Fascinating video with a great life message. To succeed at anything, you need to fail multiple times. It took me 20 years to sell my first story, and some of those rejection letters hurt, but they all directed me to perfect my craft. Thank you for letting us watch you grow in your own talent.
Thanks for making this video, Miles! You really know your stuff, man. At first, I thought you were gonna just go with a bodkin tip, but when you drew it out, I thought, awesome! I have made a few bodkins myself, and I have found that the thinner you make the socket, the less likely it is your arrow will break during target practice. That being said, you know what you are doing, man, and I think you could seriously turn this channel into a thriving business. Good luck, my friend, and great job!
@Skellik, Thank you for the suggestion! I will definitely give that a lot of thought! Let me ponder that a while, and see what I come up with. Thanks again! God bless, -Miles Forge
@PRLake007.1, I would need to work on improving my technique first. I will be opening an etsy shop soon, so in time I may post them there. Regards, God bless, -Miles Forge
@srejcz, Great question! The first time I heated it and put the arrow broadhead (the time that flames came out) I was "hot-fitting" the arrow. This quickly burns away the wood so the arrow fits snug. In doing this; however, I got the arrow head a little too hot and it burnt a little too aggressively. Thus the large amount of burning. Yep! The second time I heated it I put hot glue in the head and heated it so the cold steel wouldn't harden the glue before I put the arrow in; however once again, I overheated it. Thus the smoke and bubbles. Thank you for the question!! Regards, God bless, -Miles Forge

Amazing video! You’re content gets better with every upload! (Not to say it wasn’t already amazing)
Do you think you can make a video or something about the different steel types

Why do you preheat the arrow head and put the wooden stick inside? And then glue together? Thank you for your answer :)

@MilesForge Interesting, I must try that, thanks!
Do you have an Etsy shop?
@mikeyheltonjr,
At the moment, no. However, I am currently in the process of setting it up, so, I will hopefully have it up within the next week.
@MilesForge awesome don't forget to link it to your UA-cam home page so everyone can see it when they go to your channel.
