How to make a wood longbow with glass fiber tape 

It's not powerful enough. If you are knowledgeable, please give me some tips on how to make this bow stronger. Thank you for watching.

I've made lots of things out of wood which also include Bows. I have a number of power tools to help the process. However looking at your bow and your method very very well done using the absolute minimal tools. In a Survival situation you'll get food with your skills. WELL DONE.

I think he should now focus on mastering Archery

you need to make a bow with pulleys and with rubber strings that's another level. That Will be bery nice 👌

Fine craftsmanship bro!

おおー！今回の弓は海外の人と比べても本格的な良い弓ですね！ 俺も今木製セルフボウを制作中でコツコツ削ってた最中です。弓作りの動画見てるとワクワクしてモチベーションが上がります(^_^)

A 1X2 yellow pine would have not been my first choice, but an excellent build video.

Love the process. Great stuff, but you couldn't whipe the glue before it dried? Talk about drama

hello a very interesting job I would like to try it too, I have a question what kind of wood did you use?

今回はグラスファイバーテープって素材を使ったんですね！ これを使うことでどういった効果があるのかはよく分かりませんが、今回の弓は今までの弓よりも威力が高く、矢の速度が速いように感じました！ やっぱり凄いですね！次回分も楽しみに待ってます！気付き次第見に来るのでよろしくです！

Interesting a possible quick fix sinew on the back of the bow just a thought. Good luck glad I found your channel

Honey! You sure did waste a lot of time carving off glue that you could have removed while it was wet?? Just wondering?? Fun build! Nice job😁

Nice craft. You making it better and better. Congrats. 👍 To make it stronger, you will need to use Glass fiber tape, double passed, with epoxy resin. You can make them more thin too, with the same powerful.

Sir Thank you for your video Very well done and very clear and to the point Your approach was simple and very clear Building a Bow with so very little equipment A block plane, a rasp a small hand saw and a simple utility knife , drywall fiberglass tape some wood glue and a C clamp Do not pay attention to all the negative comments that have been posted those people would find fault with the best makers they must really feel they have to put anything good down so they feel good about them self’s So So sad Keep up the good work and keep on learning It’s the same with me

great master, detailed and detailed. I'm proud of the master's skills

Is that the kakuri Block plane?

I think the bow is power full

Get buffalo horn and affix it to the innermost bow, just outside the hand grip, about 10" on either side. Use flexible resin to bond it and wind sinew or hemp around those sections then coat them with more resin. Let dry/cure for 72 hours. That will double the draw weight.

Your thinking and skills is very good. It is a nice bow and something to be proud of. Congratulations on a project well done. If you want a more powerful bow here is what I know. 1. Use a hardwood. Cypress, if like what grows in swamps in the U.S, will become hard with age. Hardwood is preferred. 2. Allign the grain to the curvature of the bow. If buying at retailer select a grain pattern accordingly. 3. Laminate thin strips to make up the limbs to add strength. 4. Use your tensioner jig to make a thinner and stronger bowstring. 'Serve' it with a dacron string. 5. Using a fiberglass resin with the appropriate mesh fabric will add strength and rigidity. What you used was a help but it is intended for house wall finishing with gypsum wallboard. You did a fantastic job with what you had to work with. Thanks for making the video.

Hi sime nice work done here...pleas find your stile to soot it...rigth now it looks like you use the south america arow and an norhamerican flat bow and shooting it asia stile???mongolian thump ring??to stop the sting hitting your hand ..make it a higher "stand" meaning shorten the sting by tweesting it ...make the arows schorter to your draw length..but this is just my opinion...have fun..

Key to successful board bow is board selection. Key to board selection is understanding wood grain and understanding what constitutes "good" grain pattern. This board is questionable, at best. See how grain runs off or comes onto board edges? Count the # of times. It is excessive. No backing, except another good board or maybe sinew, or strip of fiberglass (NOT fiberglass drywall tape) is going to assure success. Key to successful board bow is board selection. Good luck.

Woodglut comes with very useful plans with all the details you need.

Hello, congratulations is very good, would you give me the exact measurements and the type of wood

Has given me ideas especially during lockdown here in Victoria, Australia

Is pine wood?

