Boomerang making (english version)

[MyKungfuchannel]

the music scared me a little

[counterpunch101]

Almost all of these are kylies or kill sticks, non-returning. This design came first. A kylie's design gave way to using much heavier, denser wood thus more distance, accuracy, & killing or stunning power. Later, they tweaked the design & found by using gyroscopic precession a lighter, thinner "rang" could be used to down birds. If a missed occurred it returned. No boomerang EVER returns after hitting a target, but that's cool. You just retrieve it with your freshly taken KFC. Make one!

@counterpunch101: I'm sorry, but I fully understood your message. You do it. Then you show me.

[counterpunch101]

@febi51 You're sorry... for what exactly? Did you mean "I'm sorry, but I [didn't] fully under..."?

[pucikam]

nice to look at, but do they fly? some of them seem to be returners, some not returners. I´m making returners and found a lot of appropriete branches as: oak, beech, birch, alder, plum , cherry, apple, blackthorn, honeybeam, pine, ash...

[febi51]

@pucikam well. Great choice of wood species.

Boomerangs of my video come back all. (scusa me for my bad english...)

[Landotter1]

Stunning woods. Great work bro!!! I'd like to make some of both "hunting" and "come-back" types but need more information before I get started. Can you point me in the right direction? Just don't throw those things at me! :-D haaaaa

[Baphirok]

So, I'm also a fan of boomerangs and did some myself, but out of plywood, but i want to get my own wood from the forest since i live right next to one, so am i able to take nearly every wood?, or are there only specific types of wood that can be used?

[febi51]

@Baphirok The ideal wood should be:

compact

heavy

with the fiber curve (a branch wrong)

For example:

acacia, walnut, oak ...

[Baphirok]

I'm living in Germany , common trees are for example, oak, birch, chestnut, haselnut

[febi51]

@Baphirok I do not know what the 'haselnut.

but the others are fine woods.

You consider that the fruit trees are perfect for the boomerang

[Beatboxbizboy]

@febi51 how bout an apple tree?

[febi51]

@Beatboxbizboy I do not understand the message

[Beatboxbizboy]

@febi51 could you make a boomerang with woood from an apple tree

[febi51]

@Beatboxbizboy: All the fruit trees are suitable

[counterpunch101]

@Beatboxbizboy Use 4-5mm plywood. Luan & oak from 1 of the "Macgyver Stores," Lowe's or Home Depot, is great to build your "rang" skills. Ask a lady for 5 gallon paint sticks. They're kept behind the counter. With a little wink, smile & manners she'll probably just give you some. Yardsticks are exactly the same besides length. Give each stick opposing teardrop shaped wings, center & rubber band 2 together. Have fun! All fly really well. Luan can be brittle. Watch for trees. Oak is prettier.

could u make a how to vid on the crooked branch i have one and im afriad il mess it up

[febi51]

@dlb1138 I do not understand the meaning of the message. I speak poor English

[sirvalance32]

[febi51]

@sirvalance32 I do not know



[lego4978]

hi m 11 and im making boomerangs it fun:)

[febi51]

@lego4978 well!

[lego4978]

@lego4978 whoops i forgot an i an an s:s

[kakauga]

It would be sin to throw in the air one of these...

They are for museum!

[febi51]

@kakauga You're right. But I believe that in any case, the objects will perish.

So it is best to use them



[TheJonnyj09]

How did you split the wood down the middle? do you have a video?

[febi51]

@TheJonnyj09 I used a band saw.

But, if you have a branch very dry with long fiber, you can break it with an ax.

(No, I do not have the video of this)

[ESHULTZ911]

could you make me one? please :(

[febi51]

@ESHULTZ911 Sorry, but do not build more boomerang

[ESHULTZ911]

@febi51 aw that sucks thanks for your reply

[skulltykoon681]

these boomerangs are works of art

[febi51]

@skulltykoon681 Thanks.

But if you're interested, you can look at this site.

Look at them all.:  Crazy Boomerang Production

by Pierre Kutek ....These are truly works of art

[febi51]

@skulltykoon681 Thanks. But if you're interested, you can look at this site.

Look at them all. These are truly works of art: "natural elbows by Jay Butters (Wales)"

[vosebroy2]

Very beutiful!

[febi51]

@vosebroy2 thanks

[boomerangfreak]

do you sell them

[febi51]

@boomerangfreak no

[blinkyblinkyblink]

a youtube treasure - thanks!

[febi51]

thanks to you

[CalmingWind]

wow well the only thing i can say if you throw it and hits a bird or fruit bat i think it will slow and may not spin enough to return

[febi51]

Infatti.

Non può..

Però, in questo caso, il cacciatore può mangiare

[febi51]

(scuse me..)

Indeed.

Can not ..

However, in this case, the hunter can eat

[paperman1231]

cool boomerangs dude!

[febi51]

thanks thanks

[bigphong]

I love the decorated art on the boomerangs!!! Very elegant

[febi51]

thanks

[asgarddrambo]

excellent video!, thanks for share this. What tools did you use?

[febi51]

The "slices of wood cut me a carpenter. With the band saw.

Then, I use:

Large file

Lima end

sandpaper

And paint

[chipmunksrull2008]

@febi51

[asgarddrambo]

Thank you so much for your time, have a nice day.

[febi51]

thanks to you for the questions.. :)

[BartanABC]

Beautiful video!!!

Can u make an idiot's guide/tutorial on how to make a boomerang from A to Z, explain the principles that make the wood came back?

[febi51]

I'm sorry, but what you ask is too complex to be able to explain in an e-mail.

I advise you to buy a manual

In Italy there are several books covering the subject, and I think these exist even in the libraries of your country.

Thanks for the comment and good luck.

[pollywarrior]

Fascinating, you have inspired an interest in boomerangs in me. I didn't know there was a tradition of boomerang making and usage outside of Australia by cultures other than Australian aborigines.

[febi51]

thanks to you

[foxdart14]

they look to heavy to boomerang back to u they look for show

[febi51]

Unfortunately I can not understand the comment.

My English is not good .....

Unfortunately I can not understand the comment.

My English is not good.

If you can, you use another way to express the same concept.

thanks...:-)

[K189T]

I think he wants to say that the boomerangs are too heavy (big) to have a good return, but he doesn't know that there are boomerangs which don't come back.

[febi51]

I now believe to have understood

I know that ....

But I like the boomerang that come back.

thanks

[K189T]

Me too ^_^
