  • do you have to use a foreshaft?

  • With this material you do. While these are technically foreshafts, I'm basically just using them as points for the darts.

  • Question about 1:45 ... Wouldn't it be better to wrap the dart after you drill it? Wouldn't drilling force it to expand and weaken it more?

    Or would it be insignificant on the outcome?

  • Sorry this reply is so late in coming! IT's better to wrap the dart first so that it doesn't split when drilling/reaming out for the foreshaft.

  • what type of wood is the point?

  • I think I was using either a birch dowel or oak dowel from Home Depot. Any hardwood will do. I mostly use hardwood branches from the woods. Dry them, straighten them using heat and shape them into a dart point. T

  • F.A.B.

  • wow!

  • Great Demo. Thank You!

  • wow, even without making it terribly sharp that would be a devastating weapon on an animal, just from bludgeoning imo.

  • thats stone drill could be used as a pretty bad-butt spear/arrow head eh?
