- I layer fiberglass tape for this bow backing....and I think this one is going to work out! This bow backing should not work out according to what I have been taught But now it is time to break the rules and find new boundaries!!!.

”Thank you for your support
There is so much more to learn when you show failed attempts and explain why and how it failed.
I always say that you learn more when you screw up and take the time to understand why you screwed up. There’s little to learn if you succeed ”by accident”.
I made my first bow from green staff of rowan. I carved it while drying it over a campfire. I didn’t have a clue what I was doing and did everything as wrong as possible. And yet I managed to make a bow that actually worked and managed to stay in one piece for over 10 years. After that I have failed almost seven times in a row with better materials better tools and a lot more information. But in the process I have learned more about different species of wood and how they respond to different kinds of tools than in any school or occupqtion in over twenty years ❤
I've learned so much from watching your videos Kramer.
I've learned even more from not being afraid to fail and trying new things. Who knew that bending and shaping wood could be so rewarding.
Great stuff brah!
Thank you!
:)
I am a dad and I have a sweater like that. So... 😁 Nice video, though. I haven’t made a bow in years, but this makes me want to try again.
I ordered an inexpensive d-cross section hickory self bow from an online seller and received a bow that doesn't have a single growth ring on the back. Its actually got not one but many growth rings that terminate on the limb sections. It's hard to be super disappointed in a bow for $70 but in this case I'm afraid to even draw the bow. I considered a bamboo backing for it but instead I thought maybe the fiberglass tape would give the bow the stability it needs.
I sat through your fun video, and now I want the finish VIDEO! Please🙂

@@kramerammonsarchery
but did it work??
I like the video, this is what I am going to do with my bow.
USE VEGETABLE SHORTENING FRONT AND BACK THEN HEAT THE BOW AND BEND IT.
CLEAN IT WITH ACETONE.
HAVE YOU TRIED A BONDO FIBERGLASS KIT?
I WONDER IF SINEW WOULD WORK?
I love the way you break things down. To the point with a little entertainment twist.
Nice 👍🏼have you tried gluing fiberglass cloth instead off fiber tape if it works it would look better then the tape
So did it work? I was considering trying this on a cheap pine board bow.
For sure did it work out? I used fiberglass drywall tape and wood glue on the first bow I made and it seemed to raise performance some. I think I only have four layers on though and the bow shot well Bear bow
Just curious if you had considered using an Iron with the steam setting to help in bending.. Especially on really dry wood..?
Stronger than*
Hey thanks for your videos, first of all and sharing your experience. I am in the processes of making my first bow, following some of your tips and others. Thanks!
Stronger THAN steel.
Thank you!! Was hoping someone here had a decent grasp of the English language!
@@deloceanophoto Jesus calm down its a typo not a house fire
Have you tried the woven fiberglass cloth you can get in hardware stores?
yeah the Henrys felt type tape
Have you experimented with different kinds of glue? I know the glue needs to be somewhat flexible...a hard epoxy resin would crack. I'm thinking that Gorilla Glue or a construction adhesive like Liquid Nails or NP-1 might work.
skategreaser
He’s used Titebond III which is fairly water resistant (not entirely waterproof however). It appears to work well
@@WRMonger1 Yes, I watched the video. I'm asking if he's experimented with other glues.
skategreaser
In one video he’s using what looks like epoxy. Avoid 5 minute epoxy, use 24 hr epoxy.
Im using gorilla glue with 6 layers of the fiberglass tape and seems to be flexible an strong
You can tell me what kind of glue you put in the fiberglass. ? What is he? Epoxy? Or polyester? Please tell me dude I need help!
Where the hell is the sequel???
Nice bow i think i gona do Just like you did
👌🏹🏹
Keep it up
i would have thought you'd lay the tape across the bow just along the back, not wrapping the entire bow. is that because this specific bow is brittle?
when you use fiberglass tape why do you not use fiberglass like for a boat
You call that rubbish bro that’s better than what I can do
Kramer why do you use glue on the fiberglass tape instead of fiberglass. Seems like fiberglass would be a much stronger bond than the glue
Fiberglass isn't an adhesive.
@@garethbaus5471 Probably @WallStreet749 meant to use epoxy or polyester resin with the glass cloth/tape rather than the water based Polyurethane wood glue. Those are much harder to work with and would not sink into the wood as well.
It does look like a dad sweater
Why don't you steam it?
Big question. Can a normal metal child's bow be strengthened with fibreglass tape?
Than
So wheres the follow-up video?
Try out "fibafuse" tape as backing.
Just use Bondo like me
I won’t
did you use normal fiberglas mesh or real tape
I can only find fibreglass tape with adhesive. Will this work or will the already added adhesive not work with the wood glue?
@@kramerammonsarchery thank you for replying :) you can expect an order for a tillering string and a B-55 once I figure out which dimensions I want to go for👍
Before applying heat to the limbs put oil on the limbs. This way you don't burn them and it helps with bending. Any cooking oil will do.
Hey, do you sell bows if you do where can I find them
Does anyone know if fiberglass backing stop or limit string follow?
It may limit it but probably will not stop it completely. Depends on the type of wood.
@@kramerammonsarchery thank you!
I like your video, but really pisses me off seeing how much your vise is moving
I love your videos, but watching someone glue drywall tape on a bow and not sinew was kind of depressing.
*than*
“Than” for the love of god “THAN” 😉
can you point me to a good draw knife?
dry heat what the hell is wet heat
Steam dipshit
Its the flames from dried out water.
great editing, great style, great presence.. but you are a bow butcher :(
Oh my... you mean “stronger _than*_ steel”. Sorry for being a grammar nazi, but that’s a big one...☹️
God likes the knots to be just over or just under 4 feet apart.
Never, ever, EVERY THIRTY SIX INCHES, NEVER!!!
Try making 72 inch bows and see God's sense of humor. The same creator of everything, ever. The one who thought nothing odd about avocado and watermelon seed.
I think you adiction is getting out of hand nd not bringing you the satisfaction it once did.I thing you need some help,Gods help.
that music sucks
You can tell me what kind of glue you put in the fiberglass. ? What is he? Epoxy? Or polyester? Please tell me dude I need help!
Kramer Ammons
Hey man! thank you for the answer!
Can fiberglass strip be made with this material? Or paste /
