The set goes over everything you would need to know. However, you won't fully understand what this book is talking about until you start covering your work space floor with wood shavings, traditional bowyer bible volume 3 pdf download. My advice is read the section you want are about to tackle.
As you read just know that whatever you don't understand is something you probably won't understand until you get your hands dirty. After you tackle that part of the process, go back and re-read the section. You will have all sorts of little light bulbs going off.
This is used more as a reference for bowyering, not a read it once and you are good to go. You will learn something almost every time you read over this. So read it, try it, read it again.
These volumes also have extensive sections on different styles of bows and arrows through different era's and cultures. Some of these bows will blow your mind, traditional bowyer bible volume 3 pdf download, but also seeing all these different styles helps to build your confidence in making your own bow. There are so many types and styles you feel less likely to screw up, because if your bow doesn't come out the way you wanted it to, it most likely came out in a way that one culture or another used for centuries.
If you are serious about wanting to be a bowyer at any level, take the plunge and get the set. You won't regret it. I bought volumes 1 and 2 several years ago, at a going out of business sale at a certain national book chain whose name rhymes with "hoarders.
I only got around to reading them a few months ago, and traditional bowyer bible volume 3 pdf download then I've not only bought volumes 3 and 4 to complete my set, I've been busy searching my basement for my old archery supplies, doing a tool inventory to see what I have in my home shop that I could use for bowmaking, and inspecting boards at the local big box home supply store, looking for hardwood boards with thick growth rings and minimal runout.
I've even cut down a sapling behind my garage and whittled it into a simple neolithic bow. All the volumes in the series offer a wealth of information for anyone interested in making bows from wood; Volume 3 is of particular interest to the paleolithic archer, with its chapters on flintknapping and making a bow in the true paleolithic fashion, starting with a stone hand axe and a sapling.
There's also quite a bit on Native American bows and arrows, ranging from the neolithic styles through the copper and steel tipped bows of the later 18th and 19th Centuries. There's information on Asians bows, from Japan and Korea, and a chapter on African bows as well.
This is great reading for all archers, even you heathens who favor compound bows. Unlike the first two, which were somewhat convoluted but heavier on crafting information, traditional bowyer bible volume 3 pdf download, this volume mostly covers historical trivia and decorating details about historical bows and arrows.
It does not really improve the "how-to-make-it" knowledge base of people who are looking to craft their traditional bowyer bible volume 3 pdf download. I only wanted to make a simple, inexpensive bow, and the history held no great interest for me; I found very little in this volume to add to the information already found in the first two volumes. This final volume 3 of this series has very useful instructional information concerning bow making tools, take down two piece bows, stone age bows, stone points knappingand making arrows.
Bow designs from many cultures around the world are examined and explained in detail. The tools mentioned range from simple hand tools, such as the wood rasp, to power tools, like the band saw. Power tools are not needed to make these bows, but can save time. Properly made arrows are a very important part of archery gear, and this voulme shows how they are made correctly and traditional bowyer bible volume 3 pdf download using a variety of woods and fletchings, traditional bowyer bible volume 3 pdf download.
Other chapters explain bow designs such as the asymetrical yumi bow from Japan, the materials for composite bows of Korea, and the hole nocks from some African bows. It can be read as a history or as a 'Maker's' bible of archery. If you're going to embark on this journey then you need to start here. I wanted to get into bowyering and fletching and kept hearing rave reviews about this series of books.
The reviews are right, the 3 book series of the Bowyers Bible is absolutely incredible, and my results were pretty impressive. Thanks Jim Hamm, I now can shoot traditional bowyer bible volume 3 pdf download own bows and arrows with pride.
The four volume set, is an unparalleled source of knowledge for anyone interested in constructing traditional bows and arrows. It is a joy to read. No matter the type of traditional bow that interests you, instruction can be found in this set. See all reviews from the United States. Top international reviews. Translate all reviews to English. Although this review is for one volume of this series, it is impossible to ignore the other volumes in the set. This series of books provides everything you need to know to turn a tree into a fully functional bow.
It caters for all required depths of knowledge, traditional bowyer bible volume 3 pdf download, with instructions for making a particular type of bow, through to the science of bow making and provides tables and calculations needed to design and produce a bow specifically designed to fulfill your requirements.
This includes historical information and also primitivist and traditional skills such as making glue from sinue and the use of other materials. The information of choosing the right wood and methods for harvesting wood are excellent. The text is written by numerous authors who are each respected experts in their own specialism, which means that this series of books originally intended to be a three volume set but an additional volume was added to provide and even more in depth scientific approach to the subject handy for nerds like me.
Each author has their own writing style, and the text can be humorous at the same time and stuffed full of anecdotes and confessions which encourage the reader to have a go and not worry about screwing up. The drawback with the series is that although the first volume provides enough information to produce a bow, the other three volumes especially vol 2 and 3 are essential to gain the full benefit of the awesome knowledge and experience these bowyers have generously imparted to the reader.
Calling any series the "bible" of a subject is a bold and brave claim, in this instance however, I totally agree.
If the price for the full set is prohibitive, I would recommend buying volume one first Tim Bakers chapter on bow design is incredibly comprehensive by itself and not to be missedthen look at the description of contents of the other volumes and buy accordingly, as and when you have the spare cash.
If you can only afford to splash out on one set of books on the subject, then this, to me is the one to go for. One person found this helpful. Thank you for your feedback. Sorry, we failed to record your vote.
Please try again. More of the same mix from Jim Hamm's team, but with more cultural and historical background in this volume. Some fascinating articles on archery traditions around the world - did you know about the long history of archery in Africa? I didn't know there was one! This is even less of a step-by-step guide than the first two volumes - this is far more of a "know where you're coming from, so you can see where you are going" book. It really is a "Bowyer's Bible".
My husband has read the print off this book. I have found this series of books absolutly brilliant.
