Bro. A crude knife, a wood stove, a hand adze, some string, and 10,000 hours of practice to turn wood, sinew, and horn into one of the most elegant weapons to ever exist. I'm blown away. The film making was exceptional as well. He managed to show how tedious and time consuming the process is... in a way that was beautiful enough for me to be captivated the whole time. bravo. outstanding.

His videos should be preserved as an archives. What a craftsmanship man!

한국인도 아니신 것 같고 궁장에게 전수 받지 않고서는 이렇게 잘 만들기 어려운데 정말 국궁 제작에 진심이신 분이네요. 아주 멋진 영상 잘 보고 갑니다.

This man's videos should be saved in a time capsule for future generation .. they will need to know how it all began

This Channel is the Textbook definition of Quality over quantitiy

The tools and the way the bow is created are just what I've seen from Korean bow master years ago. Such a magnificent work.

Just imagine the level of thinking and trial and errors for the original craftsmen to perfect this piece of art. Maybe it took a few generations to perfect this. You Sir as a modern human being deserve all the respect for your dedication, patience and incredible achievement. I bow to this!

입에 담기 어려울 정도로 완벽하다. 처음 영상볼때 그냥 각궁 리뷰하는 정도이겠거니 하고 들어왔더니 장인 정신이 가득 담긴 다큐멘터리를 보고 가네....... 정말 훌륭한 활입니다. 이역만리 벽안의 각궁장 선생님 부디 손 조심하시고 건강 잘 챙기셔서 오래 오래 작업 하시길 기도하겠습니다.

I am always amazed at the incredible power and performance you can get out of this bow, which is (only) made entirely of natural materials. The bow is extremely light, it looks thin and almost rickety and yet there is so much power in it. Absolutely great and a very good job from this brilliant bow maker.

Hello, I'm a Korean viewer. Korean archery takes a long time to produce using composite materials, and it is difficult to produce easily, but it has reproduced the history of Korean archery. Your technology is amazing.

This, ladies and gentlemen, is art in its purest form.

한국 전통 활을 외국인이 이토록 진심으로 만들다니.. 놀랍습니다. 뽕나무, 대나무, 물소뿔, 민어부레, 소심줄, 등 구하기도 쉽지 않은 재료를 다 구해서 직접 만들다니 대단합니다. 한국 활은 가까운 거리의 적을 직사로 쏘기도 했지만, 전쟁 시에 이 활은 사거리가 먼 활이라서 보다 더 먼 거리 적을 약간의 곡사로 쏘아 죽이는 데 더 많이 사용된 활로 알고 있습니다.

불가르인의 후손께서 지구 반대편의 한국 전통활을 직접 만드시다니 감회가 새롭습니다.

Another incredible bow. It's hard to pick a favorite over the last 2 years . This may be it .

자귀 다루는 솜씨가 웬만한 한국인 보다 훨씬 능숙하군요. 존경 스럽습니다.

맙소사! 대부분 진짜 한국 전통 방식으로 제작 하네요.. 전수 받지 않고서는 저렇게 만들 수가 없을텐데 아주 제대로군요. 멋집니다!

진짜 대단하십니다. 한국활은 만들기 어려운 무기인데 잘 만드렀내요^^

I am Korean. This is absolutely authentic Korean Gak goong making (100% handtool + natural material) . Good Job!

놀랍내요. 처음에 외국분이 나와서 놀랐는데, 도구부터 공정, 재료까지 진짜 한국 전통 각궁 만드는 방법을 사용하니 한번 더 놀랐습니다. 이분 어디서 이런걸 배우신거지?

Чудесный лук,с ним не сравниться никакой ламинированный...то,как вылетает стрела,звук и сила--- много говорят о душе мастера...вы любите своё дело,это ваша жизнь...за это мой поклон вам...вы похоже единственный человек, который делает натуральные живые луки всех народов...кстати, местами очень интересный подход к исполнению...

work of a MASTER indeed almost one hour and 20 minutes just went by so fast with my eyes fixed on the work

Me - watching intensively My brain - how are you doing that? Him - continues doing what he's doing....

You are one of the best KZfaqrs I’ve ever seen; good job and keep up the good work!! Thank you!!!

Wow, you brought your skills to perfection over years, it was real pleasure watching you make this work of art!!

Gorgeous!! As a Korean,I am so shamed of myself as not good at my culture like you.

분명 외국인이고 외국인데, 사용하는 도구부터 재료, 틀, 사용하는 모든 방법은 물론 자세까지 모두 장인의 그것이다....

