Back in pre-high school I wanted to shoot a bow like a freakin elf princess. It's been 15 years, I am currently on my way to 30 and my dream has not yet been realized. So you, kind sir, have made my day. Finally, I can make my own arrows (crafting level increased x 100) :D Thanks for this, for real! I just subbed :) Much respect from a fellow struggling youtuber haha :D
Carr Lumen, you ARE a freakin elf princess and anyone who disagrees is a fool! Thank you so much for watching and subscribing! I subed back! Some great recipes there! Plus, I respect the youtube hustle 😉. Keep up the great work!
@@SkillTree Thank you so much, it means a lot! :) You are honestly super talented! keep up the amazing work and keep promoting yourself cause you really deserve so so so many more subs. I haven't seen such a good channel in a very long time! Looking forward to all your new vids!
Great video. I thought the part about fletching the arrow was brilliant. I should've tried this before I bought a jig. I know this video will help people try arrow building. Thanks
Thank you! I'm glad it can be useful. I try my best to find lower budget methods so we can get our feet wet before deciding to go all in on a skill 😁. Thank you so much for watching!
@user-ot1ut7kp1w not at all! I learned how to shoot this way. Just make sure your target is on the softer side and know that, when you start shooting with tipped arrows, the weight will be different, so you may have to adjust your shots accordingly. Oh! And harden the tip if you can. After sharpening it, just hold it over some fire for a bit. High enough so it doesn't burn but close enough to get good and hot. Onle a minute or so, if even that. You will feel that the wood gets more tough there, and it will make the sharpened bit last longer.
Most of the way through the video, but wanted to leave a comment of an something I figure would be import for when buying dowels at home depot. When I bought them for a similar project, I found most were bent slightly. Using an electric stove, I held the bent dowels over the burner until it was hot enough to shape, took about 10-20 minutes per dowel depending on the number of bends. Had a slight bend that took about 5 minutes to fix, had another with 3 that were oddly placed, took 20-30 minutes to fix. Is an interesting method to those finding mostly bent ones with proper grain. Figured it would be a useful tip
Really great tutorial. I'd like to add that all of the feathers must come from the same side of the bird wing. All rights or all lefts. You cannot mix them or the arrow won't spin during flight, which it needs to help fly straight.
Can remove 3/8” of the feather from the quill, so the thread wraps around the quill leading part (and can do the trailing end too). Curiously, some read folks tie the rear part first, then fold the feather, forward
You should look at crafting bodkin tip arrows for a bit more consistent look. The simplest option would probably be forging the socket, then hot cutting or chopping off the required length and then just chuck it in the drill and use your belt sander for either rounded target tips or bodkins
2 things, 1 you can burn the head onto the shaft for a more custom fit, and 2 you can drill a hole through the cone of the head and shaft for a forged rivet to hold it on 👍
@@SkillTree Yeah dude! love finding niche channels and subbing. I actually have been starting a bow project and have been interested in beginning forging. Guess this is the universe telling me to start. :P
Awesome video! I make my own trad arrows as well. I was wondering if you usually shoot trad bows? I have never seen anyone use 4 fingers before. Also did you build the bow yourself?
Who doesnt love a good thing thats uniquely rough around the edges! Good stuff, could it go even more basic and primitive than this? Not to the point of being useless and ineffective, rather effective and even cheaper to craft? It doesnt have to be pretty. Big Demand? No, Big Plea or Polite Request? Yes.
GREAT VIDEO! I am not sure about OAK dowels? Maybe Birch or poplar? Have to check the dowels carefully? Maybe Flex them a bit? Reinforcing the nock was ingenious!
Hey Will! Great idea! I went through all that trouble to forge the thing, I really SHOULD protect it. Thanks for watching and for the request. I will add it to the list!
You should take in a count of the archer’s paradox when picking wood to make the shaft. If it doesn’t bend a little you maybe off target or the arrow can break on you. New arrow with new style bows not so much I would guess. Now the archer’s paradox if you watch a slow mo video of a arrow being shot the arrow flex in flight but still flys true that is the paradox. And if you took a top down view it like how. Because the string is inline to the body of the bow naturally. But it all works.
Blacksmithing looks pretty easy, at least when making basic shapes, so long as you have the right tools. I'm a bit sceptical that medieval peasants actually thought their blacksmiths were wizards now.
@@beardedgremlin8117 Oooh, what kinda channel you doing? Yes and no to the Instagram. I have my own and I started on for the channel but I need to be better about posting more often. voxcmg is my personal and kitcl3ver is gonna be the Skill Tree centered one.
A little bit of everything really probably gunna start with shop clean out and organization, building shop furniture and diy tools. Also to follow me along my journey of fighting with the VA. And lastly leaning to weld blacksmith and knife making. I’ll add both accounts in a few. Same name as here
I think you could technically use all of the skills on this arrow and mix it with the spoon arrow heads and then you have completely custom fairly easy build

