How I shoot them. Text description and a ~1MB .MPG movie.
A .txt file describing how I forge the heads with some clarifying comments at the end. [Read this before bothering with the movies below]
and some ~1MB .MPGs demonstrating the forging processes of making the socket, making the point, and truing up.
(the truing-up movie has a glitch at the end, it's still somewhat
useful. it's the movie, not your machine. sorry. I'll be re-doing these
in the future)
A .jpg detailing how I made the
'glove' I shoot with.
NOTA
BENE: This is not a medieval design in any way, shape or form, it is my
way of quickly building something I can shoot with with the tools and
materials I have at hand. It is basically a modern three-fingered
shooting glove but without the modern elastic and velcro.
Someone else's excellent rant on the language we use on the line.
Maybe someday in my superfluous leisure I'll get around to photographing and describing how I do Flemish strings without a jig; just a knife, the ball of string, a lump of beeswax and the bow itself.
