The son of a family friend made this video as a college literature project. The course was on the Lord of the Rings series of books. Keep in mind this is not a video just about making a bow but is also a literature project. He got an A BTW.

I thought the same thing Rick. I didnt want to bust on the kids
project though. He and his brother are building a 2 story log cabin on the site where that was filmed . They are cutting all the trees by hand on site as well as crafting the logs themselves.

Cool man, that's a neat project. That's also pretty neat that they had a class just on Tolkein. :thumbup:

Wow! That's a lot of work!

I couldn't help but wonder how much easier it would have been if his hawk was a bit sharper though.

great video. Splitting green wood is not the funnest thing in the world, even if it was poplar.

off topic:

Do you guys know how hard it is to get good music for a youtube video and not get in trouble if you want to use it for the woodsmonkey site??? Waugh!!!!
If'in any of ya'll are in bands and have music that one could use, PM me!
