”Thank you for your support - Zábava
I’d love to see a Penobscot bow build. IMHO, that would an outstanding project for your 150,000 subs celebration. 👍🏻
Dude that's awesome he should
Lol just posted my comment not even seeing yours😂 guess great minds thing alike!
@@sydneyrupert8091 Yeah they do. I have several DIY Red Oak longbows I’ve given some thought to converting.
That would be so cool,
Why not build a "X" shaped riser that you can atach 4 limbs to it?
That's what I was thinking
only recently started watching his videos and was enjoying this but i had the same thought, yea you rock a modified X shaped riser that has 4 limb attatchments, and for the string if you made a custom string that had a singular serving in the center (so it would have to be slightly thicker than a normal string).... no idea if it would work but logic holds firm in my head xD
Will it Arrow?
Would be nice to see some more on the other half of a bow and arrow.
"Will it string?"
yes on this and will it string. awesome!
Yeah will it arrow!!
@@olmostgudinaf8100 yes, please! maybe with a cheap rattan or fiber glas bow that doesn't take much damage from a breaking string. :D
Honestly, rather than the $100 to celebrate 150k subscribers, I would love to see you make a Welsh Longbow with the chance to win it. 😁
Make a balista or some kind of crossbow, something crazy
To celebrate, do a "so you've never built a bow before" video where you do a beginners basic bow.
i like that idea
@@longleaf1217 Seconded!
I want to see you try and make a bow with as many different types of woods as you can.
xD might be something for guinnes book of wold records? :D
NEXT EPISODE you should impregnated bed sheets with glue and make the bow backing from that 3-5 layers of it. Its like making fiberglass. But if u put too much adhesive than it will be too brutal and wont be as flexible 🏹🏹🏹
To brutal. Lol
"Failure is an event not a person"
I like that.
You should try making a yumi style bow sometime. I would love to see how different your construction process would be if any.
I just want to say, you are an amazing creator. Keep it up!!!
You should do a will it bow using only 150 components. Whatever you want to use. The string components count as individual pieces. 150 components, no more, no less! Love your videos!!!
Ding Ding, round 2 build.
Good luck. 👍🍻😀
You and your shop partner should do a bow building competition for 150k subscribers. Maybe do a limited budget build, maybe 50 bucks or something that you each get and see who can make the best bow. You could have categories for speed, looks, accuracy etc. I think that would be awesome. Keep up the great work!
To celebrate 150k make a Giant Bow or a Ballista!
I'd love to see you revisit the idea, but make the bows "side by side" and give them a handle protruding from the riser to hold. If you shot through/between the risers, that would be epic!
and a X shaped riser with 4 points to atach independent limbs?
@@fubene5495 x implies 45°. I think the angle needs to be more like 20-30°. The less torsion forces while asking the riser to take a load along the grain, the safer. But I love the idea of the riser being atleast partially one piece.
Hi Kramer, if you put the bow, the one without the handle, on the inside, and cut the groove on the backside of the bow (on the one with the handle), then you would preserve the surface tension, and its capability to distribute the force. And the inside bow would serve and provide the stability/strenght from the groove, that you have cut from the backside of the front-bow.
The final message ALONE is worth subscribing and upvoting. I don't want to spoil the video, but it's worth watching to the end.
Okay, I'll admit it. I nearly jumped out of my skin when the bow snapped. But the way you tried to combine the 2 bows, I knew it wouldn't work. If you try again, you will need to laminate the 4 limbs together which means custom jigs etc. And how would you ensure equal draw strength of each limbs? I certainly don't know. But kudos on the attempt.
Thank you dear Being for being such an inspiration.
Penobscot bow 100%!!!!! Those things are sweet looking! I wanna see you make one and go all out on it with the best woods and materials you can come up with! Make an absolute wall hanger that functions!! 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
150k sub idea: Make a "Compound Bow" like Hawkeye's in the Avengers.
Nothing like fireworks for a celebration. Especially fireworks with a bow and arrow as their propellant!
You should do a live stream and show some more tricks for bow making. Or try shooting arrows while you are upsidedown😜.
You could do a collaboration with the Slingshot channel!
I would love to see you make an English long bow with just hand tools for the 150k celebration!
It's hard to explain what I'm thinking in text but It would be cool if for the string you made a custom string where its like 2 strings served together in the middle where you would have it served on a normal bow and then had 2 loops on either side that would go to each limb.i dont know if it would work but its an idea.
Man, this channel really got me into making actual bows, I've been making bows out of scrap wood, some random branches, even those cheap takeout bamboo chopsticks with rubber bands. Never thought of making bows with proper materials before, and these videos really taught me all the possibilities out there, thx a lot man.
Kramer Ammons first off I'd like to thank you! Urs was 1 of the first bow builds I've ever seen. I made my first red oak/fg tape board bow not even a yr ago. Now I've started collecting and seasoning my own wood. I would love sum random vids of u using less than desirable wood to see if u can make it bow.. would be great for us beginners to see the problem solving for trying to heat bend into alignment, and work with knots and other flaws of natural wood. Just an idea. Thanks again man and keep up the good work!
