just had to ask!
so... how about 2 pieces of wood glued together for the core and we dress it with double carbon outer? remarks: -hipnotic taught us the bond from the glue is stronger than the wood fibers themselves so no worries about the 2 pieces core. -at 56 sec, the pressure goes downwards to get the 2 pieces of wood bond horizontally, it's counterintuitive but I assume he knows what he is doing. -the hand vacuum pump at 6m42s is way cool! -205g rubbers included, that thing is a cannon but the Yinhe Apollo and RITC 729 he glued om it should tame it. -it doesn't matter there are not wood outer plies, we just wanted to see how to glue the carbon plies on wood. I suppose that kind of epoxy would do. -he uses ebony for the handle caps so it could be much lighter and as is the balance should be low. -he does not take himself seriously and just enjoys building a blade : Edited by stiltt - 06/05/2022 at 9:08am |

Butterfly's process is obviously very complete and refined over the years. But I must say that the first video is just awful, they basically eyeball everything. Probably "good enough" for a production blade, although I think those handles will feel very different from each other, but the custom building process is much more exhausting.
