~~google~~

GDADZGSONS says: Feb 4, 2013. 7:05 PM REPLY

um the instructable is not loading properly so can you help me out a bit? How long are the limbs, and what wood should i use for the handle?

GDADZGSONS says: Feb 5, 2013. 5:44 AM REPLY

ok, never mind the limb question because they look like 50cms. I could use oak or poplar right?

PaulReynolds says: Jan 6, 2012. 12:20 AM REPLY

Ok so the next step would be to use fiberglass tent poles on each end and you got a pritty powerful bow.

Good job, I hope your son is having a great time this

I need a REST

gedgreen says: Jan 5, 2011. 11:52 AM REPLY

it mean's the hole size

iac says: Nov 11, 2010. 5:20 PM REPLY

pulgada is Spanish for 'INCH'.

But I don't understand what you mean by 1/2 inch PVC. Perhaps the thickness of the plastic ?
What is the DIAMETER of the PVC pipe please ??

Billgun21 says: Dec 28, 2010. 11:25 PM REPLY

HALF A INCH= 1/2. Half a inch is English for HALF A INCH meaning in diameter.
-_-

Thanks for the info ! IAC.

I'm pretty sure he's reffering to standard 1/2 inch, schedule 40 PVC pipe, rated at 590 W.P. psi. Average inside diameter is just over 1/2 inch, average
outside diameter is just over 3/4 inch. Available at any hardware store. If you're still unsure ask a store attendant, they might even cut it to length for you
if you ask.

ricardoruizo says: Nov 12, 2010. 7:37 PM REPLY

commercially known in Colombia as a tube of 1 / 2.
The diameter is 22 mm

Me parece muy interesante tu diseo, solo te recomendaria que cubrieras el pvc con algun tipo de cinta ya sea aislante o de cualquier otro tipo, ya que el pvc
despues de exponerse al sol, tiende a hacerse quebradizo, el problema es que al quebrarse puede generar astillas, las cuales facilmente pueden penetrar la
piel, otra peculiaridad del pvc es que no se detecta con los rayos X por lo que si te encajas una astilla puedes necesitar de cirugia para la extraccion (claro esto
en casos extremos)

Is it possible to increase the draw weight? I hear from other it can be done by adding smaller diameter PVC tube inside the original one. Does that work?
Because i want my first diy bow can be upgradable.

Yes, if possible. the inner tube should be slightly shorter than the outside, so that the tip of the blade lighter than the base.
Looking at this another

Whats the draw weight on this bow?

ricardoruizo says: Nov 18, 2010. 4:34 PM REPLY

20 lbs

arte.sano says: Nov 16, 2010. 4:04 PM REPLY

nice! I think you can use a CPVC too (used for hot water), a bit more sturdy than regular PVC.

CPVC es una alternativa a PVC regular, mucho mas fuerte tambien.

Excelente trabajo.