Just an idea: Instead of inlaying it into the part of the bow that sees tension, if 'ya inlay it into the handle it might work better. (You'd also need to adjust the draw length to (width of first bow) less, but hey...)
Man, it's astonishing how your content just keeps getting better and better, congrats on the great channel you have crested!🤯💯
First off congratulations on 150,000, I would love to see a bow showcase and a workshop walkthrough.
Have you considered doing it as a take down bow? Using a layeres of plywood for the riser ought to make it strong enough. You could even have the arrow fire through the centre. It would make it easier to package it to give it away for the big, celebratory give-away. Keep them coming.
Just when i thought this channel could not get any cooler.....
Thanks, KA
The multi-color bow string would be a nice touch, and include it in a number of items.
That was a wonderful video. I actually really liked your quote at the end, it's actually a really good one. Thank you for another great video!!
Bow break and collapse to the floor was understandable, and hilarious.
Great job Kramer love it. 👍🏼🏹🇺🇸
Man, the filming and editing quality on this video was fantastic...
Super intense build. Awesome video!!
Have your Dad tell you how proud of you he is, not because you have subscribers but because you are a man of character. And character creates sucess.
I recently saw on HTME (how to make everything) the group making a laminated horn/wood horse bow. Usually HTME does the smart thing and get expert smiths to help with smithing projects, but didn't get a bowyer for the bow making. I'd love to see you replicate the process with similar materials. Stay Shatterproof!
Huh. Could you inlay 2 pieces of wood for the belly of the bow and then add the bamboo in it's own layer and intertwine them in the gluing process and tiller all 4 limbs in one large fashion instead of trying to mend them after the tillering process?
TLDR: instead of making 2 bows and mending themtogether. Try making one 4 limb bow from the start.
I’d like to see a double limbed crossbow. I know you really only do traditional long bows but a crossbow would be a cool thing to switch it up with. 👍
Ideas for 150k.
1. A mollgabet style bow build
2. Try your hand at building a copy of one of the 8 bows you reviewed.
3. Kramer Ammons signature bow
A showing or shooting of all the bows you made (successes and failures [or as I like to call them learning experiences]), also what is that thin blade you use for tillering?
It looks like a cabinet scraper
This seems like the type of thing you could make by building both bows at the same time as a single assembly. The tillering would be a bit more complex, but you wouldn't have to cut through the back of either bow if you laminated it correctly.
I would love to see a double limbed bow for the big 150,000! Either way looking forward to the celebration and keep up the good work!
I think you should celebrate by attempting a all home made arrow, a collaboration with another bowyer or attempting a trick shot of some kind. Or do a bow giveaway.
Celebrate by bringing your 4 limb bow to a competition
Why not attach the tips with wire and then string from there down the middle?
I agree, something similar to a compound bow that would tie the two top limbs to the bottom two with a single strand in the middle, either braided or an additional string.
The Slingshot Channel did something similar with a double crossbow build . It's an interesting build too. JoergSprave was delighted to show us its features.
@@2DGraphicDesign He also did a double bow build.
@@Oxnate The Double instant Genghis Khan?
@@2DGraphicDesign I think so.
Excellent try: if I may...Joining the two bows: 2 pieces of plywood with blocks between to make sockets like a take down bow.
Stringing the bows: instead of crossing the strings, run them parallel, bow1 tip to bow2 toe, bow2 tip to bow1 toe, then a 3rd string between in the middle for nocking the arrow.
150k sub idea, do a custom bow build and give it away. Simple yet sweet!
For 150,000 subs u should make a bow out of a longboard. I also just wanna say that I love your content and I think your amazing. Keep doing what your doing and stay shatterproof!
For your celebration you should make a giant mounted medieval crossbow!!
Did you ever come back to this? I've seen bows with the dual limbs in line with a string from the shorter front limbs to the main limbs. Kind of set up like a secondary bow that adds poundage at the end of the middle of the draw.
I literally just got in to archery and your channel convinced me to get a bow . Keep up the good work my bro
You can have people send you a brief video of there homemade bows and what it’s made of and or shoot different smoke colored b ombs at something and show your top 10 favorite bows you’ve made and why they are your favorite
For the subscriber special it would be cool to see a video of you shooting hard to hit targets and giving it a action hero vibe.
Also my heart dropped when the bow broke, man I felt that pain and it hurt.
To celebrate the milestone, I have 1 idea.
It'd be really cool to do a community showcase collage project, where everyone shows off their home made bows in like a 5sec video and you slowly cycle through them all. At the end you show them all at once on screen in the shape of "Stay Shatter Proof"
idea for you - I really loved episode where you showed your progress in 30days of everyday shooting. why don't you do some shooting for celebrating 150k? ;)
Love your content, stay shatterproof :D
For hitting such a big number, you should have fans submit videos of them making bows as a contest and choose a winner, then do a bow build with the winner.
Make a highlight video of both your failures and successes of bow making. Also, bring back your wallets. I love my Connecticut wallet. GREAT workmanship.
fire fireworks up in the air at night, maybe like one for every dedicated supporter?
with a bow ofc
For a 150K celebration, a 150 string giveaway. They could even be a special edition color scheme.
