nice job I plan on building my first long bow soon. I liked the way you used the drimel tool to cut thru the glass, I wasn't sure how I was going to do that. Thanx, Rob L
I greatly admire the fact that you built your clamping form out of steel. That took a lot of work, patience and attention to detail. It shows in your final product. Very well done. Your video is one of the more professional I have searched for. I say this as a retired tool and die maker. I noticed you used a torque wrench for the final tightening. May I ask, how many foot pounds did you apply on the final tightening? Keep up the fine work and stay safe.
Thanks for the compliment. It does take a lot of time to make jigs out of steel but they’ll last forever. I torque everything between 10-12 lbs. I use a cheap Harbor freight wrench so I’m not sure how accurate it is. I wouldn’t use a good one though because it gets glue all over it.
@@Makingitwild ; Outstanding. One of my main functions as a machinist was building all kinds of jigs and fixtures. I know what kind of time it takes to design and then execute the build. So, when I look at that jig you built I know the effort that went into it. I truly appreciate the information. Beautiful bow by the way.
I see in a comment further down that the form was made by someone else... But my question is..... How in the world can a steel be shaped in such a way and still be squared, smooth and proper? From what I could see..... It's perfect... I love everything about the form and the clamps. The entire build is great!
I get it from Binghams project, Big Jims archery, or kustom kind’s archery. There are a couple other suppliers that carry it as well. Most people use either Gordon’s glass or bear paw.
Most people use a fire hose to clamp and it’s faster but the style in this video has more control over specific spots. A vacuum system would work but would require a really strong vacuum pump to get the right clamping strength and the bag would need to be odd shaped. It’s definitely doable but I’ve never seen anyone use it.
@@Makingitwild I love bubinga in the riser not only does it look great but it’s also a heavy enough wood for shot feel . I would like to see someone use king wood as an accent stripe with it. What are you using for your limb tips micarta or G10 ?
I didn't know you could use bamboo too make slats! How is this done? I'm surrounded by the stuff. I usually just make backed bows with it, but I'm trying to get into glass bows now. Would you consider making a video?
After you split the bamboo like you would for backing you can run it through a plainer or sander to flatten out the nodes and get the thickness you want. I hope this helps.
Please, I need the measurements of the mold to know what the undulations are like. would you be so kind as to measure the base of the wood up to the cut? This way I can mark the points and proceed to do it myself
I am just building my hot box now. I noticed you used a baseboard heater instead of light bulbs I have a few of those lying around. Did you have to do anything special to make that work? I've built lots of self bows, but I'm just getting into building fiberglass.
The heater is wired into a dryer thermostat similar to the way you do light bulbs. There isn’t much difference between the two other than you don’t have to worry about breaking the bulbs and you can get it more compact.
Interesting build, I've been a hobby boyer for almost 20 years I always enjoy watching other people's methods. The one question I have is about your finish is it a super glue acetone finish I've always used thunderbird epoxy finish and just looking for alternatives.
The superglue is used as a sealer when the wood isn’t stabilized. It works good to fill any pores but most of it gets sanded off. I use Campbells krystal for a finish most of the time. It’s not as durable as thunderbird but I like the way it looks and feels better plus it’s way easier to apply and drys in about 30 minutes. I also like to see other peoples work. Is there a place I could check out your bows?
@@Makingitwild I'm on Facebook there are a few pictures of my most recent bow that I used to take a doe and 10pt this season. The bow is 49lbs Osage lams. with a maple core, the riser is 18" made out of zebra wood with a purple heart I beam. This is the lightest bow I've ever made , I hade my third shoulder surgery this past spring and doubt I'll go back to shooting anything much heavier. If you would like other pictures let me know. Thanks for your reply.
It takes a few bows to figure out the poundage and thickness of the laminations. Binghams projects has a chart that will get you in the range but it depends on your limb design. Takedowns are about the same difficulty but add a few steps and time. If it’s your first bow I would say one piece would be better to save some time and if you hit the weight you want you could build a similar one in a takedown. Good luck with your build.
Did you learn this through trial and error or through some kind of instruction? I'm looking to get into making bows for myself and some direction to start would be awesome! Bow looked great !
The first 6 or so I built with trial and error. They shot just fine but didn’t have the performance I was looking for. After that I had the opportunity to build one with a bowyer and applied what I learned from him and put my own twist to it. I still play around with different designs and concepts. If I could give you advice I would say to just jump in and start building one. It took me 6 years to build the first one because I thought I needed all the tools and wanted to make the first one perfect but it’s better to just jump in and do it even if you don’t have it all figured out. Good luck.
Great work and craftmanship. Do you sale bows as well or just make them? I've never owned a longbow before, but have been browsing around, this turned out so well, it looks better than a lot of the high price longbows on sites like 3Rivers and Lancaster. Top quality work Ty.

