That is 1.75 of those little white plastic(no wax!!) cups,about 1/4" from top of the second one.

My wife wonders how we go thru those so fast!   :saywhat:

I use the little plastic pee cups from the prison, they are marked in oz's. They are about the same size.

Great job Brother!  I'm enjoying this one. I have to get me one of those lasers!
I didn't claw my way to the top of the food chain to eat vegetables!

rkmnt2

Nice build Kenny! The laser looks so....futuristic! lol

kennym

Mox, I cut the lams on the bandsaw,then run thru a thickness sander. On the tapers,I run the proper sled(.001"per "..002" per" etc.)  along with the stock so I have a tapered blank to grind.

Marty, the laser rocks,I think if the bow is level across the limbs,you won't get it any straiter. If out of level,I think it will lead you astray tho.

rkmt, that is why I've been expecting to be raided by the trad police!!
Stay sharp, Kenny.

Trad Poleece, hear:  As long as you ain't using that funny little red lite on an all wud bow then wheel jist have to keep lookun the other way.

kennym

I also used the laser to mark the marks for limb layout lines,cause if you don't get your yardstick clamped flat on the limb,it can be not strait!

Kenny, aka multiple offender...  :D
Stay sharp, Kenny.
