- In a previous episode a build a simple screw drive bow press that required removing your stabilizer. This model improved significantly upon this idea and presses more like the pro level bow presses only made out of wood. Thanks for watching.

Thanks for sharing your work, experience, knowledge, and information on this.
You're welcome Andy, Thank you for watching. Blessings.
I'm adding a home made Allen wrench holder with a mini screwdrivers and a mini needle pliers to the work tray plus a craft divided box for knocks and inserts plus the blue locktite and crazy glue it was an enjoyable build keep up the good vibes
That is awesome! It’s very interesting to hear all of the creative add-ons to this build. Blessings to you.
That is excellent. Thanks.
Feels like I'm going to be making a wooden bow press at some point.
Shame that wood is so damn expensive in the UK.
Rubbing a wax candle on the wood stops the wood sticking.
Thank you for the kind words, all the best and appreciate you watching.
I made this bow press but I'm using a 8 inch wooden wheel with a handle. I put it on an old sewing machine cabinet there is enough room for a draw board on the back side and on the one end I put a bow vise on it so I can do it all in one location
I would love to see that, do you have a video camera? Thank you for watching and have a great deer season. Blessings to you.
@@RealRadNek I'm trying to get picture to send you
@@jodyfrasnelli8928 awesome!
Can you tell me where the nuts are in order after the wing nut
Hello Jody, TY for watching. If you freeze at 0:52-1:00 in the video anywhere, you can see the finished product. If you notice those two 2X4 pieces in the middle of the press side by side with a slight gap between them, in the gap between the two 2X4s is where the wing-nut is placed. This is the only nut present on the "fixed" portion of the press. So, to the left of the screen, there are no nuts at all. The wing-nut is the only nut in the "fixed" portion of the press so that the threaded bar can float through the holes freely when the moving portion of the press moves in or out. As for the moving portion of the press, go to 12:09-12:35 and freeze somewhere there. You will see the bow press "pressed" all the way in. The only "nuts" that are missing are on the handle which is on the right side. You can barely see the wing-nut pressed between the two 2X4s and then there is 1 nut on the other side of one of the 2X4s to the right of the wing-nut. Then a washer goes on the right side of the nut opposite the wing-nut side. This nut is JB welded in place on the threaded bar and on the far right of the threaded bar, you JB weld the wrench handle so that the moving part of the press is sandwiched between the handle and that JB welded nut you see. The handle is not put on yet in this image. So in the finished product, moving from right to left on the threaded bar, you have a nut, then the JB welded nut inside the wrench, then another nut. All three nuts are JB welded in place. Then there is a washer, then two 2X4s side by side which make up the moving part of the press, then a washer, then a JB welded nut. That finishes the moving part of the press. The from there is the fixed part of the press: a 2X4, then the wing-nut, then 2X4, then the rest is free floating through the holes you've drilled for the threaded bar to pass in and out. Hope this helps. All the best.
Could you put a crossbow in there?
That, I do not know. It has only been tested with up to 70# compound bow limbs. Also, the way I built this one is more for parallel or very near parallel limbs. I would hate to tell you that you could and then you get hurt or it not work so I'm saying no. Try at your own risk if you do. Thanks for watching and all the best.
Here in Germany getting the materials would cost more than buying a bow press...
Sorry to hear that. Hopefully you live in the country where you have a warm fireplace and a stash of wood to burn to stay warm. Thank you for watching. We hope the best for your country this winter.
Is there enough room to swap out cams ?
I don’t think you would want to swap out cams with any bow compressed. That seems to me like a way to get hurt really bad or killed. You can decompress the bow and swap out cams on a workbench Then recompress the bow and put the string back on. That would definitely be my preferred method. Thanks for watching Zeller and all the best for you.
@@RealRadNek thanks for the response that makes a lot of sense. I have been shooting a compound for 3 years, and getting more and more into working on my own bow and building my own arrows from bare shaft. So needless to say I am still learning. Building my own DIY bow repair tinkering station on a budget. Thanks again.
YW, all the best.
@@Zelleram55 every cam change is when the bow is pressed, this guy is seriously lacking in bow knowledge... I've changed hundreds of cams with the bow in the press...
@@muleybuckco Yes, you are correct, whenever you have a standard professional bow press used in a shop, it is no problem when you know what you are doing. As I tell my wife all the time, listen to what I mean, not what I say (LOL). Here's what I meant. When you are dealing with a home made DIY bow press like what I have designed, I would not trust leaving the bow pressed while removing cams. It's a recipe for disaster IMO. I have had guys in shops work on my bows in the past and have seen them take cams out while bow is pressed making adjustments but it's best you understand the limitations of using wood in this DIY press. If you want to start swopping out cams while your bow is pressed you should pay for a professional set-up. This is a weekend hobby DIY press so best if you treat it as such so you don't get hurt. All the best.
