- Not wanting to drop $500+ on a new bow press? This is my solution. Total price was just under $100 and a couple afternoons of welding and cutting after work. If you have any questions please leave a comment or email me. Thanks for watching

Not all heroes wear capes… great video and thanks for taking your time sharing your build!
Thanks for watching
Thanks! Good Video! I Never turn down scrap metal. I have saved thousands of dollars with a scrap pile, a couple harbor freight welders, drill press, and a slide vise.Add RUclips and mechanical ability, and you’re golden.
I cant thank you enough for putting this together. I am almost complete with mine and so far its coming out great. The last thing for me to do is weld on little clip where the arms attach. I got my fingers from a friend who owns a CNC water jet cutter. Yesterday I finish drilled the 1/2 inch holes for the bolt and I also drilled and tapped the base to allow adjustment of the fingers individually. That part took the longest and I see that you didn't even have to do this. When I'm done I'll send you a pic. I am really looking forward to do my own bow work and tuning. PS> I'm also going to build a draw board. I've ordered the materials and am waiting on the parts from Amazon. I don't do any filming but thanks to people like you who do, I was able to get enough information to get started.
Thanks Again

I'm really glad I could help out, I'm also looking forward to seeing pictures of your press. Thank you for watching. Best of luck my friend
What's the thickness of your 2" tubing? Pls sir!
@RakkaSan7219 not completely sure it's around 1/4" it's pretty darn heavy guage
I would like a parts list
Hey could you give me the measurements of the steel and all thread looking to build one like this. Thanks bud looks good
Look through these comments, I posted a link to a video that has what your looking for
I built a powered version of this press before. I sold it to my buddy. As for the fingers, you can apply 2 or 3 layers of shrink tubing and it holds up well and easy to replace.
I would like to get a parts list because I lack a press and I have 3 bows in the house to work on and keep service
Look through the comments I attached a link to another video that has what your looking for
пресс нужен только в случае сборки compound bow , у которого болты на карманах , не позволяют полностью ослабить тетиву и троса ! если лук собран , и требуется замена тросов и тетивы , или регулировка , достаточно иметь под рукой обычную зажигалку или любой предмет такого же размера ( дерево , пластмасса )
- упираемся коленом в Riser , оттягиваем тетиву на 7 - 10 см , и вставляем предмет в блок , который упрётся в плечё при отпускании тетивы .
....................
a press is needed only in case of assembling a compound bow, which has pocket bolts that do not allow the bowstring and cable to be completely loosened! if the bow is assembled and the cables and string need to be replaced or adjusted, it is enough to have an ordinary lighter or any object of the same size (wood, plastic) on hand
- we rest our knee on the Riser, pull back the bowstring by 7-10 cm, and insert the object into the block, which will rest against the shoulder when the bowstring is released.
Those Night Hawk presses come in handy in the field if something happens to your bow.
Yes please make a parts list I would be gratefull
And also how did you weld the bolts inside the 2" square tubing
I'd like to know were you ordered the fingers
I originally bought them on ebay but I have been informed they don't have them for sale anymore
Great video, but dang man, zoom out on that camera lens. That thing is zoomed in so tight, you can almost count the hairs in your nose.
Do you have any blueprints?
There is a link in the comments that I posted. It's a video going over the parts I used
You should market it for people who dont have a lot of cash and dont have any way of making their own .
On the double nut inside do you tack them to the all thread or just tack them together to the tube steel?
@@donniehickman7928 I just tightened them up against each other and tacked them together
@@lonsurez83 ok thanks
Could I get a parts list from you
I put a link in the comment section

