Chris, WOW, My Dad..... when we lived up at Lake Tahoe , he did Bow and arrow making, he did it just like you did in this video, It brings tears to my eyes, I spent quality time with my Dad making Archery equipment. I remember Deer Hunters come to my dad with orders for arrows with their custom Paint Rings ID, so they knew whose arrow was who"s, he made everything,m Bows, Arrows, Quivers, and Arrow Points out of a thin steel, he would cut to shape and then use a sand paper and wet stone to sharpen it. I Lost my Dad last year, I miss him, but I have these memories, thank you for adding to them, Archery making is a Noble Art . OMG that was my job, Collecting pine pitch, I can smell it now !
+Roberto Pechenino Thank you for sharing the memories of your father. It means a lot to me. I'm now wondering how you got all that pine sap off of your fingers? 😄
Chop With Chris I think it was Turpin Tine he used on my hands, I remember after a couple of gatherings, he got me a pair of Canvas gloves to wear when I went to collect with my stick & old paint can, He would heat the pitch up on a camp stove, when the pitch got runny like honey he would pour it through a screen to clean it out then it went into a smaller can like a putty can with a sealing tin lid. When he needed it, he would put the little can on a wire stand with a candle below it and it would get liquid in about 5 minutes, he also used hot glue, I remember when it was done dry & cool, he would put a coat of Varnish on it to seal it off. Hand made by an Artisan is always the best.
@@ChopWithChris theres more than one type of hickory what type do we use ? there are six major types of carya ,,, shag bark ,,, pignut ,,and pignut but there are a total of 19 species,,, can you help me please i just want to have the best ,,, oh heck maybe ill just go with one of the orange osage ,,, i dont know
@@ChopWithChris oh buy the way one of the best things to make arrow out of are rose bushes ,,,, old large rose bushes they are usually nice and straight and fairly hard
I really like that you show your mistakes and how you learned from them. Props to you for showing people it's okay to learn from where they went wrong in these kinds of projects!
this guy...Chop with Chris is so honest...he tell us what mistake he did which usually a normal maker never tell...maybe they are too cocky...i like ur videos...my pvc bow are just broke up two days ago...😢 im so sad it took 1 day to make it...it work so good...
+Chop With Chris im making a longbow from pvc pipe...its the broken one...i already subscribe ur video...i like it, and im waiting for more videos...☺😊
Very nicely done,a labor of love for sure.I learned so many places I went wrong when I tried to do this as a 14 year old kid.I may have to revisit my attempts at making one of these.I'm so glad you mentioned wood types and dimensions.Thanks for posting this Chris.It was fascinating like all your projects.
+Mr. Martial arts and You are most welcome. I've been reminded that my terminology was wrong. I was using pine sap. Pine Pitch is when you mix charcoal with it.
Man I even though it's hand made it still looked better then the ones you can buy at the store because nothing beats a classic wooden bow. Great job I enjoyed this video!
At age 68, I've just completed my first bow... 58 " elm, 49# @ 28 ", sinewed and snake backed. THANKS for this great video which was an easy way to remember what I forgot so quickly once I returned home. Tradron
I cut down trees for the logs,i hunt down crows for the feaders,i stole my mothers shoelaces for the string and i fight sharks for their teeth....this better work...
You have a great sense of humor, brother, equaled only by your skill as a craftsman. It's cool to see you learning as you go on this. I don't think anyone expects you to be a master bowyer or fletcher, so don't sweat those negative responses. Very cool.
+Chop With Chris Okay. Just one right now. On some other videos on youtube it says to have some growth rings exposed on the belly of the bow, should I do that
i have watched a few videos on how to make a bow and arrow and this is by far the most informative. i really like how you show how long it took you to make it. defiantly a good video for someone who has never done this before and isn't very good with measurements.
Thank you sir. I will be watching your videos over the next few months. We go camping every year as a family totally rustic camping in the woods. Even the wife deals with just a river for a bath for the better part of a week. This year's challenge is make a bow. I was successful in making one before though after I see yours mine just looked like kindling. It was a kid sized bow perfect for my son. I cheated for the wooden arrows and just bought dowels from Walmart. But that year was our year to bring the turkey to thanksgiving. We raised the turkey and I pulled a couple feathers off before butchering and u think super glued them onto the dowel. I didn't know whay else to do so I carved an arrowhead out of wood. I think I made another arrow using a lid from a soup can shaped into an arrowhead. Anyway!!! I was proud enough to show the guys at camp way back when and adults draw length overstressed the bow and it snapped. We are all doing it this year on our 24hr bushcraft that goes even further into the woods. I can't wait.
That sounds amazing. Have a great time. Here is another video where I used simple tools to make a bow from a scrap pallet. Good luck. ua-cam.com/video/d5GWpskm_IA/v-deo.html
You could probably make a bow string out of fishing wire, hemp wick, cotton from clothes (you're gonna have to braid it for extra strength though), leather strips from jackets, linen, animal sinew...etc. Pretty much any material that's strong yet flexible.
No it needs to be the opposite of flexible! The bow does all the flexing. It needs to be strong and unyielding. You can buy a spool of waxed dacron thread on Amazon and learn to weave a bow string. You can use hemp or flax etc.
isnt pine pitch supposed to be carbonized? hes just using pine sap. hes not cooking it down and adding charcoal and fiberous material... PS, wrote this halfway thru, guess he figured it out at the end..lol
I love his work..its really cool..as a kid i wuld say there are a very few men like him who dnt use technology in tools.he uses the old things.he is a emgineer who didnt bunk his classes
You sir are an amazing craftsman. You call yourself a rookie. Your a bloody legend from where I’m standing. Can’t wait to give this a go, however I will be doing it the lazy way with power tools and dowel foe the arrows. Thank you for the great video.
Good work Chris! I love your video and encourage you to keep doing what your talents are. You have helped me make things for my family and provide for them. Your regulations of trees people should hear Chris to harvest what is needed. Please never to stop making these videos!

