    Regarding the tie, I'm assuming you didn't shell out for a pure actual silk tie, but settled for a polyester tie. Effectively, you're just using what is also referred to as "poor man's fiberglass." Any porous cloth set in place with waterproof aliphatic resin glue. You could use any polyester cloth from a fabric store to achieve the same results. But the tie was an interesting take on it! Who among us doesn't have a tie destined for the bin that could be put to this use!

      correct! Pallets are disposable, sacrificial hardware mass produced. even the "good" ones aren't made from anything other than "SPF" - Spruce, Pine, or Fir. all very soft, inexpensive woods. if you were to find a pallet made from something else, it's likely either strip ply (good plywood, but components too small to efficiently re-use) or far chunkier to help it endure months of constant banging, being stabbed, pushed, dragged, stabbed, application of ridiculous forces, and so on.

      A lot of Euro pallets are made out of Spruce or Hem-Fir, a mix of hemlock and fir cut at the sawmills. So without knowing the species you don't really know the character of the pallet wood that he was using! Better to use some species that you know unless you can tell the difference.

    You should try to put the linseed oil on the wood before the glue. It will do two things. It will reduce the amount of glue, and it will strengthen the wood. You will have less problems with hinging. At least that is what i came out with. The bows are acting much better after using the oil in production... :D

  • @JubbaheyChannel
    @JubbaheyChannel 2 года назад

    Kramer, if you want a really strong joint with glue, esp PVA, first mix 50% water and glue, let that soak into the wood grain and pores, then when dry, use 100% PVA and you find that the glue will adhere to the glue that has rooted into the wood, AKA, a stronger bond than the wood itself. This works on any porous surface and will never fail as long as the glue can be watered down
    Also, with soft woods, can laminating them help with their inherent weaknesses ? maybe 4 thin layers ?

    As a note, most of the pallets I worked with when I was working in a warehouse were almost certainly pine - they had that distinctive smell every time they cracked, which was often. Makes sense, because pine is much cheaper than hardwoods like oak, and cost is the primary concern when they're making pallets.

    Yo man excellent job on your channels production. I wanted to get your opinion, ive made some natural stave bows from random sapplings over the years and my GF wants to build a bow along with the reflex deflex limb that I had found and is now seasoned. Im not concerned for me but for her would you think a 25lb draw is what I should go with for hers? Shes not weak but I dont want her fighting for form..

    As you’re asking for ideas: as soon as I started watching, I was certain that you should do a collaboration with Alec Steele. I think you’re sharing a common kind of energy and it would be an insane episode of will it bow? (Now, as I‘m thinking about the name, maybe his colleague Will, might be an even better fit! ;D)

    When it comes to 'dryness ' ... you could use the Australian slang phrase "as dry as a dead dingos donga " .... ( A donga is a makeshift Bush shelter... usually a shallow trench beneath a fallen tree or overhanging rock, assisted by intertwined tree branches to help keep bad weather out.)...
    And please try to make a bow from some Australian timber... some Ironbark, Rainbow Eucalyptus or Ti (tee) tree would be good .... although 'Turpentine Tree' would be my preference... ( they made the pileings for the docks in London out of that ).
    Yes ... I'm an Aussie.

    I've also got a challenge for you & your "will it bow" theme. Palm fronds from royal palms. can they be made into limbs? They are similar to bamboo & rattan as they are grasses and have a considerable amount of flexibility as they are (when green ) whipped all over heck whenever the wind blows. Perhaps they could be dried, shaped, possibly even laminated up or bamboo backed? (maybe that could be a cool re-purpose of one of those used bamboo Tiki torch holders that always seem to end up sticking out of somebody's bulk trash pile ! ...eh?) :)
