A couple months ago someone posted some videos of a Japanese Master Arrowmaker. I would like the link again. Had to Reboot computer and lost the link.

Thanks

I think this is the one you want. It's the first of three videos.
Try not to drool when you see the sheafs of arrow shafts in front of the shop.

FYI, since the video is titled in Japanese on YouTube it's unlikely that a simple Google search will turn it up.

Oops I drooled [Smile] . How many arrows do you think those old hands would have made. Bet he doesn't need a jig or anything to get that knife shaving shape either. Awe inspiring watching old craftsmen.

I just finished a dozen bamboo arrows. I have great respect for the craftsman that makes these arrows....... Waaaay too much work for a dozen arrows. But they do make some fine shooting arrows.

for you guys who have never seen this video before it may not be obvious that there is a second and a third video in the series. Just to be sure no one misses them...

Wow! Is all I need to say. That ol boy can sure work a piece of bamboo shafting. Thanks for the links, I added them all to my favorites on Youtube and even though I can't understand a word of what they are saying I can learn just by watching. Gonna use some of his techniques for my river cane shafts.

Wow.....that's just plain impressive. Apparently, feather choppers/burners, fletch tape, and all that is over-rated [Smile] .