Thank you, thank you, thank you! Believe it or not, but I am in Russia right now. Yep, you have folks who like your channel even here!!! Very informative video! Love it! Hail from Russia friend!!!!
I love all your old tools. What a great collection. I would think the cross-grain mounting of the arrowhead would help to ensure the arrow doesn't split when the arrowhead makes contact with a target despite how securely its mounted. Over time it might slowly work it's way into a split so I can see how the cross-grain mounting would be the recommended procedure.
Chris, first of all I would like to appreciate the wonderful job you have done. Secondly, thank you for educating me. You are awesome. I like the part where I noticed your expression when someone flushed the toilet and also when the phone rang. You just added some humour to your video. I liked that too. I would also like to tell you that your video is very much presentable and keep up the smile on your face. I like the part you mentioning where you went wrong and helping me understand what I should not do. To me this video was helpful, educating, interesting and flawless. Thank you so much ... oh yesss..1 more thing.I like your workshop too.
Well thank you very much for the feedback. I work very hard to make my video presentations very high quality for people like you. Take care. I hope you enjoy all my videos and more to come. Chris.
I like that you admit when you made a mistake and what to do instead. It may not have as strong a pull as you wanted but it sure looks and behaves very welll
man, I just watch tour video about crafting a bow... you're great man. I loved the fact that you left sequences like the toilet flushing :). I make recipes and video game reviewa on youtube and with a 2 years old boy and a girlfriend in the house while I'm filming, it can truly be a challenge ( and seriously, it's not always the kid who's the most "disturbing" of the 2 lol). Great job dude, good continuation
Chris, At 9:48 ... The way you do it is to put the string in one side, put that side on the floor, grab the string in your left hand, put the bow against your back, with the curve looking away from you, then cross your left leg in the frontal part of the bow to make sure it doesnt move, and grab the unstrung side with your right hand over your right shoulder. Then you bend the bow using your left leg, your butt, your back, and your right hand, while putting the string with your left hand. I know this because im an archery sport practician. Please like so Chris can see.
You do amazing work bud!! Thanks 4 taking the time to not just show how but to also explain why !! OMG .. Love the lath also!!! So creative !! You & my grand dad would have got along well!! Must be the "Irish" blood!! DEv

Chop With Chris MY Dad had this smelly gas stuff that would wipe it off, and my fingers would get raw. Funny you should ask !
+Roberto Pechenino Gas is what I used. I was hoping he had an home recipe that didn't eat my skin.

