Thank you!

The reason for a foreshaft is so that when the animal runs away through the brush they don't break your entire dart, causing you to have to make an entire new one. The foreshaft separates from the dart and if it breaks it is easier to replace.

He has a good point in a way though, practical application for most would be target or maybe small game/fish both of which a foreshaft probably isn't a real need and could actually be a hindrance.

yup, this is exactly what an indigenous hunter would say if you asked him

I'll have to try my hand at making an atlatl from palmetto before that tutorial comes out. There's certainly no shortage of them here in Florida lol

Nice demo thanks, great to see a copper age point made.

Bob's mustache is better than mine

Great work

That’s awesome! I’ll be using that! Where do you get the flat pieces of copper

Tremendous!!! PERFECTION PATRIÓTIC

I actually made 1 tip with an arrow adapter so I could use a real broadhead. And I made another one with I think cement nails filed down and hugged with pex pipe heated up with a heat gun.

You should make a video of you demonstrating it and how to do it

I think that I heard that you use 16 gauge copper, if using steel, do you also use 16 gauge? If so, and with both, without spending $1000's of dollars, what tool do you use to cut your metal?

Exposure to a flow of compressed air will harden the copper also.

where did he go?

Hi bob I made an atlatl with my grandfather similar to the Catonk hunter and a basic atlatl out of a piece of sassafras wood do you have any tips on aiming I got the form down but I can’t hit my target

practice and aiming for a small target helps.

Deverian trabajar haciendo Doritos!!ja,ja,ja no se crea !!excelente trabajo...wodwork!!

Bob's accent really sounds like he's from Scandi-America! The way he says "cone" - and a few other tiny little things... I'm guessing maybe somewhere in the Mon-Dak region, but maybe more NoDak... But, somewhere in there for sure! LOL The only thing missing, was an "Uff Da" and a "Ja, you betcha."

You are right about the Scandi-American thing but I grew up in Upstate New York.

@@robertberg588 LOL - well, that's close enough to meet my personal standard for accent accuracy. You look like you would fit right in at a saloon in Minot, ND! To the point that I thought, 'Hmm, wonder if I know that guy, or someone that does know him..." It's a small territory. :) My great-grandfather came over from Norway in late 1800s.

So no 3rd video??

Yes, we did have copper

I am pretty sure you can still buy handbook with all details you need on woodprix.

im not 100 percent sure about copper, but with other metals the way you harden it is by heating it up and them dunking it in water and the way you anneal it is to heat it up and let it cool down just by itself

It looks exactly like Bohning Ferr-L-Tite Point Glue. You can get it at most archery shops and online.

In a pinch, you could use ordinary modern hotmelt glue sticks, or pine resin, or even a bit of road tar.