Damn... I have to level up my blacksmithing 2 more levels.
could you try different types of arrows. i know the English had a vast range of different types of arrows. good videos, well done keep it up. all the best.
@@SkillTree No, you don't need to ad sub-titles, just take a deep breath after each sentence, and talk slowly. You are also very funny, and I enjoy your videos, thank you!
You can either use a heat gun or fire. Heat the area that needs to be corrected and bend it straight, letting it cool in the new position. You may need to over bend it a little to get it straight but it should stay when cooled.
for prepping the tip of your shaft actually USE a pencil sharpener ... it will set your point better and straight and show you how far down to carve the rest .... tbh a good normal and HB pencil hand sharpener you get your kids for skool are perfect ( yes skool they aint being educated they are being indoctrinated ... if they were being educated they would never have tried eating tide pods )
An arrow is not, has never been, and shall never be a cylinder. If it is a cylinder it will shatter if used with a good strong bow and shot by a good strong bowyer. Never. Use. Dowel. Find a 35 inch log, split it until you can't split it anymore. Put those split pieces into the chuck of a drill (get a bigger chuck, it'll pay itself off in no time) spin them up against an appropriate buttplate or home made lathe poppit and make your arrow, y'know - ARROW shaped. It'll cost you nothing (except a drill chuck if you only have a small one) and make you arrows from your own tree that'll last longer than your rotor cuffs can draw a bow.
bro, you left esentialy the exact same comment on my arrow making vid. find something better to do. dowel arrows work perfectly well for people who just want to make some cheap plinking arrows as long as you make them well.
Pretty sure most of the modern arrows you get at the store are cylindrical...and those get shot out of 70 pound compound bows or 200 pound crossbows with little issue. Hardware dowels are fine for arrow shafts, as long you select the right thickness and make sure the grain runs as straight as possible with no knots or defects. Not everyone has a 3 ft log lying around for splitting. For myself, I make my own shafts from straight grained pine boards cut to square blanks on my table saw, which I then round and taper with a hand plane and a jig I made.
@@tan7734 thanks! The arrow length is going to depend on your draw length. Check out my bow making video at nine minutes and 40 seconds to see how to determine that. ruclips.net/video/CCIYS02ipHk/видео.html
How so? Is it because I didn't cut the wood from a tree myself or mine the ore for the arrow head or pluck the feather from a bird? If so, that is like saying you can't cook something from scratch unless you have a farm and grew/slaughtered everything yourself.
From scratch implies base Ingredients, like sourcing the wood and making the shaft from raw wood… making the glue…. Steel is steel. Trying to make a wood tip arrow with my kid using nothing but stuff we can find in our backyard… not make a trip to the store… it’s perfectly fine video, very informative, and a good basis on how to build an arrow… the title just implies all natural materials…
Now I can go around telling people that they have failed their city

You could try to make linen or canvas tunic to be even more medieval. Its easy and you can do it even if you dont have a sewing machine.
Cool idea, Blackwing! There are a few canvas type projects I have my eye on. I shall add this one to the list! Thanks!
Awesome

Smashing the spine of the feather makes it easier to peel the feather from the spine.

Love the T- shirt. The scavenger is one of my favorite RUclipsr's
Yeah. Something about calling them trash pandas JUST tickles me 🤣. It's so needlessly derogatory towards the poor lil guys.
could you try different types of arrows. i know the English had a vast range of different types of arrows.
good videos, well done keep it up.
all the best.

Hey good video, what else could I use instead of a chainsaw file?
I liked this with a tremendous amount of force! :D Glad to see how you made this work! :)
Thanks for attacking that like button my good man!
You know technically you could have actually placed four feathers on there because of the Archer's Paradox which is the arrow bends around the bow
Arrows still rub against the bow when leaving the string.
Great job! Time to try your hand at book binding.
Oh! That sounds interesting! On The List! Thanks for watching!
Definitely! That helps level leathercraft and woodworking if you make a heavy book
2:30 Whoa whoa whoa, arrow yeah great, but that's how you really use Gorilla glue. 🤔🤔🤔🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯💯💯💯👍🏼
Will you make a quiver from leather?
I will! I am trying to decide if I should wait until Summer makes its way back. Winter here is no time for archery 😁
you can flatten your feathers with an iron. careful not to melt them.
I love it
ATLATL and dart?
Adam
Use all the left side or all right side of the feathers so the arrow will spin and fly strat
U could also use bull horn instead of the plastic credit card
what about making "riveted" chainmail?
I have a question. How do you straighten the dowel?
You can either use a heat gun or fire. Heat the area that needs to be corrected and bend it straight, letting it cool in the new position. You may need to over bend it a little to get it straight but it should stay when cooled.
How did you do that box trick
👍👍👍👍👍
Love the T-shirt but can you make some arrowheads to me
don't have home depo in the uk
What do you have for a large hardware store?
I feel like after making a bow and arrow... the obvious next step here is a leather quiver :)
Obvious, but surprisingly not on the list! Until now. Thanks for the request, and for watching!
Combine your bow and arrow build, bracers, assassin cloak, and then add a quiver and you have either a badass cosplay or a legit assassin costume
Great video man, first time watching your stuff and it was informative and fun to watch, will be watching more keep it up 🙂
“As if you were sharpening a pencil”
We sharpen pencils very differently I must say
for prepping the tip of your shaft actually USE a pencil sharpener ... it will set your point better and straight and show you how far down to carve the rest .... tbh a good normal and HB pencil hand sharpener you get your kids for skool are perfect ( yes skool they aint being educated they are being indoctrinated ... if they were being educated they would never have tried eating tide pods )
You forgot to barrel your arrow shaft. I havnt finished the video but I'd be willing to bet your arrows probly kick to the side a bit