I haven’t seen you bids in a while and wow. Way to step up the editing. Great job!
My suggestion is a 150" inch bow, thanks for the content and teaching us all what it means to be shatterproof.
An idea that's been bouncing around in my head for a bit is a whiskey barrel stave bow. Could do a short bow or splice two together to get a longer one... Would smell great during the build, too!
A Whiskey Barrel take down bow?
@@2DGraphicDesign That configuration would be fun to see, too
You should make a special limited edition tab! That would be cool
To make the 4 limb bow work maybe you could construct the cross( or the hole bow) piece by piece, like put 1/4 inch slabs on top of each other over and over, glueing as you go, until you get the thickness you need
One thing I would have done differently is instead of cutting the back of the one blade, carve into the belly of the other. The back is where all the strength is. By cutting into it, you left it with almost no strength
I’d love to see 150 bows synced to fire at the same time at the same distance target. Kind of a volley that converges on one spot.
Build an arrow that has a multi stage rocket incorporated into the design. Have that rocketed flaming arrow hit a box of 150 mortars to celebrate. Boom, big finale!
No worries bro loving it. It's what we do.
For your subscribers milestone, you should celebrate it by making a bow with the CZcams plaque they give you
Do a livestream of a bow making! That'd be a great 150k sub celebration!
Congratulations, btw.
I saw someone build a four limb bow for the purpose of getting the farthest possible flight out of a light arrow. They made two smaller bows, and mounted them parallel with a stick between them. They then put a short string between the center point of each of the bow's strings and shot from that
I will reply later with the book that I saw this is in, but I am fairly sure that it is one of the Bowyer's bibles
Ok, in case you will every try this again, consider create special bow string in way where in middle is small space tangled together to get shape like >-<
You can make strings so it shouldn't be that problem for you :) Also, and this is something you probably know already, make one bow slightly longer and do not cut the bow backing (bamboo), just put longer one over the shorter one and glue it together. All my ideas are just guessing, so take it also into the consideration :D
What if you built a bow out of an extremely strong wood?
Like Ironwood or Australian Buloke.
Awesome!
u could try parallel with converging strings and a central grip. no messy cutting
Special bow string. When connecting to boards with equal strength cut both equally then attach. Make a single Double Y string.
Make a gold leaf covered bow, I would like to see if the metal would crack as you bend it the bow. Gold leaf under resin, gold leaf on top of resin it would be a cool experiment. Also you could make a golden arrow for the bow. Kind of a cool bow and arrow for a cool mile stone!
Design and build a packable survival archery system! Takedown bow and arrows that pack into their own quiver for easy carry.
Celebration idea: fireworks ignited by a flaming arrow.
or
one lucky fan gets to spend a weekend with you building a bow (post covid)
I would like to see a traditional Japanese bow, great content! thanks for sharing.
I think it would be cool if, for the 150k subs, you could make a ballista?
have another go but make it a really squish x and make a yoke top and bottom on the string. handle section 1 piece with 4 removable limbs like a take down longbow.
u got this man i have faith
So I have few ideas for this but possibly very difficult to execute.
The bow design/shape would probably only work for this type of application or a strange crossbow. Double if not triple the width of the bows and cut/drill a hollow in the center of where your handle section normally is or where the strings will cross, and possibly consider merging the two bows before the tiller or starting with a much wider board and cutting a V between what would be the upper and lower sets of limbs so that you have a much stronger belly on the bow, granted you would probably only be able to accommodate a 15-30⁰ angle between them.
Honestly it may be easier to achieve the over all look or concept by taking two of same takedown bows and building/designing a new handle section in an X shape from a single or laminated piece of wood.
Take the family out for a really nice supper! Best way to blow some time and money.
I don't think that the plan to build two separate bows, then somehow join them at the axis point will ever work because the joint would have too much inherent weakness. Perhaps if you designed it with criss-cross overlapping alternating layers, building a 4 limbed bow from the start, rather than trying to scab together some kind of hybrid? I would also suggest making the upper two limbs a bit longer so that the arrow shelf/v ends up in the mathematical centre.
If i had to celebrate 150k i would make something that can shoot a lot of firework arrow to the sky and do it at night time, pretty spectacular and special
You are just amazing to me man.
Seem to be such a nice person and you’re being as one hopes to be one day.
You should try to shoot modified fireworks with a bow, that's a great way to celebrate your subscribers
Dude, them editing skillz though. Love your series, keep it up. Been doing my own "will it bow" here on this end of the world, so far I'm 1/3 in functional projects, hahaha.
Maybe make an ultra fancy but completely functional fantasy bow like you would see in LOTR or something. You could sell it, auction it, or gift it to one of the subscribers.
Dude, I would love to see you build a Penobscot bow. And, condolences to your four limbed bow.
A bow with a tuning peg at one end so it can be strung and string tension can be adjusted.
Firework launching cross bow!!!!!!
I gotta say, you had some real nice editing/videography in this episode!
Like, you always do, but this video had some especially nice shots!
