Fire hardening bows

[DC]

There have been a few people post bows that they made using this DVD. They seemed quite pleased. I went looking for the site to buy the DVD. It's beyond me, I can't find a place to order it but then modern websites tend to confuse me.
Also a while back there was a long post about this and a few people promised an expose on the method. Nothing has materialised.

I found it. Can someone explain to me what a "streaming version" is?

[PatM]

You're just paying to watch it like an online movie.  You can just order the DVD from Shannon Outdoors if you want the actual DVD.

[DC]

Do you just get to see it once for the $29 or is it stored on your hard drive? What happens when your hard drive dies? I stopped caring about how computers works when I retired, now it's coming back to haunt me

[PatM]

I could not tell you but it seems likely you would be saving it somehow.

Dc I bought the streaming version. You can set up a password just like here and watch it over and over, just have to log in.

When you buy the streaming version, you can watch it on their website as often as you want. You do not get to download the file, but you can log back in and watch it over and over.

I wrote a detailed review of the film on one of the threads where people were discussing it.

i dont know, from reading threads it sounds like just a really really deep heat treat over a fire.

Yeah, I'm not sure it's worth $30 just to find that out. Probably spend the $30 on one of those silicone heating pads

From the looks of it, its nothing new. I was doing that back in 2011 and posted about it on another page. I was using it to speed dry a bow stave I had cut days before. It does work great, but the hassle is also a pita.

this worked well with arrows and darts so I widened the slot for my next bow.

Agreed, I’ve seen it. And it’s nothing new.

Now that's brilliant!

Amazing what a photo can do, without the need for a DVD. This is even more inventive than coals. I'm really liking the ingenuity here.

I'm rather annoyed with their claim of it being forgotten, and only they discovered it, so I dug up one of a few posts where I mentioned it back in 2011. I did note how hard the wood got. I think the heat treat did that, as it sat over coals all night. 

I figured I'd better put up or shut up... So
