Auctioned off at roughly $676. Thought I'd save everyone the trip to the bottom comments.

“Skill for time.” Something my father used to say. Thanks for sharing your craft, Kramer.

[terrordome]

thanks to you, I am building my first bow. It will be a longbow style. So thankful I found this channel. I have been woodworking for a while now but this will be a fun build. wish me luck!

Hey Kramer, great videos, great instruction, great camera work. The bowyers knot is also called the timber hitch.

[jasonnchinchen]

I missed the part where you talk about the arrow shelf width?

Great vids thanks!

[TheMaxqb]

The knot (7:37) is a "bowyer's knot". It has the identical form as a "timber hitch" (ABOK 195) but if you follow Ashley's naming scheme they're different knots since they have different uses.

Edit: The knots he mentions for bows/archery are loops/splices for the operation of the bow and there no mentions for of knots for tillering.

You might try Watco Danish Oil finish … wipe it on … let it stand for a while … wipe off the excess. Same process if you need to re-finish the bow. This was the only finish we used when I was working in the cabinet shop.

Well the knot i saw you make is the same knot i use to tie a fishing hook or a swivel on, its called a Blood Knot with 6 turns only difference is you have 4 turns, it's a slip noose love your vids going to try to make a bow myself im 67 years old i used to do archery many years ago i still have the archery equipment to make strings and arrows, you make me want to dable in it again ty. have fun liven the life, frank from Australia.

Thanks for making these great bow building videos. I’m building my first bow following your directions on the board bow now. I’m sure it won’t be my last.

[TheGzumD]

thanks so much bro for the entertainment and the priceless knowledge you spend. its so much fun to lern new and you are the most sympathic bowman ever! go on and bow on!:)

[spacetravelnerd]

Beautiful bow, great video! I love watching you work. I was really anticipating the finish of this bow to see how the arrows would fly compared to the thicker bamboo backing build you did previously. I really liked the flat flight of the arrows making it really accurate from a distance. Any chance you could give a video on the different flight characteristics from your various builds? This summer I am going to duplicate your thick bamboo backed ipe bow. Thanks for the inspiration. Keep making videos!

Just one tip brother.. "take your time" 😂😎 rock on !!! 👍 Great video once again 🏹🎯

[StitchesLovesRats]

16:04 - did you mean "where the gaps are **smaller**"?

[Zalphur]

The only downside to camcorders is that they dont auto focus. I just assume thats what your focus problem is.
Beyond that Im so glad I stumbled across your channel. You are reinspiring a hobby I had when I was a child and I would love to get back into it. Im still very much a novice at being a bowyer but thank you none the less.

[jordanarther]

Dude . . . Like everyone else, I absolutely love your channel especially how you explain exactly what you're doing as you're doing it and in a very succinct way. Most Bowyer YouTube channels either have way too long winded of explanations and make it confusing, or they say about 10 words in the whole video. Oh and just in case you guys were wondering this dude always emails you back answers all your questions and does so in a very timely fashion, the guys a real class act . . . But I have to comment on it, every song in all of your videos his hipster to the maximum. Can we get some punk or metal and one of your videos? Just once? You could make a Scythian style bow while playing the band Scythikon, or make him Mongolian style bow while listening to the Mongolian metal band The Hu. They even inculcate Mongolian throat singing into metal . . . Otherwise I'm pretty sure one of the guys from the Canadian punk band Propaghandhi practices archery

[markashleymalabanan]

To be an archer was once my dream when I was just a kid... I made a simple bow using bamboo wood but it wasn't good.. now I know that tillering is the key 1 day I'll make my bow.. btw thanks for sharing your thoughts and ideas.. so inspiring

[skyeshore]

Fantastic video man. Great stuff. You're going places. I like watching you enjoy your craft. The enjoyment, content, and the video quality are what makes me look forward to each new episode. Keep having fun with it!

[wallacev]

Hey little brother you did it again, fantastic video. Your getting better and better, keep up the good work and can’t wait till the next video. Your brother in Christ, WRV.

[matthewconner]

Hey great video. I can't find a glue up jig video. Maybe you could make a video specifically on how you made that and the amount of reflex deflex in it.

[michaelbouthillette]

Thank you for the tips see you in the next one
