Primitve arrow fletching How to video - Enjoy!
« on: April 30, 2013, 09:28:30 pm »
I just posted a how to video on youtube detailing how I fletch primitive arrows with sinew wrapping.  I am sure there are many other ways it could be done, but comments are certainly welcome.  Any feedback on how I can improve my how-to videos would be appreciated too.  It is 25 mins long...get out the popcorn!  :o

Awesome video.  Something I will keep in my bookmarks.  My only feedback on the video, and this comes from a public speaking standpoint, is the over use of the word "uh" at the start of the video.  About one third of the way through you stop saying it, but just a few too many times in the beginning.  Hope this helps and have a wonderful day.

Thanks guys.  I am glad it was useful.  there are lots of things I will do differently on the next how to video.  Paul, my 11 year old daughter pointed that out too.  Funny how often I say that without realizing it.  Gonna be a hard habit to uh, er break.   ::)

It really it.  I always used "Um" until when speaking one time someone came to me and showed where he counted me saying "Um" over 150 times in a 10 min speech.  I had to work very hard to get out of the habit.  Hope it helped.

I like it. That's how I fletch my arrows too but I usually use artifical sinew.  :)

Video presentation seemed allright, fletching is a long process so it make sense for it to take awhile.

One thing that might make it more viewer friend is if you post the times of various land marks of the fletching phases in the description so if they want to check a certain part, they don't have to scour the whole vid to find it. Example: "Painting on Hide glue @ 19:20"

Thanks guys.  Greg, that is a vinegar sttel wool stain that you can make at home.  Simply place your old steel wool pads in a jar of white vinegar and wait a couple weeks.  This particular batch has had rusty bits of steel added too and it came out really dark. 

Thanks Christian Soldier.  That is a an excellent idea.  I will do that.