Here's the link to the parts video foe those who wanted it.
Dude, I love it, I’m like you and I do all my own work, plz let me know what all I need to get everything together, awesome you got a follower!!!
Thank you for sharing. Happy shooting and hunting this upcoming season. May I get the parts list and cut list ... thank you
Look through the comments on here I made a "part 2" that gives all that information
I used tool dip on my fingers. Worked awesome. Did maybe three layers.
can u throw me a parts list? much appreciated
Looks great, well done.
Where did you get the fingers From?? Yea a parts list would be appreciated. You got a new subscribe from me. Thanks in advance.
Nice!! I need to build one of these too
I’d like a parts list
oh hell yeah. thats awesome dude
Pse is where it's at
2:10
That’s sweet. But I don’t no how to weld really. I work in carpentry so I have some skills but idk if I would be able to weld this. But it is awesome. I need to adjust my peep right now and this is all I need
Genius! I'm tired of running back and forth to town to get mine worked on, bows take a lot of abuse in boats and I usually need it done asap and most bow shops tend to be on the ruder side and won't listen to what you want to do with your bow and do it their way.
I hear you, my problem was the nearest shop was a 2 hour drive one way.
Love it man
Awesome bow press. Very cool. Thanks for sharing!
Thank you, and I appreciate you watching
can you send the the things i need and the measurrements to buld it thanks
Scroll through the comments I posted a link to another video that has the info your looking for
Great job! Any chance you can put a link to the fingers?

Thanks for watching link should be posted let me know if it works.
@@lonsurez83 it does, thank you.. it was the same one I found earlier this week, I was hoping yours was cheaper! Lol
But now at least I know someone who's used them are having good luck with them
The ones I originally bought were cheaper but I can't find that specific set anymore. I'm guessing it was the only set the vendor had
@@lonsurez83 just a heads up to anyone looking to buy these...
My total on the cost was $101.18 including tax and shipping (to Michigan)
6 day delivery time
There was only 2 in stock when I ordered, so should only be 1 left..
Where did you buy the fingers at?
I bought them off ebay, but I can't seem to find them anymore
Plan and simple 👌 I'll be following this to a tee thanks
Not a problem thanks for watching
I'D LIKE THE DIMENSIONS OF THE TUBING.

Here is a link that has all the measurements you might need
Can I have a copy of your diagram please
Great build. Awesome to see a man doing something instead of paying.
Man that’s a great job!!! Nice addition to your shop!!
Thanks, it's definitely been a game changer. Thanks for watching
@@lonsurez83 yes sir!! I wish I had the welding skill. Though I’m very interested in learning MIG and stick welding on my own, I would have to buy a unit to do this work. Thanks for your comment! Keep playing moving out great content. 🙏🏽
I made one almost identical to that a year or so ago. I made my own fingers and covered them with hockey tape and sprayed plastic dip on them
Build another one in video!!!
Do you think you could use a square tube trailer jack instead of building the screw piece with the all thread? Curious because I will be building one and wondering if that is a reasonable option.
I think it would work just fine, that was actually a thought of mine but I had the scrap metal and not the jack so I went with the scrap metal. I would make sure it opens enough to use on your bow. Good luck
That’s really nice man. Nice fabrication.
Some good looking homeboy engineering there.
Thanks l love it ❤ need one my self
A list and pictures of the inside

The link will take you to the video I made with the info your wanting. Thanks for watching
Top zou graag plan ervan hebben
Great video I'd like a parts list
Nice share 😊
This is awesome!
Much appreciated amigo, and thanks for watching
I'll buy one off you
Groovie
All that is needed is a solid base, a solid arm on one end and a moving arm on the other
AND a piece of all thread to go in between them. I used 2x4’s Screw them solid to a piece of plywood on one end and hinge the other. Make cut outs for the pullies and you have a bow press
Using steel is great but not necessary
It just doesn’t take much to make a bow press. Heck I’m a hack and I did it successfully
Badass
I was looking for an in-depth view of the threaded rod and nuts.

Nice
wow dude this is bad ass Im wanting to make my own bow press. Im not knowledgeable on everything you were talking about but, if by any chance can you show the inside of the press. Im just a little confused of how that works. Thanks for your time
I will take some pictures of it and post them down here in the comments tomorrow afternoon
@@lonsurez83 thank you sir much appreciated
RUclips doesn't let me put pictures in the comments 😤
Outstanding job. Can you post a video showing the internal part of the press and some over all dimensions. I have been thinking about making my self a press and I really like how yours has come out.
Thanks for watching and commenting, I'll get it pulled apart and posted this weekend,
@@lonsurez83 Thank you that would be great
nice ,very nice bow press bro !!!
Thank you and thanks for watching
Great job. Gonna start building mine this next week. 👍
