I recall the viewer recommending this fibre to reinforce already bought strings that Joerg was using. Naturally Joerg thought, why reinforce an inferior product with it when I just use it 100%. Well done both viewer & Joerg. Thanks to Joerg's instruction, industrious viewers can now apply this material & knowledge to produce & sell a range of the latest high strength quality completed bow strings, for those who would rather pay someone to do it, creating a new wave of business during bad times. Thankyou Joerg.

Joerg is a blessing for all slingshot and crossbow hobbyists. He doesn’t do this so much for profit but to freely inform others to better enjoy the hobby he loves so much.

There is another Archery channel that was trying different types of bow string options and he was using Dynema braided line to make a traditional multi loop type bow string, he was successful hand happy with the results.

Hey Joerg, you really had another great idea.

@Pystro

I wonder if you can swap over (from having the loose end of the eye inside the structural strands) to having the structurally loaded middle section inside the loose end... You'd just end up with a few millimeters where the two directions of the rope run side by side, but I guess for most bows/crossbows there should be a point where that doesn't get in the way of anything. As far as I can tell, it should be relatively trivial if you do this extra step on the first loop and then finish the second one as shown. Affixing the loose end of that sleeve section could even be a larger issue. I don't know if you could just use glue... If not, you could always swap them a second time.

Ten days ago I had never heard of Dyneema, I'm already convinced enough to give it a try! And I just got my siege too! Joerg, you are one of my favorite people on the net! Keep it up!!

Die Armbrust hat sich über 2000 Jahre kaum geändert, ebenso wenig die Sehnen. Doch in den letzten 30 Jahren oder so macht die Armbrust-technik einen Quantensprung nach dem anderen. Ich komme mit ausprobieren kaum noch nach. 😉 Klasse Video 😁 Danke.

As a professional amateurist archer since the age of 5 I guess, and making my own bows, arrows and crossbows since the age of 7 or so, now that I am 55 years old I can confess to you all that this is the first time I hear about dyneema strings. By the age of 15 the kitchen string (cotton) was already not good enough to me, my weapons started to pull more towards 50 Lbs of force, and I was doubling them, trippling them, than it became bulky... so I used bicycle brakes cable, stainless steel or steel, as I find them in the shops. Done so for decades, the 4 mm and 6 mm brakes cables worked miracles, good in time, holding thousands of shoots before getting damaged, just nasty to splice to form the eyelets, but I got used with the idea and spliced them like a boss for decades. I also learned that if I place inner eyelts metal protections that section can last longer, and if I put arrow/trigger spot protection (like a short tube) to mitigate fricton, the result is longer life. I shall assume Dyneema too, if protected in those 3 points (inner eyelts and trigger/arrow friction point) might last longer too. Besides looks far easier to splice. I am ordering some now, time to go modern.

When you talked about Dyneema the other day, I had a feeling I would be seeing it again. That is awesome stuff. Great work there. I'm sure the people at Dyneema love it as well. Best of Days.

Such a genius, and making this open source as well.

Crossbow strings generally last 1-2000 shots if they’re made well as I understand… it’s recommended to change every two years regardless. I think repeating crossbows are different- that lower poundage and higher cycle rate of stretching probably suits a braided line better.

Thank You Joerg on your expertise and innovations!!!!!!

Joerg ,. when you bury the end,. if you taper the end of the string a few cm , by cutting a couple of strands, ...it's much easier to pull it through.

This is HUGE!! something so simple nobody saw before!!! braided vs parallel strands. You have given the archery world most than anybody else in the last 40 years!

Great and informative video. It's fantastic that you show easy to make tools from objects found around the home.

I kinda want to see how it works on a recurve bow. This had single handedly improved archery by a lot, imagine if your rifle broke or deformed heavily it's firing pin every 10-30 shots, good stuff Joerg!

Simply genius. Im going to use this on my selfbows too. No more endless hassle with serving. Thanks Joerg!!!

Thank you Joerg, I appreciate you a lot. You have introduced to me a great new adventure and a hobby in the best manner possible. This dyneema tutorial is amazing and works great!

