Impressive first bow...a hecka lot better than my first attempt lol.

Looks like you can still lose some weight off it and spread some bend to the inner limbs.  From the video it looks like u are overbowed and shaking towards the end of the draw.  Rather lose some weight off and learn good form so you don't get stuck on bad habits

I'm overwhelmed with all your support, insight, and eagerness to share knowledge! Thanks for all your tidbits, I'm sorry for not addressing you all personally but I got something from each one of your posts. I have built a tillering mechanism out on my shed, in regards to what Eric Krewson was saying, hopefully that will help me achieve more even, symmetrical bends the next time around. I will also be picking up a scale from wal-mart as Johnston suggested. To everyone else, I cannot wait to create another one, thanks so much for the encouragement!

very nice work ,i know how much effort it takes to make a bow,keep at it you will get better.one thing i noticed is the lower limb is bending more towards you,have you tried shooting it the other way up,cos on longbows the upper limb is very slightly more bendy than the lower one,dont ask me why ive struggled with this for years i just except it.