What would be the best string to use for this?
+Akili KiKi To be honest I looked up on line and called an archery shop who gave me a recommendation.
sausage string works great
You could probably make a bow string out of fishing wire, hemp wick, cotton from clothes (you're gonna have to braid it for extra strength though), leather strips from jackets, linen, animal sinew...etc. Pretty much any material that's strong yet flexible.

Bacon string works best, on a serious note, I use kite string as I have loads of it. You have to use what you have at hand

Thank you, thank you, thank you! Believe it or not, but I am in Russia right now. Yep, you have folks who like your channel even here!!! Very informative video! Love it! Hail from Russia friend!!!!
So glad you enjoyed it! I hope you enjoy all my videos. I have 1050 subscribers from Russia!
That was really informative, I had no idea what tillering was and I didn't know it was important to the overall design. Excellent video!
+Joshua Booth Thanks
Very comprehensive, and a joy to watch
Thanks.
You are a good teacher, thanks for your detailed build along.
Thanks. I just released another bow video that you may also find helpful.
i don't get tired of watching this its awesome cx
+Jennifer :3 Thanks. More to come.
Dammit Chris, this may be an older video but I found this to be the most entertaining! I loved it.
+Mikhail Galatinov Thanks!
It may not be perfect, but it's a damn beautiful bow, and certainly one to be proud of.
+Christian Owens Thanks
Chop With Chris I hope that didn't come off as slightly insulting lol
+Christian Owens Not at all. No worries
You re a master of making of springs
?
I love all your old tools. What a great collection. I would think the cross-grain mounting of the arrowhead would help to ensure the arrow doesn't split when the arrowhead makes contact with a target despite how securely its mounted. Over time it might slowly work it's way into a split so I can see how the cross-grain mounting would be the recommended procedure.
+Jeff Chartier Thanks. That was a big mistake on my part not going cross grain!
You are the genius. Luis of Argentina.
Its about time some one said and followed thru with in detail 👌💯✔

Thanks. I’m just glad I didn’t fall on my axe!
Chris, first of all I would like to appreciate the wonderful job you have done. Secondly, thank you for educating me. You are awesome. I like the part where I noticed your expression when someone flushed the toilet and also when the phone rang. You just added some humour to your video. I liked that too. I would also like to tell you that your video is very much presentable and keep up the smile on your face. I like the part you mentioning where you went wrong and helping me understand what I should not do. To me this video was helpful, educating, interesting and flawless. Thank you so much
... oh yesss..1 more thing.I like your workshop too.
Well thank you very much for the feedback. I work very hard to make my video presentations very high quality for people like you. Take care. I hope you enjoy all my videos and more to come. Chris.
What a fantastic video! You trying to catch a goose cracked me right up 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂👍
Thanks. It was a little crazy for sure.
Entertaining, educational, and funny. Great video.
Thanks. I recently made another bow making video you may want to check out.
I like that you admit when you made a mistake and what to do instead. It may not have as strong a pull as you wanted but it sure looks and behaves very welll
Thanks!
man, I just watch tour video about crafting a bow... you're great man. I loved the fact that you left sequences like the toilet flushing :). I make recipes and video game reviewa on youtube and with a 2 years old boy and a girlfriend in the house while I'm filming, it can truly be a challenge ( and seriously, it's not always the kid who's the most "disturbing" of the 2 lol). Great job dude, good continuation
+michupichu007 Thanks! Wow. You have a noisy house for sure!!! But it's worth it!!
Chris, At 9:48 ... The way you do it is to put the string in one side, put that side on the floor, grab the string in your left hand, put the bow against your back, with the curve looking away from you, then cross your left leg in the frontal part of the bow to make sure it doesnt move, and grab the unstrung side with your right hand over your right shoulder. Then you bend the bow using your left leg, your butt, your back, and your right hand, while putting the string with your left hand. I know this because im an archery sport practician. Please like so Chris can see.
+Samuel Montenegro Serniotti I'll take a look
Great. It will make your life a lot easier! Never forget to unstring the bow after use!
Youre the first i ever give a like.
+Cloud Heaven Thank you. I am honored.
