Abstract: We describe a technique which permits a uniform construction of a number of low rank bundles, both known and new. In characteristic two, we obtain rank two bundles on $\mathbf {P}^{5}$. In characteristic $p$, we obtain rank two bundles on $\mathbf {P}^4$ and rank three bundles on $\mathbf {P}^5$. In arbitrary characteristic, we obtain rank three bundles on $\mathbf {P}^4$ and rank two bundles on the quadric $S_5$ in $\mathbf {P}^6$.
