Where to buy fiberglass?

Where did you brought fiberglass?

People there is no more good shows and film!!! ****.

Can you post picture of that yumi in unstrung position?

Lower limb is shorter because they wanted to eliminate hand shock. In all bows there is hand shock because nodes of oscillations of 1st and 3rd harmonics are above and under hand grip. Japanese put handle in lower node because it is more practically and in that way eliminated 3rd harmonic and lower ...

Divac is from my country!!! Divac!!! Divac!!!

Nice looking bow but too much color if you ask me.

It is too bad that nobody turn this idea into show like big brother. It is interesting to watch people that build something that big with old methods.
Or maybe it is better to turn it into truman show (20 years long!!!).

I love heavy metal!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Happy New Year friend. May you dreams become real.

That thing with copper pipe with hole of 1mm looks good. But is it safe? I realy don't want to fly to the moon and back (yet). I must say that I have more mass than you judging from pictures you post. :lol: I can get from my friend acetylene regulator. Is normal water pipe (not "water pipe"...

Thank you for answers. Damascus steel with that thing. Impressive. You use acetylene for that burner. That is why flame is so clean and blue. And how much gas do you needed for that damascus piece? Can you use classic butan or propan with that burner? Is it difficult to make a burner like that?

Nice grinder. I must make one. Did you made yours?
What you use for raw material?
Vegi oil? Why not animal fat?
I must confes that I like to make tools. With this grinder you can make a
iron for plane in half hour.
What is that "hot environment"? It looks like jat engine.

I am from serbia and montenegro. That montenegro part to be precise. I make my own draw knife because I don't know where to buy it. And because I love metal work. I realy love metal work. I didn't made nither one bow. I am going to make a english longbow. I need draw knife for rough work and than sp...

Now, I am going to soften that piece of steel in order to make it perfectly streight. After that I will use special grinding plate for sharpening. The main problem is how to temper steel. This type of steel. I find out that leaf spring is tempered 2 times. Firs to mecome very hard and that in lover ...

This is my leaf spreing stock. I hope that I will have enought for at least 5 draw knife. I am going to make diferent types of draw knifes and few irons for japanese plane disagned by me.

I use this cutting plate. It is for inox steel but what the hell... it is good for wood cutting also. It is 1mm thich and I must say that it cut exatly 1mm. What means 13300 rotation in minute? It is max speed or min speed? My bosch hand grinder or how ever you call it can max rotate at 11000 rotati...

It is simle piece of pine wood that in one moment took fire. It is hard steel.
That hole is long 15cm. Behind that white t-shirt is my belly. I am very attach to it so it it woud be very bed if something burn it.

Job is done but not without sacrifice. My favorite worknk t-shirt almoste took fire. Now I have big air vent on my belly. After that I mont a "thermal shild" that I find on junk yard .

Yeah!!! Is is job for man!!!

I am not knife expert. I know that japanese knife is made of pure hard steel. Well, used to. Kitchen knives are made of 2 layers of steel. One soft and another hard. Hard steel is made by lamination. Blade is usually ground on one side. Maybe this knife is made of 3 layers. But I hot know why that j...

There is something wrong with this "Japanese blade". The laminated part must be in center and not at side! Believe me this is not damascus. I think that this knife is some good chinese copy. And what is this combat knife, fish knife or throwing knife.

I know that copper can be very dangereous especialy copper oxide. Bushido forbide poisonius arrows. I am folower of bushido so will not use copper on my arrows


Radsod

what is copper based glue? Is copper added to glue or it is some type of glue made with usage of copper? What is usualy used glue in medieval times?

Is written in Toxophilus what must have English traditional bow in order to be called "traditional"? Is there a drawing of bow that can be used as model? Can you send me a picture?

I know few rules example 5 to 8 rule but I don't know what must change if you want stronger bow. Please help.

How many part of Toxophilus exist? Is there on internet place when I can read this Toxophilus?

There must be 6th rule. Why? Because there is 5 : 8 rule and all other rules. This is STANDARD . I think that there is 6th rule. The question is can you call any bow longbow? Well you can if it is very long bow. But can you call it ENGLISH LONGBOW ? No, because it doesn't fallow all 6 rules. I think...

Does anybody know rules for longbow making? I know 5 rules but I need last one 6th rule (that rule them all). First rule: limb width : limb thick = 8 : 5 Second rule: the unstrung bow is height as archer is plus 4 fingers Third rule: Brice height is 1/12 of height. Fourth rule: Bow's width-es part i...
