    I know I'm a little late to show, but I just found this channel about a week ago. That being said, I've been watching Clay Hayes for a couple years out of pure enjoyment. I never really thought about making my own bow, since I'm a wheelie bow guy and got frustrated trying to get into traditional with too heavy of a recurve. But after finding this channel, your enthusiasm got me to start making my own. In fact, just started my 1st bow (maple board bow w/ mahogany handle) a couple days ago. My goal is to just have a lightweight longbow 35# that I can work on my form and get back to by recurve. I will be happy if it doesn't blow up in the 1st 6 months.

    Dude. Thank you so much for what you do. Quick story. I watched your video on making a laminated board longbow by accident the other night just letting auto-pay do it's thing. The next day, i found a board lying in the road...a poplar board of all things. So, i picked it up, took it home and have started to make one as well. I'm actually at Lowe's now getting a 2x4 for my tillering board. Thanks man. I'm super stoked about making this bow, and am relying on your awesome videos and extensive knowledge to guide me along the way. I'm a recovering addict, and doing things like this keeps me occupied and busy. It's definitely therapeutic for me, and without you...I wouldn't be able to have this project. Thank you man. You have a much larger impact than you can possibly imagine.

    You always say "Thank you!" at the end of every video, but truthfully, thank you! Your videos are fun and educational. My eldest daughter wanted to shoot bow after watching Brave. Man did I think I was in trouble. I'm pretty proficient with firearms and compound bows. But only in the boring tactical food gathering. You and your brilliant personality has helped me get closer to my daughter's hobby. You have made archery and making bows a truly fun experience for us. I wish you the best of hands and thank you for all you have done. We will continue to enjoy your videos.

Seriously, some of my favorite content on the internet that I genuinely look forward to.

    This video like all of your others is brimming with infectious enthusiasm This video is timely for me as I have just completed a bow blank ready for tillering. Incidentally, I am trying an experiment . I ripped the 3/4 x 1- 1/2 stave down to 1/2 thick.. I then saved the remaining 1/ 8 thick strip and cut a 16 inch and a 12 inch piece and feather sanded 2 inches on each end . I then cut the standard 3/4 x 1- 1/2 x 8 handle, and then laminated the 3 pieces onto the 1/2 inch thick stave. What may you ask did I get for all that work? I got a perfectly feathered fade from the 8 inch handle to the 1/2 inch thick stave. and uniform thickness limbs. It seemed to me that getting that fade correct and reducing the rest of both limbs to a uniform 1/2 inch thickness with a draw knife is one of the trickier tasks of the build. Ripping to 1/2 inch thickness ensures a uniform thickness for both limbs. I guess this could be called a semi laminated bow. The upcoming tillering process will either validate this experiment or prove the error of my ways. Keep up the great videos. Good video productions take a lot of work and you are really great at it. Thanks for sharing.

There are also some Osage Orange trees in several of the local parks, ( gotta find a way to get a hold of some of limbs without getting in trouble ).😂

The original plan for this bow was to make it out of solid Brazilian walnut (ipe) and after I watched your newest Will It Bow episode I was a little annoyed that I picked ipe😅. I’m not planning on giving up tho, so basically, if you have any tips or tricks to help my bow not break like the first one that would be sick. Ps my original plans were to make a recurved solid ipe bow with a fiberglass tape backing, so if u could help a brother out that’d be nice 👍
