[colonelmustang337]

I love sanding my bow in the bathroom

[gianni3868]

Brilliant mate - gr8 vid and excellent info - keep it coming

[MrMbierlein]

Sorry for posting these so much I am not spamming it's just that you and three other guys seem to know best and in a way that helps me the most. Could you do a tutorial on arrows that would help I mean I have three dowle rods that seem quite heavy and so it would help alot again thanks!!

[MrMbierlein]

Also can anyone please help me find the best way to hold, shoot, string. Aim and stand with a bow anyone one with video link or website URL is called upon thank you!!!

[MrMbierlein]

I have nearly got the skis and they are for 10$ same type as yours I am going to start maybe next holidays but before I do how long does your bow fire I hear a home made bow out of a branch can shoot 200m I'm thinking this bow might reach 300m or even 400m please tell I really need to know I may be doing archery as a hobby (you know the clubs and all that) thanks again for these two awesome tutorials.

[JorrellEmerick]

hey i was wondering if you still had your 1 to 1 size drawing of your take down bow you can email me cause ive been searching online for takedown bow riser patterns/templates and i cant find any 1 to 1 size drawings of them so if you would be able to email me yours thats would be awsome thanks

[meanman1992]

@JorrellEmerick have you looked at the link in the description, it's not 1 to 1 but it's to scale, so you can just scale it up if you want

[SirMidnightBravehear]

not yet but i am aboutto lol



[SirMidnightBravehear]

any good suggestions on where to get a riser design?

[meanman1992]

@SirMidnightBravehear have you tried the link in the description

[theindianahoosier]

Thanks!! Great video!! Mo need to spend hundreds of dollars on a bow,when vids like this show u how to for way less!

Plus,the satisfaction of shooting what u made yourself is priceless!!

[BespokeGroupUK]

Brilliant!! The more how to's you can do the better

[FrackleRackle]

[a2m4m60]

Wow that was an amazing tutorial!! Thank You very Much!!

[Libra609]

wasn't he in The Princess Bride?

[meanman1992]

@Libra609 haha this made my day, this is a bit of a running joke among my friends haha

[MrMbierlein]

My skis are called black diamond and they are $12 on eBay great price don't you think?

Also if you are having trouble finding cheap but in good condition skis look up on eBay "snow skis" check for about 5 pages i did this and I found 7 cheap skis all for $10-$15 good luck!!!!!!

[tokagekage]

wow, no dislikes!

[meanman1992]

@tokagekage yeah im going alright so far I hope it stays like that

[encorebass321]

hey i like your vid i am a big fan on bows but i havnt made any thing as complex as this i hope to make one next summer

[MrkBO8]

Its no wonder the tv stations are going broke

[MrMbierlein]

Day and how far does your bow go and what game can it kill because I might take up archery been thinking about it for years.

[MrMbierlein]

Liked for the 3 time

Thanks for replying so quickly it's a good thing to do because I mostly wait a month for a reply that says "yeah I'll check up on that wait a few days"

P.S your bow looks like a store bought bow I saw on eBay while looking up some cheap skis found 3 about $14.50 each and 3 bowstrings at about $8.00 I could make three bows and give two to my brothers:) thank you so much for your help I might have a few questions later but I might not since I am watching this vid every da

[encorebass321]

@MrMbierlein what were your skis called that you bought ?



[MrMbierlein]

I liked this is a great detailed tutorial it does seem rushed but only at the end of a sentence I also have a question could you use a single block of wood so their would be no need to glue?

[meanman1992]

@MrMbierlein yeah defiantly, I did mention that.

I laminate the timber just for aesthetic

[MrMbierlein]

@meanman1992 hey um i have finished my blue prints of my riser and these are the measurements height=46cm about 19 inches width=13cm about 6 inches i'm thinking about changeing the width to 15cm about 7 inches what would you suggest by the way this has been done on a computer not on paper because i had no sheet big enough for that size i downloaded a picture of a riser same as yours in video but coloured and i have shaped accouringly to the measurements above.

[MaximumNewbage]

Awesome tutorial excellent info attention to detail. The way you read your script makes it a little hard to hear though. Any chance you could post a link to the transcript of the tutorial?

[meanman1992]

@MaximumNewbage yeah thats a good idea ill do something about that when I get a moment

[blackdeathbd]

that was awesome !!!! i love bows - crossbows anything medieval :D i would spend a month if i could make one of these...but i dont even have half of the materials @@ great job man ... p.s where are you from ?

[meanman1992]

@blackdeathbd :) Wollongong Australia

[KG12Productions]

how much would you sell a riser for i would pay easly 40$ for one please let me knoe

[meanman1992]

@KG12Productions sorry mate $40 wouldn't come close to covering labor and materials plus I'm too busy, what's stopping you from making your own?

[ThePatient45]

Dude this video is great, ive always loved wooden risers, i have two shop bought ones myself and it would be great to have my own one made so i can say my bow is one of a kind! Its always appealed to me to make my own but i never knew where to begin (no wood work experience) but now i have a chance! Thanks mate this will be of great help!

[meanman1992]

@ThePatient45 :D no worries, if ya have go at it and run into any trouble send me a pm and ill help if I can, and id love to see the finished result!

[ThePatient45]

@meanman1992 Thanks for the offer, if i do ill let you know, and if i do 100% ill show you it when finished!

[Elvir335]

:D Great tutorial... How strong is this bow ?

[meanman1992]

@Elvir335 I got 33 pounds at 32inches but it would vary alot depending on the skis

[drake2590]

hey do you sell these because if you do you would be millionaire for the simple fact of you being a genius i would buy one and i know alot of people that would to i will definetly suggest this video to everyone i know thank you so very much for the video

[meanman1992]
