before properly tillered and the 4th has a crack in after i shot 500+ arrows through it ( so I was still happy with that one). But today I snapped my 5th, exploded in my hands after 750 - 1000 arrows. I was so upset.... Then I saw this video.... Tomorrow I'm making another bow 👍 Thankyou for the great videos bro !
Just turned it on... And then I'm like: "I've been sitting there for twenty minutes already, staring at him work!?" I gotta say, it's great to know what he's doing
hey man out of all the people with making bows, I actually like yours the most. some of the other are good and some have primitive tool makings and stuff like that but you bring a little sense of humor in your videos and it makes for an enjoyable watch and keeps me interested in the video. your not boring to listen to and that's a good thing. also your subscribers will start becoming more and more. keep up the good work
Honestly very relaxing to watch this. I'm amazed at how much actually goes on in making a laminated bow, seems like it's a lot of back and forth and testing to see if it has the right draw weight. Thanks for uploading!
Thank you for this video. You showed a better way to do several of the steps that always seemed to me to look the hardest. I now believe that I could do it. Again, thank you!
Really impressive handcraft. I would have appriciated if you explained what types of wood you were using, type of glues and the different aspects of the craft you were doing. It would have been even more inspiring and enjoyable
Y aquí me encuentro soltero tranquilo comiendo y disfrutando de este maravilloso vídeo satisfactorio😁😁 planeando hacer mi propio arco en el taller. Tengo que intentarlo , saludos excelente video
This is without question your best video ever. Honestly, a lot of your other videos are just too loud for my liking, too much talking and music, feels more like I'm watching a vlogger than someone making a bow. This is perfect, no nonsense, great use of sound, great editing, very relaxing. More videos like this would be great Also, do you sell you bows anywhere?
I love this. Wouldn't mind owning a bow like that. I have a love/hate relationship with videos like this. I love working with my hands and making things, but I don't have the tools or space for a workshop. So here I am on TH-cam, in awe of other peoples skill but not in a position to try things like this myself. One day maybe.
Mate, absolutely lovely piece of art.... something about bamboo on a bow.....here in the UK , I was shooting a trad longbow made by a lad called Adrian Hayes.....just couldn't fault it...and seeing you create this bow has rekindle a passion I thought I had lost....so thank you my friend for igniting a spark I thought I had lost....well done sir👍
Kramer Ammons the 528 thumbs down is how many people who watched your videos who are unhappy in there life!because your videos are great !an your experience an the pleasure you get from shooting bows an dedication to perfection stands out with or with out volume! An no matter the materials you use making the bow you strive an show people they can achieve with whats available an.minimal tools cheers keep it up your awesome an videos are as well
Hey Kramer, you have to let us in on your playlist. I would love to see what you listen to while working on these beautiful bows. Or more precisely let us hear your playlist along with you😝
This is my first time watching one of your videos and it randomly popped up on my suggestions. I watched all the way through, fascinated. Great job, great video, I look forward to seeing more!
i never made a bow in my life and i always wanted to, because i had a old one from a garage sale, i thought it was simple as pie, carve the wood put a string on, but theses look very complicated, im eager to try and make one and will defiantly be a learning experience
I really appreciate what you did little brother, loved every minute of it. Help me to understand more what I was doing wrong. As always thanks, your brother in Christ. WRV
Mr. Kramer. For a such good craftsman like yourself, you deserve a much higher quality and better bench vice than what you're using... Great Video, thanks.
Brilliant! If Kevin De Bruyne made bows😉 You are a real craftsman. I’ve never had the guts , tools or ability to make my own bows. I own 4 English longbows ranging from 55 pounds up to 140 pounds.
Great video brother, I really think most of us appreciate the no talking because you are great at making your video self-explanatory. If folks are like me my visual acuity is way better than my hearing retention. I've often thought I had a slight dyslexia problem also, so for those wired like me thanks man, If she shoots as good as she looks ya got a winner! I learned a lot and I'm bought ready to try one of this type myself. I'll let ya know how it turns out.
Damn that was amazing and I loved it especially the silence it truly helps to bring out the artistic depth that carpentry possesses and it's as if I'm taken back in time and witnessing the construction of a prehistoric bow
I know this was posted a couple years ago, but this was seriously wonderful to watch. Thank you for the gift of your videos. Beautiful craftsmanship, sir.
Tillering, tillering, and more tillering. I like how you focused on that. It's painstaking process and important for a good bow. Awesome job!
man, this guy's workshop is sweet. & the jig he made for the initial shape. that bow came out beautiful dude
tried getting into making recurves 20 years ago.
first time laminating, it split, then life happened.
been thinking on trying again.
best wishes to you.
the time for something is always coming at the right time everything just 'clicks' and wala a new generation a new era a new world
Its been 15 years since I made an oak board bow
Man... I am wordless.
You are a master and an artist!
I still need to watch all your other videos, but the ones I've watched so far are just incredible.
I hope I can begin learning soon enough and in a couple of years be as good as you!!!
Keep it up man.
I love your videos.

