  • Can a hockey stick make a bow? We have all been wondering about this. Today I attempt to make a bow out of a composite hockey stick.

    I love how you don't shy away from failure. It's actually amazing to watch. You put in so much time and effort and we can see the pain and disappointment on your face when a bow project breaks, but you shake yourself off, do your best to identify what went wrong, and move on to the next thing. Truly inspirational!

  • @jeremygeis3884

    What about a wooden hockey stick? I could see that being able to work without having any crazy surprises.

  • @skyeshore5704

    I think it's your positive attitude and perseverance past failure that makes these videos so fun to watch. I know how much time and effort it takes to work on these 'will-it' projects and I feel the pain and disappointment every time you break a bow. Seeing you go back and try again is just awesome.

  • @morantactical1105

    I think that strips of that hockey stick composite glue laminated to bamboo would make an excellent bow.

  • @justinpacheco4241

You inspired me to buy my second bow which will be a recurve bow. I'm a big fan of your work and your channel. I also tried to build my own bow which failed but the process was fun and rewarding. Please keep this up!

    Back when we were kids my grandfather would get us to go around and pick up old hockey sticks from the rinks in the area. I think they were made out of hickory.Then he showed us how to make bows out of them. Add a handle and taught us how to tiller, make bow strings and arrows. They were a great little bow. We hunted rabbits and partridge, did some bow fishing and had a 3 d coarse back before they were popular. I still have one of my old bows. get it out and shoot it now and then. What a great idea my grandfather came up with.

    I think the issue here is what known in mechanical engineering as "Stress Concentration".
    Which is basically what happens when you have sharp corners or a sudden change in cross-section area.
    Overlapping the pieces and making the transition smoother might fix that issue.

    So close. Definitely worth another video with a triple or quadruple lamination of flat peices.
    I feel like if you hadn't have been working with a lamination that had a weak spot where it had broken before it would have bowed.
    Excellent video regardless, I started building bows at the start of lockdown and your channel has inspired me and informed me so much. Thank you for doing what you do.😊

    Ya .... Thanks for posting my comment on your channel... I saw the Easton and thought nope. Just being Canadian and knowing what its made of. But good thing you didn't get a fiberglass stick those split something fearce. A good wooden stick like a Sherwood might of been better. But I do love the build. And the reason for the wood in the blade is the Easton composite sticks were for changing your blade of the stick. Stay safe...

  • @Saintbow
    @Saintbow Před 4 lety

    Kinda odd you went with the carbon fiber twig first. Those sticks were designed to break easily (blame the 90's) and also to have major whip/play with them. What flex did you decide to use when you bought the stick? If it were me, I would have gone down three roads with this build. 1: use wood sticks, good old fashion Sherwood pmp 5030 twigs. 2: use two 100 carbon fiber twigs, cut the blades off till it looks like a butt end, flip them and make an adapter where the real butt ends meet and are glued/connected by that adapter. Now your major flex zones will be on the ends and the rigid section will be in the middle. 3: get your hands on pro-stock twigs. They have a higher tolerance than what mere mortals can get their hands on. Best bet to get your hands on them is to go to the the training rink of a major team, bribe the 'boni driver with a 12 pack and he will hand you a bucket of discarded sticks from the team. Oh and if you want to see something that will blow your mind, goof around with a carbon fiber goalie paddle, those are wicked. If you want to be really cruel...really really evil...Get an Aluminium hockey stick...

  • @clubdetennisdolbeau-mistas5971

    I DON'T BELIEVE IT! Hey Kramer, I thought you'd choose WOODEN hockey sticks. Composite hockey Sticks? Just nothing to do with that. I have made a couple of bows with wooden hockey sticks, but never ever with composite. And you'll dul your bandsaw for sure; Iknow, I DID it. Anyway, let's get back to the video and see how you fare. GOOD LUCK my friend....(M.G.' Quebec, Canada)

  • @kingsway731
    @kingsway731 Před 4 lety

    Try "V" cutting the ends about 8-9 inches and close them. You will keep the sides intact but gradually decrease the mass. This is similar to using PVC. The material is strong if it's braced on all sides. You could have probably made a long bow by stringing up the stick

    Question...
    Consider each of two identical 'heavy flex' hockey sticks, to be your pair of limbs...
    They flex as they are...
    The handle and the blade were already reinforced...
    So perhaps those are ready for a handle piece, and for nock tips...
    Perhaps you have the pieces for a crazy warbow...

    Not only will the composite eat your saw blades, you really need to wear a respirator when cutting or sanding it. It's either going to be graphite, glass, or kevelar (or a combination of those). Very hard materials that are brutal to cutters, and that dust is all nasty for breathing.

    great vid! lots to think about. something that i thought of while you were making this is that the one hockey stick that was really flexible, i wonder how that would work by gluing that onto a wood bow (wooden hockey stick) much like how the raw hide strips functioned that you used on your other video?

The first was a board bow.. but there is something to cutting a tree down and using the wood. Except I'm in a city and have very less than ideal wood with knots and a bit of propeller twist(just a little). But I would love to see how u solve the problems I'm dealing with! Thankyou👍

    • @richardhoule4389
