Full Size Bow Press ........................................................ amzn.to/3rguHVs
This is one of the first designs that i've seen for a DIY bow press that works as well as the expensive ones. It's made from heavy duty materials, not wires and limb clamps. What was even better, i already had all the materials to build it, so it was free to me.
This is much better and more solid then using ratchet-straps (which is not safe) and the screw and wire bow press (which doesn't allow for easy access).
So give this homemade bow press a try if you are like me and only need to do some minor adjustments to your bow string, D-loop, peep sight, add a twist.... a couple times per year.

Love this design, love how the video was done. So short and simple, no wasted time, offering the important design and construction but not making it long and complicated with details, allowing the viewer to figure those details out on their own. Made one yesterday and it works great. Thank you

You my man are a genius. I've been thinking in my head for weeks how to build my own press and all the other ideas on RU-vid aren't neer as simple as this. Two thumbs up 👍👍

Great idea. Thanks for the instruction. I just made one using scrap pieces of cedar 4x4 (from a mailbox post). This eliminated the gluing of multiple plywood pieces. I used it to change the strings and cables on my crossbow. I removed the limbs/riser from the bow and this new press worked perfectly. Really like the fact that I don't have to buy another piece of equipment that gets used 1x per year.

Great Idea! Plus if you want a lil more stability,you can make the middle piece of plywood wood block T shape. This would provide a lil bit more of a stable base when it sits on the table.

Brilliant! Quick fix for stopping the block snagging on pipe is to insert a piece plastic pipe (plumbing) to make sleeve in to the hole of the block

I made this and it works great. Instead of plywood though, I cut the wood blocks from a hickory log and oversized them for extra strength. Important note: use a 1 1/8" drill bit to drill holes to accommodate the 3/4" pipe.

The cable style presses you mention in the beggining work just fine. Like Bowmaster. And they are portable. Your DIY design is good as well for home use. The critical point is laminating that thick plywood for clamps, otherwise it would be dangerous.

You could elongate the whole on that side vertically so it could slide as you loosen the clamp. It would allow the wood to tilt.
@callsignmohas5190

Definitely onto something I was thinking about making a bar clamp bow press and sure shit your video pops up. Instead of using wood blocks I may use a welder make a taller clamp that allows the string to face up for restringing a bow at home or possibly using laminated two by sixes about 16” in length Rad video man!!

Can you take the string off and cables?
@DaveWirth
@DaveWirth Год назад
Ya, the cables attach on the pins in front of the wood pieces. And the string should just pull through the middle.