Beautiful bow.
I am so, so happy that I was lucky enough to win!!!!!!!!!1
@Toby.. LUCKY guy!!!!!!! 👍👍👍
Congrats man

Congratz
Lucky guy, I'm trying not to be jealous lol
Been married over 20 yrs. You hit it out of the park with the no talking!!! Lol. Loved it, beautiful work! Thank you again, for sooooo much said without a word!!! david
Well I'm a hunter from the uk.i only use full bore rifles.but watching you make that bow.wow massive respect too you and your skills truly you are a master at wot you do thanks for an excellent video

Amazing, this is so relaxing... when the video started I thought a half of hour is too much 😂 but Mr. Kramer what you do is art 😍😍😍
Marvin Johan Blanco Montes ..oh please stop it 😂
I bet Mr. Kramer wasn't relaxed at all, with hundreds of adjustments to get the bow to curve evenly, his try and error, looked pretty frustrating rather than any bit of relaxing, may be you were relaxed but, he wasn't...
It's a great video and Mr. Kramer crammed a lot of hours in this "short" looking video, he's a real craftsman in my book, Bravo.
In my childhood, passed by bow and arrow from tree branches. I always wanted a real bow. This is one of my dreams. Thank you kramer.
So... that was an interesting episode. I watch all my TH-cam shows while working on the Oxygen line here at a compressed gas filling plant. So, I'm not always able to "watch" per se. But, with my hearing protection w/built in Bluetooth speakers, I listen to everything. That's why for me this episode was different. Still better than hearing tanks filling.
Great work, and I really liked the no music. Just the sound of him working. Congratulations on a job well done.
Watching a real craftsman at work, making what is really hard look easy!
I really enjoyed this video, it’s a nice change of pace and I’d love to see more videos like this in the future! Super relaxing!
Damn! You make it look so easy! And your workshop is so nicely setup. Lots of good “Lean” going on. I made a laminate bow on a course in the UK last November... was so much fun but I had an expert on hand showing me what to do. Brilliant video mate.
Your craftsmanship and precision deserves a salute

👍👍👍👍👍👍
Just turned it on... And then I'm like: "I've been sitting there for twenty minutes already, staring at him work!?"
I gotta say, it's great to know what he's doing
Yeah but when I work on one I don't know what I'm doing

Honestly very relaxing to watch this. I'm amazed at how much actually goes on in making a laminated bow, seems like it's a lot of back and forth and testing to see if it has the right draw weight.
Thanks for uploading!
Not just the right draw weight, but also the right shape of the bend and that both arms bend exactly the same.
Thank you for this video. You showed a better way to do several of the steps that always seemed to me to look the hardest. I now believe that I could do it. Again, thank you!
Really impressive handcraft. I would have appriciated if you explained what types of wood you were using, type of glues and the different aspects of the craft you were doing. It would have been even more inspiring and enjoyable
That was amazingly satisfying to watch. You are plainly a perfectionist, and I'm sure it shoots as well as it looks. Thank you.
work of art this young man was born a master of archery
It's such a luxury to move from one specialized power tool to another.... nice workshop btw
True craftsmenship and love the silence, really brings out the work and proces! Thank you for sharing!
I just love how quiet things are when woodworking
Absolutely therapeutic watching this. We need some close ups on that bow!
After seeing this I wont insult the world and try to make a bow!!!!!!!! Very nice... loved this video
6:40 nothing will ever be more satisfying than this sound
I think it's an underappreciated fact that this dude has crazy strong fingers.
About 15 years ago I got into making laminated longbows. Probably made 25-30. Folks, it's a lot of work.
Cramer, this is one of your best videos. to see a bow built is better than a description imo. thank you for sharing your process.
Y aquí me encuentro soltero tranquilo comiendo y disfrutando de este maravilloso vídeo satisfactorio😁😁 planeando hacer mi propio arco en el taller. Tengo que intentarlo , saludos excelente video
making a very thorough, full of appreciation of a long time does not matter and the results were perfect as desired
This is without question your best video ever. Honestly, a lot of your other videos are just too loud for my liking, too much talking and music, feels more like I'm watching a vlogger than someone making a bow.
This is perfect, no nonsense, great use of sound, great editing, very relaxing. More videos like this would be great

