Nice video, realy good illustration on how to make self nocks, i make them using hacksawblade (i think thats what its called) and sandpaper difrent grits, i wonder what would you do if you happend to make the nock to wide? How would you go about to fix that?? I Like your videos you have such calming energi and great information!! 🙏 🏹🎯
@@christoffergustafsson3057 thank you so much! I appreciate that alot 😁🙏 i think if i was to make a nock a little too wide i would maybe line it with a small peice of leather, some archers place a tiny leather tab at the base of the inside of the nock to precent it splitting down the grain if its not bound or reinforced with a nock, maybe this would also work on side walls of the nock. I always use a thin rotar blade and constantly check against a bow string for a nice fit 😁. Thanks for your support!!
@@journeywitharrows2742 thank you so much, that a few new neet tips for me!! 🙏 It dosent happens to often that i got the nock to wide, what i have done when it happens is put a thin layer of super glue and some baking soda to get instant hardend and it suposed to be even stronger than just super glue,, and then i just sand it down again, but i have to say that your metode sounds like it would fit me pretty nice, i have to try that if it gets to wide, i hope my method can come in handy for u as well works wonders to secure broadheads (slit in shaft style) and get a smooth transition to the shaft,, just build up sand down repeat 🙏🏹thank you again!!! 🙏
Neatest ones I’ve seen yet. Going to have to get a Dremel lol
Thats pretty cool, I do them all by hand. I am going to try this on my next batch.
Great video! I shared it to my blacksmithing page.
Thank you! 😀
Good tutorial Dave, usually build my arrows with plastic nocks but might try self nocks when I need to make more 🏹
Do it :D its such a sence of achievement! 😁
@@journeywitharrows2742 Can imagine, feels good building my own 🤘
