Post by: triton on May 23, 2009, 05:29:12 am: Do you have music on your video?
There has been some tightening of loopholes on youtube, particularly music video. Don't know why England has been singled out for this copyright stuff. Or have we? do other countries suffer this? Some youtube download tools and sites no longer work either.

Post by: alanesq on May 23, 2009, 05:34:00 am: If all else fails, if you can get the video to myself I can post it on Youtube under my U.K. account for you

BTW - Nice looking bows - the bamboo looks great :-)

Post by: nickf on May 25, 2009, 10:32:58 am: thanks Triton! that was probably the problem here. And Alan, thanks for the kind offer! but I'm glad it's working now.
mole, the limbs of the flatty are about 1/2" thick. including the boo backing.
thanks Ratty, and Tom!

Title: Re: some warbows I made - working VID!
Post by: DarkSoul on July 03, 2009, 06:36:49 am: Pretty thick. Actually a bit too thick for my likings, but it appears to work. It's at least 1/8" but probably closer to 3/16"
(In case you are wondering: I'm the guy shooting in the vid as well ;) )