@Slabforkhomestead
@Slabforkhomestead Год назад
I love this idea and I have what I need to do it. Do you think this would be stout enough for a crossbow?
@DaveWirth
@DaveWirth Год назад
I don't know. I was always very cautious when it was pressed in there. But it should probably work with a crossbow. You can see a couple examples at 1:42 where they used steel instead of wood. That would be stronger, but harder to build.
@Zelleram55
@Zelleram55 Год назад
Looks good, do you think you could Take a cam all the way out, as in to change cam to different draw mod like the old Mathews solocams
@DaveWirth
@DaveWirth Год назад
I don't know, probably not. There's not a lot of room to work on the cams between the wood blocks.
@vikbon1627
@vikbon1627 Год назад
пресс нужен только в случае сборки compound bow , у которого болты на карманах , не позволяют полностью ослабить тетиву и троса ! если лук собран , и требуется замена тросов и тетивы , или регулировки , достаточно иметь под рукой обычную зажигалку или любой предмет такого же размера ( дерево , пластмасса ) - упираемся коленом в Riser , оттягиваем тетиву на 5 см , и вставляем предмет в блок , который упрётся в плечё при отпускании тетивы .
@austinmabry8462
@austinmabry8462 Год назад
There absolutely IS a good way of releasing ratchet straps in a controlled manner. A few seconds of looking at how the mechanism should make this method abundantly clear to anybody with opposable thumbs. But yeah, it's not ideal.
@David0lyle
@David0lyle 9 месяцев назад
I love it, I’m restringing crossbows. The ratchet strap (at least the smallest ones. ) literally CANNOT exert enough force. The handles bend.
@B-Rivendell
@B-Rivendell Год назад
I love your design and I'm using it as a base to make my own. I ran into a snag though and I'd like your advice. What size drill bit did you use? I missed it when you said the hole size, and assumed 3/4 inch pipe meant the outer diameter when its the inner. I measured out the outer diameter at 1-1/16 inch, or 27mm. Did you use a one inch drill bit (spade or Forstner), then sand the inside of the holes? How much wiggle room is there from pipe to wood clamp?
@DaveWirth
@DaveWirth Год назад
I don't remember the hole size. But i do remember that it was just a tiny bit too small. And had to use a rasp/file to enlarge it a little. You want the pipe to be snug though. I used a forstner bit.
@B-Rivendell
@B-Rivendell Год назад
@@DaveWirth Ah. Cool. Thank you for the info. And I'll definitely not forget to grease the wood clamp. Again, great job on the bow press!
@GertTown
@GertTown Год назад
How did you figure that the portable bow presses don't work? They work great on most bows and are much easier to use than this homemade press. They also allow better access to the cams and string yokes.
@GertTown
@GertTown Год назад
I actually have the portable and I made one similar to this one with a few modifications. The cheap one finally came apart while pressing a,bow but this wood one is still working strong.
@Predatorbybow
@Predatorbybow 8 месяцев назад
Whats the length(height) of the upright pieces glued together? Great idea!
@DaveWirth
@DaveWirth 8 месяцев назад
I don't really remember, i'll have to measure. They can be any size, just have to clear the limbs, cams... I think they are probably 9" tall and 4" wide.
@Bido11561

Could you remove a Mathews cam to change top hats with this type of press?

probably. YOu might not have enough room though to get at the cams.

Does this press allows limbs exchanges on a compound bow?
@DaveWirth
@DaveWirth 6 месяцев назад
It would allow you to remove the strings. Then you could replace the limbs without the press
@tasosissaakidis8506
@tasosissaakidis8506 2 года назад
will this work with a crossbow?
@DaveWirth
@DaveWirth 2 года назад
Maybe, but might be very wobbly. Would have to clamp it down to prevent from tipping.
@1959jimbob
@1959jimbob 2 месяца назад
Good idea but the bow needs to be string up on this type of press and the cams have got to be totally clear so you can remove them and or replace the cables and string. The way you are demonstrating with the string down will be doable IF there is enough clearance for the serving jigs to be easily rotated around the string. Plus those cams must be totally clear so they can be removed.
@TheresaVanStraten

In the process of making this described bow press . I know the plywood block is 2.25" thick, what are the height and width dimensions of this plywood block that you made? ... Thnx
@DaveWirth
@DaveWirth Год назад
Not sure. But the plywood was 3 pieces, each 3/4" so the thickness is 2.25" thick. Width is maybe 3" and height maybe 7".

No need for grease... rub some candle wax in the hole for the pipe and that will lubricate and stop it sticking.

You can "walk" the ratchet down. Just FYI
@mrsvsgm5709
@mrsvsgm5709 2 года назад
Worried about one 2x4 how many pounds you pulling on your bow you could use 1/2” thick board if it’s all you have even with the notches take a bow scale pull your bow slowly and watch how many pounds it takes to get the string back far enough to work on you might be surprised on how little weight it takes all cams are different
@markstevenson3880
@markstevenson3880 4 месяца назад
Might have a solution for you NOT to use the hammer retraction method. This is a very old and simple method for what you are trying to do. Get a short length of BRASS pipe 1" ID and this becomes the sleeve on your pipe spine. Glue it into your wood (clamp screw end). Note: BRASS has a natural lubricant characteristic with porosity and with a few drops of oil, will remain viable for many years. Do this for both press ends for a professional job. Approx. $15/ft of pipe
