- Polishing my arrow makings skills. It's one of the first sets I've made. Still a lot of lessons to be learnt. This set was made with the use of birch dowels and turkey feathers.

I likes your all steps for making beautiful hand made arrow.
Glad you enjoyed the video!
A little tip, you can use steam to get those feather really smooth and repair the damage done with manipulation and constant shooting,
Thanks for the tip! Have to try it
Best arrows ive made are from small diameter bamboo, you should try it out
Thanks for the tip! Sure I will
Great craftmanship as always
Thank you appreciate it!
I was to focused, then the pencil sharpener appeared and I just died xD
Really usefull, thanks a lot.
You're welcome 👊
Well done! Good craftmanship.
Thank you sir!
Great videos!
Appreciate it!
A jig for cutting self-nocks is available from 3 Rivers Archery, which includes a slot for horn/wood reinforcing, perpendicular to the string cut
Thanks for the tip! I'll check it out
Good job...
Thank you!
It's a shame that you had to waste so many dowels. The craftsmanship involved in making those arrows is impressive- good work!
Yes, few of them had decent grain. Thank you!
You don’t spine your arrows?
Good
Thanks 👊
How are the threaded ends holding up? Anyone got any tips for that? I think it looks beautiful but on my arrows the thread broke after a while. I painted the thread on it in the end but real thread looks way better!
Bạn cho mình hỏi gỗ bạn làm mũi tên là gì vậy, cảm ơn nhiều.
😊😊❤❤
What is the weight of these arrows??
Ein Bausatz für alle Fälle!?!? DTdkf.!
Please tell me you do actually have a fletching tool? doing the feathers with hand is impressive!
I don’t use fletching tool. My fletching work is far from perfect
I put plastic nocks on mine. They are fairly cheap
💪💪
Were did you buy the dowels and what diameter are they? Really awesome video by the way!
Thank you! Bought them online from archery shop, but most of them were useless.
Great videos! What diameter and length are the dowels?
Thank you! 8mm
Can boiled linseed oil work instead of a water base varnish?
Yes sir 👊
Where did the points come from?
Bought them online
You forgot to show us cutting the knocks ACROSS THE END GRAIN
😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮
You don't make your own shafts?
Usually I make - from hazel or dog rose shoots
Bekommt jetzt jeder einzelne Pfeil einen Namen, nachdem man durch den ganzen Aufwand eine derartig enge Beziehung zueinander hat?
Ich frage für einen Freund.
No, but usually I name my bows

Then I was already close.
Should have been called 'Assembling Arrows'. You didn't make anything.
Haha, thats nonsense. There's skill and attention involved and with the color and thread something unique is added. That's good enough for me. Let alone the fact that before you start you have to think about the points, feathering and colors and what the length and width of the arrow needs to be to fit you're particular bow and draw.
