Making wooden arrow shafts (Power tools)
Вставка

- This video shows the process of making traditional wooden arrow shafts, but with the help of modern power tools. In this fashion, I can process a lot of stock material in an efficient manner. There is a lot of waste in this manner, but overall the time process makes it worth it.

Again thanks To Martin for giving people something nice to listen to in this video.
Good to see you showed the sorting. Not every blank is suitable for an arrow
Thanks. Certainly not, in a good batch with a bit of planning when cutting. Approximately 30% are useful straight away. And if I include footings another 10% can be added to the batch.
Oh my gosh, that's really look fun.
I love you man , this method I like I will definatly try it !
Good luck! it has saved me a lot of time.
Nice tools... 😍😍😍
Yes they are! thanks
I love this. I just built my first traditional long bow. And now I need arrows. I love your setup here. Would love to discuss more with you about your arrow making.
All right!!!! Man
Im shocked how well that works. Must generate a lot of heat.
It does generate a “little” and when making many it is important to take regular breaks, otherwise the thermal extension actually messes with the final shaft dimensions…

I want to use this wood rounding machine you used. But where and how can I get it?
Hi, It is the Veritas dowel jig. It is sold via various outlets, so best to google and see where it is available for you.
May I ask where you got your dowel tool?
Veritas.
Are you looking for a certain number of rings per inch of wood to know I the wood will be usable for arrows?
No, but I am looking at the straightness of the grain.
Hi man.
What kind of tool are you using?is it a Veritas dowels tool?
What size are you using?
Thanks
The veritas tool yes. and i start with the 1/2 inch and then the 3/8
Where can we buy the device you use to make the square shafts into round shafts? The device shows up in this video at 4:33 to 10:00 mins.
Google is a wonderful thing.
@@zapa1pnt True although you kind of need to know what your looking for to google it.

Are you using reclaimed pine furniture to make them? Really like your set up for this
These are reclaimed materials from a recent house renovation job I was on. Mostly wood panelling. There is a mix of pine and spruce. I sort them in separate piles in the sorting stage.
@@ullrscrafts6045 thats a great way to do it. Thanks!
You are welcome!
Wish you would explain the sorting proceedure ... we have to guess which pile is good, which is maybe,... and which is not acceptable.... other than that, a very nice video...!-
That is fair, this isn’t really a tutorial, more a showcase of the process. But yeah I could have added that. The three to the left are the good ones if I remember correctly.
Where can I get one of those giant pencil sharpeners🤣
Veritas re-sellers.
What is the name of the tool that sharpens the arrow?
It is the veritas taper tools
Hello what sort of wood are You using?
Why is You only making shafts from square wood peaces?
Is Nordic Pine a possibility in the form as 'round logs'? if not, why then?!?
"Why is You only making shafts from square wood peaces?"
It is difficult (impossible), to make round cuts, on a table saw.
These shafts are spruce. They come from the square as they are sawn from reclaimed planks. And as has been pointed out sawing is hard to do in a round. However you can cork out of split shafts or saplings. Might do a video on it when spring comes around.
Did you make the shaft planer? Can that tool be made cheaply? (The device to round out the square shafts)
Very nice video. Also you are a good worker. Thumbs up.
No the shaft planer is a dowelplaner from Veritas
@@ullrscrafts6045what size are you using and what final size do you plane or sand to?
Hello, you sell arrows 5/16 40#45 pounds with shipping to Argentina, if so, what value, including shipping
Apologies for not responding earlier, I do make the arrows, will have to check up on the shipping if you still are interested.
@@ullrscrafts6045 Hello, how are you, 12 5/16 shafts are worth 40/45 pounds with shipping to Argentina
@@ullrscrafts6045 Yes I am interested, but I must know the costs, shipping included
Hello i am intereses, bat i need to know the price including shipping.
Do you sell wooden arrow shafts
I don’t sell shafts, but i do sell complete arrows.
Lose the gloves when working on a circular saw,
No worries, know what i am doing, there was a reason for the gloves, and they were no where near the blade ;)
@@ullrscrafts6045 Thanks. That’s what happens when you work for a safety supply company. Be safe mate!
No problem, it’s good you keep an eye out on safety. 😉
Γειά σου φίλε μου από τι ξύλο είναι? ευχαριστώ
Believe it to be cedar
He says a mix of pine and spruce that he separated into different piles.
As Andrew says, it is a mix of pine and spruce, variouse bits of wood from a construction site
i tried doing this with a wet hazel branch and it just chewed it up and twisted it in half. lol
I suspect (don't Know), the same thing would happen with Osage Orange, wet or dry.
So a couple of things here.
1. This process is no good for branches, I might make one on how I treat branches at some point.
2. Regardless of what wood you use, it needs to be seasoned and dry for it to be processeable with power tools.
3. Osage is a great bow wood, not a good arrow wood. So if you have access to decent Osage I’d rather make a bow out of it.
Why two size dowel cutters why not just use the 3/8 to start
Because, the material he started with was 1/2" thick and he had to cut it square, to properly clamp it in the 4 jaw chuck on his lathe.
Also, cutting the 1/2" material in 3/8" strips, then making a second cut, to square them to 3/8", is both time consuming and dangerous.
That is correct.
you could sell your shavings to pet store s...
They go to friends that use it for heating in the winter.
Gloves and no riving knife. Nope. Safety first. 0:56 the board almost flipped back on you.
I have mentioned this in an earlier comment. There was a reason for the glows. I have worked a long time with wood and while I acknowledge, don’t do this unless you know what you are doing.
You probably click on UA-cam videos just to see if you can call them out on safety. Get a life, dude...
Never knew planks were used and just cut into shape by a pencil sharpener.
It is by no means the only way to do it. It is not the traditional way. And those that do it on large scale use more advanced tools. But for a small to medium scale production it works well.
All you see is a guy turning wood, no explanation of what tool is used, totally useless.
Seems to be a BIG secret on what tool being used. Too bad for the tool maker
Depends, I do not pretend to teach. I only show what i do, if people enjoy watching that, I very much appriciate it. There are tons of educational videos on woodworking. this channel is not one. This is just a guy working with wood, and making videos about it.
Or Stivie, I just ain`t that often here checking the comments :) I have answered the question multiple places, it is Veritas`s dowelmaker. And i doubt they suffer in sales from a small guy like me being late to reply. Hope that satisfied your curiosity :)
Y’all are lazy af….took 30 seconds to find this. “Tool for arrow shafts” bam first link….be better stop being lazy and creating terrible comments
@@tmarshmellowt: Absolutely! As I tell many people, posting such foolish comments, "Google is a wonderful thing".
