"How to make a primitive bow" Video
« on: January 01, 2011, 11:53:07 pm »
Hey guys,

I've gotten a bunch of requests from people on youtube wanting me to make a series of videos showing how to make a primitive bow, so I obliged.  I just posted part 1 tonight and wanted to post a link here so ya'll could watch it and tell me what you think.  Additional videos will follow in the future, just as soon as I get them done and edited.  Keep in mind this is not so in-depth that it becomes boring.  At least I hope not! 

Anyway, the link is below.  If you don't learn anything from it, at least it can be a nice little distraction while the boss isn't around and breathin' down your neck!!

Very well put together. Do you need a tillering gizmo for when you get serious about tillering? I will send you one if you want one.

Nice!  Looking forward to the rest.  Seems like it's about the right mix of showing what needs to be shown without getting too drawn out.  That's one of the neatest pieces of osage I've seen.  I can't seem to find any like that around here.  All ours look like a plate of blended spagetti.

Cool. I've been wanting to do something like this myself for a while now but never seem to have the time. Also liked your hunting video, are you running the camera your self durring the hunting one? I've tried that myself a few times and it is no easy task to pull that off.
Its November, I'm gone hunt'in.......
Osage is still better.....

The hunting one is great also. The part where you hit your head is pretty funny. Good job
