Del's Build-along Youtube Videos
« on: December 06, 2015, 04:05:25 am »
I recently did an ELB and someone had said that he'd never actually seen a video of someone rough out a stave on a bandsaw.
So, I videoed that, and having done so decided to follow the whole process through to the finished bow.
It's 10 videos, most pretty short but some about 10 minutes.
It was a lot of work and I won't do it again!
Hopefully it's a useful source for relative newbies and I've tried to show stuff that other people gloss over or ignore.
The list of links is on my blog here:-

Please feel free to put comments on Youtube, as it's good to get quality feedback.

BTW. Admin, please feel free to move it to the How to/build along section if considered appropriate.

I've watched it already and I loved it. A great resource and the bow looks fantastic too! :-)

Good job on both the bow and the video, Del. Love the accent too.
Straight wood may make a better bow, but crooked wood makes a better bowyer

Del it is nice to put a face and a voice to  a name.  Makes me want to come hang out with you--or invite you to Utah!--you are welcome any time.  Also make me want to try some yew.

I will most likely never get my hands on some yew but it was pleasure watching you shape that piece into a bow.  This 'sickness' is definitely a global problem   :laugh:

I'd like to see a full yew war bow build. From stave to finished bow.

Would get thousands of views!  ;)

Pass on that knowledge buddy ;D
