@jypsridic 4 года назад

There are historians who suggest that prior to real weapons a strategy that early humans used for hunting was to simply chase their prey until they died of exhaustion. Humans are pretty uniquely capable among mammals of long distance running due to bipedal-ism, quadrupeds have their breathing restricted by how their torso contorts as they run.

@The_Keeper 4 года назад

Yup. Imagine being the animal: Sees human, runs the F away... Later, as you are resting the human just show up and is like "Sup, you dead yet..?". So, you run away again. And this just keeps happening until you straight up drop dead from exhaustion. Basically, humans are like Slow Zombies in the movies; You can easily run away from us, but we just keep coming until you are dead. Humans are scary beasts.

U should have straighten the arrows by pulling them through a flame and then straighten them,, tip for next time. either way really impressive work

@micahphilson 4 года назад

Flame? I was thinking thoroughly soaking them, and then there are many ways to shape and form them before it dries again.

@mattmadolah 4 года назад

@@micahphilson @Lusmiaka is right, Flame. Flame will steam the moisture in them to make it only slightly pliable, to straighten and they dry out straight. Soaking wouk make them Fully pliable, but when you straighten it theres now more moisture to dry out and more time for it to re warp with sun/ inconsistent drying in areas, bending it again. This is akin to fletcher using a 'Kiln'

@micahphilson 4 года назад

@@mattmadolah cool to know, I didnt know that was a procedure. The bit about taking more time to dry giving more time for errors makes sense, though. Definitely has to be fresh, live wood, then, to have enough moisture to make it work, and you'll need some good gloves to work with steaming hot wood. Could you combine them and slightly soak the wood to do the process with older wood or more than once?

@KainYusanagi 4 года назад

You can also use the soaking method with a rough mold and means to keep enough pressure on it that it can't flex out of place. Even better, though, would have been for them to use something like dogwood or reeds (phragmites for example) or even bamboo; hardy but light, much better for arrow bodies than shafts from saplings, especially with their currently available tools. Far easier to process, as well.

30-ish lbs is a perfectly normal draw weight for a sort of civil use primitive bow like this, to my understanding. Even some forms of warbow were fairly "low" poundage like the one you've made, really high draw weight bows were used primarily in contexts where they would be expected to punch through layers of armor, especially through volley fire at long distances. Speaking of, do you guys plan on going into armor technology at all? Might be cool to see you guys try out some early forms of textile armor.

@sdv4675 4 года назад

Skele Boner funny you mention volley fire, didn’t really happen that much or at all, just like the ‘at long distance’ part. Archers would go for direct fire and made sure they’d hit. At a long distance it’s to hard to hit the weakspots if the armour aswell as the facts that the arrow slows down and thus isn’t powerfull enough to penetrate anyway. Because of the distance you’d also have to fire the arrow into the air, losing more energy.

@kovona 4 года назад

@@sdv4675 Armour wasn't very common in most places up until late in antiquity, and even then a constant barrage will eventually hit exposed body parts. Arrows are also a very good ballistic projectiles; the typical arrow from a bow will retain about 80-90% of it's original kinetic energy within 100 metres (compare to 50-60% for a musket ball at the same distance).

@joost1120 4 года назад

@@sdv4675 Aiming at weak spots in armour wasn't really a thing in the way you say it is. If anyone is close enough where you can reliably hit a moving weak spot, they're close enough to kill you before you can draw a second arrow. Most cultures that employed archers in their armies required them to shoot an arrow a certain distance, rather than hit a target at a close distance. This implies that they value range over precision. This corresponds to the idea of volume of arrows, which is also supported by medieval texts.

You can "fully cast" the copper tools using rocks in which you carved the shape of what you want to cast. Afterwards, you only need to melt the metal (at least partially) and put it in the rock-cast. Two or more rocks can be pressed together to get more difficult shapes going, and rubbing the rocks together in a circular motion would lead to the contacting faces of the rocks to eventually connect rather smoothly (if they're flat enough).

I really hope this series lives long and strong. I can’t wait to see Andy build his own steam engine and get into the industrial revolution to manufacture parts efficiently

@FunkyFyreMunky 3 года назад

Not as unrealistic as some people may think.The first officially recognised steam engine was invented in the 1st century AD in ancient Greece. Unfortunately, because they used an external wood-fire rather than an internal coal fire to heat it, it was seen at the time as nothing more than a toy as it put out far less power than the slaves feeding the flames could themselves.

Except this guy isn't a far-right corpo cock-jockey that openly wants OSHA and labor laws repealed because they "cost businesses money." No Koch family money feeding this channel either it seems. Mike Rowe is a white collar poser that went to an acting school, and is an actor. And is, funnily enough, in a union/guild despite being vocally anti-union.

You can also do cord/cable backing on overtillered bows like the Inuits do for some small performance increase, but a well built and matched arrow still delivers

@adamwolf2376 4 года назад

Why not just use a branch instead of a whole trunk? because it won't take 5 hours to shape and it wont split because the branch has strength because the grain is unbroken

@twoheadedchicken7904 4 года назад

i was thinking the samething

@antonjanssen3549 4 года назад

The inside of the trunk is far more resistant to compression than the outside. So you want this part to be the inner side of your bow, you lose less energy to dampening and the bow lasts far longer.

@Robert-qm7yi 4 года назад

Adam Wolf 237 The heart wood isn't as springy, thousands of years of development says splitting trees for bows is better anyway

@alexanderbruwer9363 4 года назад

Apart from what all the other comments say, you want as much material to start off with as possible (without creating too much work shaping it) to give room for errors you can make or for tillering etc. You can always take more wood away, you can't add it back on the kind of bow he's making and expect a properly functional piece

@MegaAdeny 4 года назад

Adam Wolf 237 splitting doesn't mess up the grain, working the back of the bow does. I've made an elm longbow myself, and while mine was slightly longer, it's closer to 80 pounds and can take a 30" draw. Can't get that with a branch, not nearly as easily anyway

@ryanjohnston4240 3 года назад

This bow has like a 33' brace height and a terrifying hinge!! Glad you didn't get hurt shooting it.

@garethbaus5471 4 года назад

You might want to consider making hide glue and using sinew to reinforce your bow, you could increase the draw weight and reduce the chance of the bow snapping.

@zaffran1117 4 года назад

I watched him put the bow on the "tildering" (?) stick, and it made me think, "Why did no one invent the crossbow sooner?"

@Alex-mp8dp 3 года назад

Good question! It's because to get enough energy out of it (it's a relatively small bow after all) the bow limbs need to be very stiff, which means it needs to be made of metal. An equivalent power wooden bow would be *massive* and you wouldn't be able to draw it with any efficiency. The firing mechanism also needs to be made of metal to withstand the stress it's put under. TLDR; crossbows need lots of metal and it needs to be in one large piece which means it needs to be cast.