Wow what a powerful bow, I enjoyed every second watching you make that. I like all the things you make this is an awesome channel

The traditional Korean bow is difficult to make even for Koreans because it is difficult to obtain materials and the manufacturing process is complicated. You seem like a beautiful soul. thank you.

한국 방송사 다큐 보다 훨씬 깔끔하게 잘 만든 영상이네요. 애깃살까지 나왔음 대박일텐데 ㅋ

Hits like a truck. Very beautiful bow.

와.. 정말 놀랍습니다. 섬세한 작두질에 옛 공정 그대로 해주시니, 한국인으로서 감사 드립니다.^^

This man is a craftsman indeed. So slow and meticulous and patient. Fantastic vid. Can you imagine a king or emperor or chief coming to him for 50 new bows for a campaign in 30 days?!

Oh My God, I've never seen a foreigner reproduce Korean gakung so perfectly. amazing!!!!

Вдъхновена работа Стиляне и прекрасно видео! Благодаря ти, че ми припомняш за света на камъка и дървото и силата на ръката, която прави красота! Пожелавам ти щастливи празници и да продължаваш да ни радваш!

Как всегда с восхищением смотрю ваше видео. Спасибо вам за то, что показываете как в руках мастера рождается чудо. В современном мире многие не понимают какого труда стоит хорошая вещь.

?! 외국인이 이걸 어떻게 배웠지???ㅋㅋㅋㅋ 와우 ㅋㅋㅋ 대단해!!! 당신의 기술은 최곱니다. 이것은 아시아에서 가장 강력한 활을 만드는 방법.

Спасибо за новое видео,давно вас не было.Смотрю как полноценный художественный фильм.Очень круто и интересно.Еще раз благодарю за ваше творчество.

Again you make an incredible bow. Your craftsmanship is top level. What a beautiful bow. 🤩🙏👌 thank you so much for sharing.

Fantastic yet again! Your work is incredible and your videos always eagerly awaited. Thank you!

한국전통활을 10년넘게 쏘고있는 궁사입니다. 전통 한국활을 이렇게 잘만드다니 놀라울 따름입니다. 한국에서 수년간 배우신듯 합니다^^ 천연재료로 만들지만 작지만 가볍고 힘있게 멀리날아가는 뛰어난 활이 한국전통활인 각궁입니다.

Amazing and authentic work, as always. I enjoy all of your video's, every time!

That was awesome, You really did it the most authentic way, and it turned out beautiful, that’s definitely a work of art, I have it always wanted to make one of those

각궁을 독학헸거나 누구에게 직접 배우지 않았다면 저런 기술이 나올 수 없음. 취미로 선택한 궁에 대한 놀라운 집념과 지대한 관심이 없다면 결코 얻을 수 없는 기쁨이란 게 분명 있습니다. 쓰는 도구들이나 과정을 보니 우리 궁에 대한 애정이 깊은 것으로 여겨집니다. 좋은 영상 즐겁게 시청했습니다.❤❤🧡🧡💚💚💜💜💞💞

와~~~ 궁시장이여?? 대단하다 우리나라 각궁을 외국인이 저렇게까지만든다고? 우리나라 궁시장님한테배운건가?너무 똑같이하는데? 와우 대단해요!! 응원할께요!! 우리나라 활을 좋아해줘서 감사합니다!!

Браво! Нямам думи. Просто велик. Лъкът стана - един път. Майстор голям си.

놀랍네요. 공정과 재료가 까다롭기로 유명한 한국 전통활을 영상과 문헌만으로 이렇게까지 재현해내다니 존경스럽습니다.

와 한국의 활 만드는게 진짜 어려운 일인데 이걸 성공하시네 유럽의 중세에는 나라에서 총력을 기울여 연구해도 못하던건데 대단하심

Best New Years Eve i ever spent.....Thank you. 🙏

한국 어디선가 배운분이네요 각궁 제작과정이 일치하네요 특히 활을 다른 나무재질로 접합하는게 한국 활의 특징입니다. 쇄기형태로 이어붙여 본드처리 하는게 전통기술이죠. 저러면 부분부분의 탄력도가 최상으로 되어 작지만 아주 멀리가는 활이 되죠. 조막손, 톱, 짜구등 공구도 그대로 입니다

이 사람 뭐지? 전수 받지 않고 저렇게 디테일하게 만들기 어려운데. 각궁을 전수자 처럼 만들다니...

You are one of the channels, which inspired me to get into bow making, much respect to you, Stiliyan!

A Master of a Bow Maker, and you just watched a Masterpiece in Creation. Totally amazing man, and he made a totally amazing bow.

Such a wonderful work, I always admire your work and always learn a lot. I am just finishing my fist bow. Thank you for teaching us 🙏

I clicked on it thinking that it was made by a traditional Korean artisan. As a Korean, I respect you.

