How to tie A Arrowhead
How to Attach ( Haft ) an Arrowhead to a Shaft
Sharing buttons:
I guess John Cullen scents outdoors just
did the video video mapping and
Arrowhead out of a glass-bottom glass
bottle bottom I did put about 10 minutes
more worth of work into it turned out a
little better still not perfect but what
I want to do right now is show you how
to have this to air shaft or if it was
bigger actually made it a little smaller
if it was bigger onto a branch for a
spear type set up the hafting would be
the same either way so let me get behind
the camera and show you what I got
thinking you might be able to see
against this dirt okay so what I've done
and this is an a narrow shaft it's just
a branch I took off a tougher tree here
so you know not not a great would be
doing it out of any way but for
demonstration purposes I have carved a
notch out of it that will accept the
arrow point all I used was a little saw
blade on my multi-tool see looks a
little better than it did if you watched
my previous video
okay so I've made the notch to where it
accepts the the point without having to
force it in there and spread the two
sides of wood apart in a survival
scenario if it's a long-term situation
something to that effect hopefully you
come across a large enough critter day
makes a new because that's what would
work best in this a situation I'm going
to show you with Bank line today I'm
going to do is hold the cordage long the
shaft I'm going to wrap not real tight
at first there because if I pull real
tight it's going to pull my point
crooked get around both sides and then I
starting to tighten up oops not that way
it's cute there we go get a couple wraps
there then we can start to put some more
pressure on it and by the way I did take
the rock and abrade around the dovetail
and inside the notches so hopefully the
glass doesn't cut the cordage so we're
going to go around a couple of times try
to do this tour you can see what I'm
doing
I'm going to go around a couple of times
we're going to come down underneath the
dovetail the bottom around once go back
up around once and one and a half go
down around the bottom give it a turn
around the bottom back up to the top
actually going to get the cordage to go
in front of my shaft once on each side
trapping it as tight as I can then back
to the bottom wrap it as tight as I can
then I'm going to finish
oops sorry I'm going to finish with a
half hitch and to do that with one hand
just twist your cordage until it makes
that loop and then slip that loop over
slide it down to where you want it and
pull it tight work it back and forth
make sure you got nice and tight
and again make a loop slide it across
and down pull it tight now survival
situation I'd probably probably throw in
one more of those get too short to do
that so we just go around it survival
situation I'm ready to cut that off and
by the way I forgot to mention I would
have heat hardened the shaft before I
did this I would have made sure you
don't want to harden it before you're
cutting your notch out but once you're
not just cut out he hardened that tip
before you do this half ting then you
have to then the way to go would be to
make a playing pitch blue or hide blue
whichever you can come up with and I
would just coat all this cordage but I
just have to that point on with with it
with a glue and then I would heat harden
it again
harden that glue onto it but even
without the glue with only half hitches
in there at the end of our wrap that
point is in there solid I wouldn't
hesitate to use something like that
alright guys like I said this isn't a
narrow shaft it was just for
demonstration
it's very crooked the point the point
turned right out all right I think you
know it would be usable it's sharp
I cut myself a couple times finishing it
up a little harder to do the glass
bottle bottom than it is say a flint
herb sitting under a rock little little
flake off much flatter with less and
cavity and convexity but it's possible
it's not not that hard it's just time
consuming so hope you like it that's how
to haft it onto the shaft like comment
