Forging an Arrowhead (Type 9 Bodkin) with Will Sherman of Medieval Arrows. Swallow Forge

In the Forge With Will Sherman, A Professional Arrow Maker. Here He demonstrates how to make a Type 9 Bodkin Point Arrow Head out of Wrought Iron. These were typically in use in the 13th and 14th centuries. This one is made to exact measurements so takes a little longer to forge than if he was just making them quickly. Will makes all sorts of historical Arrows and Arrow heads, he also makes Yew Longbows (war bows) to the exacting measurements of Museum pieces and shoots bows of 150lb+ (don't challenge him to an arm wrestle) If you would like to purchase Arrows or Arrowheads, or book a course in forging arrowheads, arrow making you can contact Will at www.facebook.com/medievalarrows or www.medievalarrows.co.uk