That is patience and dedication. From a guy who earns a living as a carpenter, that is very impressive.
Precise work with the use of appropriate tools. Congratulations 😄.
Thank you 😀.
Been a long time since I saw another human being who actually knew how to use a cabinet scraper properly.
One of your best videos ever !!! .... So relaxing & enjoyable to watch. Fantastic work.
Almost an ASMR video! I can't wait for have one of those bows!
Mate, absolutely lovely piece of art.... something about bamboo on a bow.....here in the UK , I was shooting a trad longbow made by a lad called Adrian Hayes.....just couldn't fault it...and seeing you create this bow has rekindle a passion I thought I had lost....so thank you my friend for igniting a spark I thought I had lost....well done sir👍
A great instructional video on bamboo backed longbow.
Nice job....you clearly know how to sharpen and use a card scraper!!
i think is awesome with no music. awesome to able to hear all the work you did
Been watching your videos for a long time now. Each one is unique but worth the watch. Thank you for your time.
This is the best video I've even watched.
Awesome video...wish more people would do 'in silence'. Thank you
Kramer Ammons the 528 thumbs down is how many people who watched your videos who are unhappy in there life!because your videos are great !an your experience an the pleasure you get from shooting bows an dedication to perfection stands out with or with out volume! An no matter the materials you use making the bow you strive an show people they can achieve with whats available an.minimal tools cheers keep it up your awesome an videos are as well
Amazing watching you execute this discipline...
Deus Vult!!
that is just a BEAUTIFUL bow!!!!
I could spent easily long enough watching for these silent skill works, but not in blah x3
The trees in the background where screaming when he used the belt sander. They were like thats Bill, OMFG...
So calm when you're so irritated. Great job
A work of art. Images, angles, sound recording, editing and of course, the bow. Love it!
Skills well demonstrated need no words.
I love that's its not a frigging music video wanna be, just great solid work
Hey Kramer, you have to let us in on your playlist. I would love to see what you listen to while working on these beautiful bows. Or more precisely let us hear your playlist along with you😝
not only motivates me to get back in the shop, but also to try my first bow project. you rock sir
That's so cool. I've never seen someone make one from start to finish. That's great work.
This is my first time watching one of your videos and it randomly popped up on my suggestions. I watched all the way through, fascinated. Great job, great video, I look forward to seeing more!
So nice to see someone going through the full process. My dad used to make these bows. Brings back good memories. Great work.
Super satisfying to watch and listen to. Thanks for sharing your craft
Very cool build to watch This guy is skilled, patient & well prepared. Good job.
Amazing work!! Thank you for sharing! I can see myself making one some day! Wow, look at those bows!!!
A silent bravo to you, guy.
i never made a bow in my life and i always wanted to, because i had a old one from a garage sale, i thought it was simple as pie, carve the wood put a string on, but theses look very complicated, im eager to try and make one and will defiantly be a learning experience
1:16, transition appreciated
Dude got skills.. i like him ! .. my new bow tech guy
i love silence , bows are nice too
Amazing work Mr. Kramer
scrapers are the un sung greatest hand tools.nice technique.
It's a very nice job....but it's a very very complex process...thanks for sharing
Yessss, peace of art, the bow and the video. Love it.
I really appreciate what you did little brother, loved every minute of it. Help me to understand more what I was doing wrong. As always thanks, your brother in Christ. WRV
conclusion: making a bow isnt too hard. making a bow perfect is very hard.
Scraping with a razor blade is one of my favorite activities in the shop! It’s so rewarding. Great looking bow!
Mr. Kramer.
For a such good craftsman like yourself, you deserve a much higher quality and better bench vice than what you're using...
Great Video, thanks.
The bandsaw guide bearings need to come closer, "almost touching" to the blade. It will give more control and less to no drift.
prove it by showing your video !
Thanks mate,
That was really entertaining and informative although there was not a word spoken.
Well done and keep up the good work.
Cheers Hendrik.
Brilliant! If Kevin De Bruyne made bows😉 You are a real craftsman. I’ve never had the guts , tools or ability to make my own bows. I own 4 English longbows ranging from 55 pounds up to 140 pounds.
Nice work with the card scraper!
🎯
Awesome video. Nice videography and bow
Beautiful and I image a very satisfying accomplishment.
Great video brother, I really think most of us appreciate the no talking because you are great at making your video self-explanatory. If folks are like me my visual acuity is way better than my hearing retention. I've often thought I had a slight dyslexia problem also, so for those wired like me thanks man, If she shoots as good as she looks ya got a winner! I learned a lot and I'm bought ready to try one of this type myself. I'll let ya know how it turns out.
Well made! Thanks for sharing!
Uauuu, que belo trabalho, eu quero esse arco para mim.
Damn that was amazing and I loved it especially the silence it truly helps to bring out the artistic depth that carpentry possesses and it's as if I'm taken back in time and witnessing the construction of a prehistoric bow
I hate how people like you talk. It's so annoying.
Just say you think it's a cool bow and shut the Hell up.
Wow...-Filipino here...great job
يعجز لساني لوصفك.انت انسان ذكي وحرفيةمتمكن
Thanks very much, I really enjoyed that.
Nice work. Thank god you didn`t spoil the video by `talking us through` it. Nice posting, thanks. : )
Wow your craftsmanship has really improved. This was a pleasure to watch.
looking for something to watch while i listen to my zoom meeting. sees this uploaded 15 minutes ago. "ah perfect"
I feel sticky after watching that process. Good job on the bow.
