How to build a Flight Bow - #3
Horn and wood are successfully glued together: This part is all about shaping. I let my files run hot for this. Here again are the exact measurements for height and width - measured from the center of the handle in 5 cm steps up to the tips:
0cm: 22 mm width / 30 mm height minus 4 mm for sinew layer
5cm: 20 mm width / 21 mm height minus 4 mm for sinew layer
10cm: 23.5 mm width / 17.5 mm height minus 4 mm for sinew layer
15cm: 22.5 mm width / 14 mm height minus 4 mm for sinew layer
20cm: 22 mm width / 12.5 mm height minus 4 mm for sinew layer
25cm: 20 mm width / 12 mm height minus 4 mm for sinew layer
30cm: 19.5 mm width / 10 mm height minus 2 mm for sinew layer
35cm: 18 mm width / 12.5 mm height minus 2 mm for sinew layer
40cm: 17 mm width / 12.5 mm height minus 2 mm for sinew layer
45cm: 15.5 mm width / 12.5 mm height
50cm: 9 mm width / 14 mm height

@@m.bitious about 45 pounds by 28 inches, but I didn't measure. 108cm ntn. I have a Facebook page where I post posts with bows, I can't post a link, YT doesn't allow it, but it's called "Traditional bows kuba mazurkiewicz-traditional handmade bows"

@@jackobmazurkewicz oh wow, I see you're totally into ottoman bows. That looks great. Maybe I should work on more than one at the same time, too 😀. How do you plan on coating the sinew? Cheers, my friend

@@m.bitious for now, I will do one at a time, i.e. I will glue the horn and place the tendons one at a time. When I gain experience, I will glue 3 at a time, this Turkish horn bow of mine is made of muflon horn bamboo and deer sinew with hide glue. the core is made of bamboo, mulberry and acacia
Great Job! .My question is what are the last angels of bow?? and what are the angels of the bendding jig?? Thank you .

Hey, so far the angle at the handle is 15°, at the kasan eye 35° and between kasan and tip it is 45° - so over all slightly more than 90° - but I will increase the angles when applying the sinew. The bedding jig itself has two angles. The first one is around 40° (but a little bit more rounded), the second one is roughly 50°. I hope that helps. Cheers
How does it feel in your hands? Because wow, that has a pretty shape already. Great work, glad to see you were able to get this posted!

Hey mate, it feels surprisingly light so far. But it's it has a good balance. But compared to my first ottoman it feels really elegant (don't wanna say tiny 😀). Cheers

@@m.bitious I believe it! When you were scraping at 7:35 I couldn't help but think how comfortable that handle looks. And you are right, "elegant" is the right word. The lines you have on this bow where the horn + wood meet as well as the v-joint handle you showed at the very end look incredible. Just excellent & elegant work yet again! Hope your business trip went well!

@@Couponuser16 thanks a lot, my friend. And it really vibrates great. If you hold the grip and knock on a limb it vibrates just perfect. Feels like beeing pretty close to final dimensions. Even without sinew. Yeah my trip was all right. In the end we had to fly because all trains were grounded due to heavy rainfall. That sucked a bit from an ecological perspective. But anyways, I'm happy to be back home again 😊. Cheers, my friend
