Title: Making a selfbow video series
Post by: Ranger B on September 30, 2011, 01:38:00 PM
It's been a long time since these were up there and there are a lot of new folks here who may not have seen them.  They've gotten a lot of positive feedback so I thought I'd post them again.  Click on the link below to watch part 1.  When part 1 finishes it should give you the link to part 2.  There are 9 segments of less than 10 min. each in the series.  I hope they are helpful to some of you.

I agree, he has done our bench here a great service. Many new comer's will learn tons and even some of us that are more experienced pick up on little tricks to enhance our skills. We should bump this series "TTT" every month. Its got my vote!

I am glad it is useful guys.  It could have been much better with a better camera and cameraman but there just wasn't anything out there to show the work so I did the best I could with what I had.

Excellent videos. Thanks. I've been thinking of a stave bow for some time now and your videos have made some aspects of stave bow building clear to me now. If a picture is worth a thousand words, then a video must be worth a million. You can't have too much good information when you're a beginner.

Well I got 3 of the down. Was unable to watch soon but I am in a place with faster internet in the MWR. So far I wish I had watched them a long time ago.
Thanks,
Sir