Need to work on your tillering and use actual staves

Make the wood more thinner than the wood near the handle

I am same but not as recycled as you

What kind of wood did you use for the bow ?? Btw i like it very nice

You could ask kammer ammones for tips

Waaaaw

to make it power full use oak woof because it is so flaxibal and strong

Good effort 👍. You need a string not a rope 😉....and I very much doubt that ' fibreglass tape' works here. I am a few bows old and haven't made any over 20#...which is quite ok for fun shooting... good luck

To many biden commercials!!!!

Perfect bro 👍👍 but sick

I will try to do it with Woodbex plans.

Very good work using the only materials available. This is a great survival bow.

Looks like pine or cedar that you used, which arent very good wood types for a bow. its well built tho so if u want to add power i would recommend a better bow string and definitely add a couple layers for backing. if possible i would peel the layer you already have have off, and add bamboo instead. it also looks like your draw length is crippled so you might want to tiller the fades a bit more and taper off the tips of the limbs width wise. im an amateur bowyer so i dont have the most seasoned eyes, but thats my 2 cents

Ver nice work...I enjoyed watching your video and I will try to make a bow like this ❤

I admire crafters like you

🇧🇷👍🏻

so the tillering process that you went through was too short. the wood is too stiff and you need to make the limbs more flexible. if you want to also add more power to it you can make it a recurve or back it with sinew, bamboo, etc, after making the limbs more flexible

Just wondering why? You didn't sandwich the tape between two bits of pine?? ..nice job well-done!

Try pulling back more im not sure if you normally do but in that first clip you didn't pull back far enough

Znam się troche na temacie i mówie wam że prędkość szczały jest sjrajnie hojowa, cięciwa to praktycznie zwykły sznurek a facet chyba nie umi puszczać cięciwy

Salve . Che tipo di legno ha usato per costruire l'arco ? Le frecce come le costruisce ? Il filo dell'arco come di fa ?

今度、板材の2枚重ねとかで作ってみて下さい🙇‍♂️

I loved watching the build, but you should honestly never draw or shoot them tbh..

I shall watch your career with great interest.

Bro theate entha theate

Excuse me friend. What wood do you use to make the bow, what is it called?

Don't take any notice of the negative comments, good video and I learnt a lot and sure you did to.

Nice work 🙋 but can you tell me please how many its range?

The Fiberglass tape doesn't provide enough tensile stiffness. There aren't enough longitudinal fibers. There are some boatbuilding products(roving) that would work well and provide better stiffness. I remember reading, as a child, about an Indian who made a bow using sinew as a backing on a cedar bow. Cedar has excellent compressive strength and would work better, though the Spruce is pretty good.

これ接着してる時に滴り落ちてくるボンドって拭いた方がいいんですか？

I'd love to make a bow as good as that. I'd be proud to.

ちょうどロングボウを作っていたので助かりました。

lascia perdere, gli archi non fanno per te.. prova coi videogiochi, magari ti andrà meglio!!!

Me gustarían que pudieses alguna pizarra donde dijese el tipo de madera, el tipo de cemento o cola que usas y todo lo que pueda ir apareciendo. Los que observamos estamos en varios continentes. Gracias.

The new english warbow? Der Tramp den keiner fängt.!

Which will be better a bow from bamboo or from a wood

SALVE DO BRASIL

Do you live far

¿que madera utiliza en em video? Saludos de chile 👍👍

グラスファイバーの安全な使い方とかってありますか？

矢をつがえる部分は、弓を気切り欠き矢を乗せる部分を作っては？(レストと言います)本物のロングボウにはありますよ。 射形は映っていませんが、矢飛びは素直で上手く力が抜けているみたいで良いですね🎵 引き手の肘は、引き手の手首比で、平行～高い位置を保ってくださいます。 矢飛びが良くなりますよ。

🤜🤛😃👍🏿👍🏿👍🏿👍🏿👍🏿🔔👈

عاااااش

なんか飛びが悪い？？手作りだと限界あるんかね？

Я один русский?

Great

Good skill

Que tipo de madera es...parecería que es pino o como se llama

What wood did you use?

Esse é muito mais confiável.

It is not clear the pace

Nice chillout movie 😀

Thx for video lesson 👍

Nice piece of 1/4 sawn.

But what type of wood did you used... You have to say it, every type of wood is different

やっぱ木の方が威力上がるんだな。

Nice 👌👌

A really ugly bow
