@Pystro2 жыл бұрын
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.

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.

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.

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.

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!

Thanks to this "hint" from Jörg I am only using Dyneema based strings now with excellent experiences. For the higher lbs bows the middle of the string should be enforced in any case. This can be done by feeding a small part of rope into the middle of the string with the same technique. By the way I am using only this holo needle for all process steps. If it comes to "waxing" I am using a self made hard paraffin based wax mixed with Molybdän powder. Some of you might know the brand name "Liqui Moly" standing for high performance combustion enginge oils. Thisbrand name stand for "liquide" Molybdän or to be precise "luquide" Molybdän(IV)-sulfid (MoS2). Basicaly I am using this for "dry" lubricating my bicycle chains. It's melted in a "rice slow cooker" at aroud 80°C and chains or strings are immersed into the media.

With dynema you finish off by tapering the tail before hiding it. The sharp change weakens the line. Funny thing I just bought a crossbow today and thought about doing same as you. As a sailor I've used that stuf and love it. enough that I'm doing standing rigging with dynema.

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 😎

Sometimes an industry focuses so much on the overall product and forgets that sometimes something little can make a big difference. Besides, no one get's excited about strings. But, they should be. When you can take anything, whether it's for a crossbow or something else, that lasts only for a few times and make it last way longer than it ever has, then that should be exciting. Plus, as cheap as it is, it would be nothing to make several back ups. That way when it is time to replace the string, you've already got one ready to go and you don't feel bad about replacing it because it is cheap.

You lose more than a millimetre on the bow compared to the nails because the circumference of the arch ends is much bigger. I use dowels , just as easy . For proper strength, feather that tail so theres no weak point, not important on an adder but on stronger arches it might be. Bit of trivia, people say they do something to the bitter end. That trailing rope that is buried is called the bitter end, like many things we say, it came from the navy in old days, like between the devil and the deep blue sea ...but the devil is a whole other story from ships not satan :)

Links "Not allowed", so for Brits, it's Timco. I used to fly paragliders, their risers are made from a different format Dyneema, seem to be a Kevlar inner, with a Dyneema outer sheath. Finding 3mm is difficult, so am currently using the Timco woven. So far so good... 😎

Real 550 cord is probably good enough for a normal bow, and a hell of a lot cheaper than dyneema. 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.

@@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!

Unfortunately I experienced that Dyneema, though hard to cut, tends to fray after a couple of shots. It happened to me a couple of times that, on a frayed string, the crescent cams at the rear end of the arrow are losing grip, and when the shot is fired, the active arrow gets diverted, slams into the magazine and pushes the ones above out vertically... I now check my strings even more carefully before shooting. But all in all, this is a great video, and making your own strings really is a lot of fun - and saves so much money.

dyneema Fasern sind mir als Angler schon lange bekannt, allerdings nur als geflochtene Angelschnur, und diese haben schon eine extrem hohe Tragkraft, Abriebfestigkeit und "verrottungsresistenz"(naja das zeug nimmt nahezu kein Wasser auf), 0,16mm Durchmesser tragen 30kg ohne Probleme.