I had some problems with the eye serving of my bow recently and I am unsure how to repair that. As a relatively new archer I would love to not worry about my string and it's maintenance. So I will try this with my olympic recurve and see how well it works.

Thanks for this video Joerg! I have been struggling for some time to thread through braided cord, and your DIY tools may just do the trick! My use for spliced cords is whoopie slings for suspending a hammock while camping; one end is spliced as you show with three or so pass throughs. But the other is only buried through a length of about 15-20cm once. This allows it to slip though when unloaded and the length to be adjusted. I got so frustrated with my attempts to splice I researched kumihimo, a Japanese braiding technique (lots of videos online). While I can achieve the same thing, it takes way longer. It does offer more opportunities tho. Thanks for all your great videos!

I had no idea that's how it's done, video saved for future reference. I could easily apply it to other things too. It also looks strong and very neat without the knots sticking out. Keep up the good work, and I wish you continued success!

Dyneema is amazing in its hollow braid configuration for splices (like Joreg shows), but it is also widely used as a core for many ropes. Many rope companies will use an Aramid outer sheath (like Technora) for abrasion resistance combined with a dyneema core for even more resilience. Technora is another wonder material. Its like Kevlar, but on steroids. It has a much higher melting point and good abrasion resistance, so its great as a outer protective sheath and is almost as strong as SK-75 or 78. Definitely a good one to check out.

Don't just use any random "paracord", buy good stuff with an actual rating online or at a store that specializes in ropes and cordage. You're looking for cord that meets "Military Specification C-5040H". Use some inner strands from a waste piece to do the wrapping at the nocking point.

Yay! I now know how to splice a hollow rope for an eyelet😁! Thanks, Joerg! I'm using this technique on my long bows, cross-bows, and bamboo short bows.

Nice one Joerg! Fantastic idea! Thanks for sharing 💡👍

Hey Joerg, I think that something happened with the audio of the video

Has anyone tried using Kevlar rope as a crossbow string? It should be stronger than Dyneema. A 3.5mm Kevlar rope can hold 800kg

It is kevlar. Dyneema is a trademark. You can even find cheaper non-branded UHMWPE

@@trollmcclure1884 Its not kevlar -kevlar is Dupont(company that polluted west virginia river with teflon making chemicals ) trademark for Poly p-phenylene terephthalamide. While dyneema is trademark for ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene. So its not the same .

@@zumbazumba1 indeed not the same thing. However my point is that you dont need Dyneema brand for ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene. It can be Spectra or just UHMWPE

3mm Dyneema offcuts rated 900kg that I had used for sails, tested to destruction exceeded 1000kg

@@louiscannell6274 It's actually a pretty bad result. It's a good custom that ropes and climbing equipment usually has to withstand at least 30% more than its rating before failing. It's probably your fault tho. Your test was not standardized. It failed in the knot or on the edge of a carabiner. You need at least a controlled setup like the bench used by HowNOT2.

I just made my first string for my AR-6, i did it by hand, so no nails in a piece of tinder and it turned out pretty good for the first try. One of the eyelets was a little bigger then i hoped, but i compensate that on my second eyelet. I'm pretty happy with the result!

Jeorg your content is so unique and full of soul and meaning. Thank you for all your hard work. The concept of splicing was super cool and reminds me of a Kline bottle, I wonder if there's some math applications here.

Anyone else having no sound?

String theory 🤣

Excellent work! Keep on pushing the boundaries.

as an engineering student i am so jealous of your discovery! this string sounds very efficient

why 360p..!!

Brilliant!! Someone get this guy a lifetime achievement award!

Very nice Joerg ! I have a slightly different method . For years now I have been serving just the centre section of original string with dynema about 1.5mm thick . Sold for game fishing . All you need is to learn the simple whipping not used for fly tying. Merry Christmas to you my Flower. May you get what you desearve for christmas 😎

That helping string would be so awesome for my crossbows. Thanks for the video and I want that co2 assisted one now!
