Hi Everyone,

 I have been looking for a while, but there is an ocean of stuff on PVC, shooting, and manufacturers publicity stuff to wade through and I can find very few good quality "how-to" videos. Bearing in mind the warnings about direct links, what on-line videos would you recommend to someone (me   :D) starting out on their first horn-bow?

DC:
There is a "Korean Bow Maker" one on youtube that I've watched a couple of times.

All you need to do is get Adam Karpowzi book :)
The Korean videos are the best there is. Thomas Devernay (spelling?) made a video of a Korean bowyer making a bow from start to finish. The sound isn't great but the information is all there.

A bit unrelated, but.. I've seen talk of a "Korean bench", that is nice and useful, what is it?

man, I need a good adze

Thanks guys, those videos answered so many questions, although I am un-nerved by the number of times they point out that only the most experienced bowyers are able to do this.....

I guess the Korean bench is the little wooden vice-thing they are sitting behind? I think you could get a blacksmith to re-purpose an old hammer-head into an adze like the one in the video
