Do you have music on your video?
There has been some tightening of loopholes on youtube, particularly music video. Don't know why England has been singled out for this copyright stuff.  Or have we? do other countries suffer this? Some youtube download tools and sites no longer work either.

If all else fails, if you can get the video to myself I can post it on Youtube under my U.K. account for you

BTW - Nice looking bows - the bamboo looks great :-)

I like the looks of that pyramid handle and think I might try my hand at it.  How long and thick is it?

John?

[youngbowyer]

Nick, you are a true craftsman!!!!!!!

[ratty]

its working now  well done

[nickf]

thanks Triton! that was probably the problem here. And Alan, thanks for the kind offer! but I'm glad it's working now.
mole, the limbs of the flatty are about 1/2" thick. including the boo backing.
thanks Ratty, and Tom!

Hi.....great bows...i wanted to ask u how thick is the bamboo backing ?... thks..

[DarkSoul]

Pretty thick. Actually a bit too thick for my likings, but it appears to work. It's at least 1/8" but probably closer to 3/16"
(In case you are wondering: I'm the guy shooting in the vid as well )