If you’re not selling them, could I please have one of your project bows? I would be happy to buy all of the material in order to make the bow. What you do, I could never do, you are truly an artist and a great builder. It appears that you have been doing woodwork your whole life! I was never that blessed, my dad worked for forty years in a Fridgidare factory and never had the time or energy to do projects like these! Thank you for your video, it is inspirational. I was just kidding about the bow!!!
Hi there,could u explain why do u not use fire hose ? I started built bows myself and got a problem with hoses was looking for other solution and found ur video.Could u tell us a bit more about ur system ? Seems to bu much more sure than blowed tube.
The clamping system is an older method than the fire hose. It’s slower to get everything clamped but you have more control. You can make sure things aren’t shifting and can apply more pressure where needed. You can use it on wood forms if you drill holes everywhere you need a clamp.
I've been watching a bunch of long bow making videos since It's a project I really want to tackle. Why the cling wrap during glue ups? It keeps coming up in videos
The plastic wrap helps keep the form clean. When you compress everything there is always a lot of squeeze out and to avoid it gluing the bow to the form you need some kind of barrier. People use different things but I’ve found that the cheap Saran Wrap works good. Good luck with your project.
@@Makingitwild Makes sense, I've done a considerable amount of epoxy casting, my go to has always been red tuck tape, but I can see how this makes sense in this application, thanks for the reply!
I’ve built a few different styles of forms but the one in the video came from a bowyer that was retiring. I did build the clamp. This style isn’t as fast as the fire hose that’s more common but you have more control of clamping pressure.

@@Makingitwild ; Yes, thank you. I have been wanting to build my own bow for decades but just never managed to find the time. I am retired now and have a long bucket list. Sadly, Hurricane Michael destroyed my shops so rebuilding is taking all my efforts. I knew about the heat box system and have a lot of info on that. Thank you for responding.
I check tiller multiple times through the process but most of it didn’t get shown on the video. I usually don’t have a problem with tillering because I’ve learned the hard way that if you get your lamination right and you have a good limb design it’s not an issue. If you’re working on a bow just make sure your laminations match and your wedges are even and it shouldn’t be far off. I hope this answers your question. Good luck with your build.
@@Makingitwild I think this is also related to the way you built the limbs. I watched a lot of vids of people building the whole bow from a sincle piece of wood, so they need to hollow out the belly of the limbs by tillering. So maybe theres the difference, since you already started out with limbs at the correct thickness... right?
@@orvilkeimig3528 that’s correct. With laminated bow you have more control. When you’re working on a self bow you have a lot of variables outside your control that you have to contend with.
That’s probably one of the hardest parts of building a bow. If you go to Bingham’s archery website there is a chart that will get you in the ball park but every limb design and form will have different results. Even the type of wood will play a role in the draw weight. What most people do is keep good notes from every bow you make so you can use it on the next one. If you plan on making a bow just plan on making more. It takes the same amount of tools to make one as it does to make more. Good luck with your build. I hope it helps. Bingham’s also sells kits for everything you need if you want to go that route.
@@Makingitwild I don’t think that for one bow you need as many tools and machine tools as for their production .. You can buy lamellas, fiberglass top .. It remains to glue everything and grind
@@hibahprice6887 you definitely don’t need as many tools to make a bow as I use. Really you can get away with a rasp and some sand paper but by the time you put effort into making a form and getting everything together you’ll have what you need to make more bows.
I can’t remember when or why I started using oil based stain. I’ve never had an issue with it but I let it dry for 24hrs and clean it until you can’t get any more color out of it. Same as oily woods. I’m not recommending you try it but it works for me. I definitely think water based has less chance of failure.
That looks a great bow. My only question is in the terminology of your description. I don't mean to be pedantic but these days everyone, is getting this detail wrong. I am moved to comment in the hope that we can all get on the same page. That is the traditional page. Traditionally speaking, a bow is described from the handle or riser outwards to the tips. A Reflex Deflex bow when strung has a double curve. Wooden bows often turn out this way when using natural backset. Your bow is not this shape, it is a 'Deflex Reflex' bow. My old coach once described to me a flight bow he made. It was a 'Reflex Deflex Recurve' bow. I knew exactly what he meant as I was reading the description according to the standard. Modern made asiatic horsebows fit that description. The average modern recurve bow, to be fully descriptive is 'Deflex Reflex Recurve'.
You are correct in what your coach told you. Even though it is the wrong terminology people still say reflex deflex. I’m not sure if it’s a regional thing but you don’t hear deflex reflex as often. It’s similar to asking for a coke at a restaurant. Where i live that just means you want a soft drink and not a coca-cola. Some call it soda others call it pop but we all know what it means. Thanks for your comment and hopefully it will clear up some questions if people are confused. I’ll still call it a Reflex/ Deflex even though it is incorrect.
