(Video) Forging Tudor Bodkins with Karl Malmstrom

(1/3) > >>

Agincourtwarbow:
Hello everyone, If you feel so inclined please check out this video I just posted from my recent trip down to Michigan where I spent some time with my good mate Karl Malmstrom to learn how he forges Tudor Bodkins (Arrowheads) His workmanship is superb. It was an absolute pleasure to film this and put it together, I hope that it will give a brief overview of how Karl forges these arrowheads with comparisons to manuscripts and carvings. Plus I get to test shoot them at the end!

Awesome video Jake! Very well put together  8).

What a great experience to have, great craftsmanship and wonderful Tudor bodkins, nothing quite like seeing it done first hand and no doubt superb memories to treasure.
Thanks for sharing,

I met you guys at Marshall this year I was the one working on that yew longbow and kept bugging you guys for advice. Very nice video. Was a pleasure to meet all of you

Agincourtwarbow:
Thanks Ruddy, very glad you enjoyed it. It was an absolute pleasure to shoot (in both ways) and a fantastic experience. I am pleased to have had the opportunity to learn and to share Karl's work as he's too much of a modest bugger to do it himself!

Was brilliant meeting you Paul! Thanks for introducing yourself. How did that fine bow turn out? I never got to see you shoot it. It was a pleasure to see it come into shape. No bugging at all done mate.

The Viking:
Thanks Paul, A pleasure to meet you and what ever help I was able to give was my pleasure also. Thanks for watching Jake's video, was fun making it. See you again.   Karl