All your videos are awesome and informative, i only hope one day i can take the day to start making one of these bows you so patiently enjoy making.

Good job... I'm surprised knowing you are not korean. Because making korean traditional bow requires highly trained skills and well prepared materials. Thanks for your efforts.

Amazing! Great workmanship. And all done with simple handtools. That's how I like it. That bow is a masterpiece. But the video also! Deserves to be awarded for Best Documentary.

What wonderful work, I enjoyed every seconds of your work, thank you 🙏 for sharing it

Wonderful..! Yes you have done it again my friend. Another informative and educational video full of fascinating and important detail that will be appreciated for many years to come. Again congratulations!

Bro! You did amazing works.Incredible.

Thanks bro for preserving the past, it's going to mean so much for the future.

Dang man your a freaking boss how do you do it so good I'm telling you if God requested a bow you'd be the Bowyer he'd ask to make it an I've seen alot of bow builders you top um all you put tons of hard work in to your builds you can see an tell your at the top of your class if I could build things the way you can I'd spit on everything else amazing work

Хвала за всичко и благодаря! Много вдъхновяваш, бъди здрав, шарен и споделен!

Your skills with various tools, and even a lack of tools makes you a tremendous craftsman. Your an inspiration to many crafters, it's always nice to see your work, enjoy your great lent.

The grooves left in the surface of the wood and horn allow them to key to each other and to increase glue surface area.

simple tools, masterpiece

Great skill and knowledge... But what impress me the most is the amount of patience this man have

The precision of that adze work is phenomenal. I'd bet two camels that he forged it himself

Fantastic as always. Hope we see an inuit antler bow build one day. You're the best of the best in bow making!!

Beautifull Landscape. And a beautifull Korean Bow.

제작자가 한국인이 아니라 서양인인 것에 상당히 놀랐다. 당신의 열정에 박수를.

The arts in its purest form! Great craftsmanship master. Love from 🇧🇩 Bangladesh.

You do honor to the traditional Korean bow. Magnificent.

It is a privilege to watch a master at work. Thank you, Sir!

Water buffalo horns are not native to Korea, so there are several bows made of native bulls or deer horns in Korea. The weakness of Korean bows is the glue made from the gills of a sea fish Brown croaker, which is weak against moisture. So I always keep it in a place without moisture, and then I supplemented it with a fish shell so that it can be used in summer. Cow horns native to Korea are short in length, so they are made of glue called glue made by collecting cow tendons and oils, which can be used both in summer and winter, but are weaker than those made of buffalo(bubalis) horns.

I would not have the patience to do all this! We are lucky that you do. Beautiful bow.

각궁 잘 만드셨네요. 한국에도 아마 몇 안될겁니다. 이렇게 잘 만드실 분이.

Not only a great craftsman but a artist as well . Double thumbs up on this video .

Nice work bro. Impecable at each detail.

멋집니다. 한국 각궁과 거의 같게 만들었네요 퀄리티도 너무 좋아 보입니다. 늘 잘보고 있습니다^^

와 대박 정말 어려운 작업인데 외국인이 대단합니다.

I was waiting this video. Thanks!

Congratulations on yet another beautiful bow and excellent video!

Oh my god~ did you learn from Korean artisans? The material or method of making it is literally right.

Awesome bow technology and craftmanship 😍

Really, really I love it. I want one of your bows. Amazing!!!

Very impressive work. Beautiful result.

제대로 배우신듯. 감사합니다

Bardzo dobry film instruktażowy, obejrzałem go z największą przyjemnością. Pozdrawiam.

제대로 만들었네....물소뿔부터 해서 제대로야.완벽하다.대단하다 정말.좋아요 누르고간다.

대단하시네요.. 한국활답게 잘 만드셨네요

So elegant. Yet combined with a fletched shaft so deadly. Bows were so important in history consider just how many English names are associated with them.

And I also would add to my comment, the Photography was outstanding...Perfect, and on an equal par with the Master Bow Maker, and his Masterpiece Bow.

Wow. How did I miss this vid??? Wonderful craftsmanship!

I wouldn’t wanna be on the receiving end of that bow 50 pound that will go through flesh and bone easily

조선의 각궁을..... 제작에 필요한 기구며, 도구, 방법까지 전통 기법인 듯 합니다. 외국분이신데 어찌 배우셨는지 궁금하군요. 건승을 기원합니다.

Your style of how you make all your bows.. is the best iv seen, you don't need fancy tools.

Amazing craftsmanship. Thank you for sharing.

Жив и здрав , бъди !

Beautiful work!
