Got the limbs ground out,now to the nocks,I mark with a combo square at  45*.
Make sure you angle em the right way!

 

The mark I made at 30" each way from center,I squared across the limb,this is your nock marks. I then 45 across limb from that mark. Then connect the 2 45* marks across the belly to doublecheck nock marks. If they are crooked,you can easily see it there.

 

I should make a jig like Marty uses,but just never seem to get it done!!

I file the nocks with the file inside the 45* line,leaving just the line. Make sure to file on the proper side of the line!!

May get some more done tomorrow,got some other projects goin too!

Kenny keep the pictures and build alongs comming.
They are GREAT.
Like to follow and learn.
I will someday have the confidents to try one.

Deathmaster: Kenny has gone to great effort to produce these photo instructions to accompany his excellent bow components and form template for folks just like you!! !! Go for it!  

Looking good Kenny! Can't wait to see the lams under the tape and some riser shaping. Lots of tips with these build alongs- keep it up.

Looking good.  Great bunch of tips there.  I really like the stop you put on the riser to keep the lams from sliding up.

Good one about the laser being crooked.   :D

Guys,I kinda dropped the ball. Was rushing to get another bow in the oven(research bow),when done,I picked this one up ,my bro was over(this is his bow,he just don't know it yet) so I quizzed him about what overlays would look good on it.

That done,I had the overlays glued on before I thought!  No pix of that. I'll put some pics  in on the other bow at overlay time.  :cool:

Thanks for the build along Kenny, it's coming at the right time for me!

Looking Good thanks for sharing!

Great work as always Kenny.Can't wait to see what's under that tape.

I have the tape off,the bow came in with 5/8" nocks at 58#@28",will be 53# @ 28" when I'm done trimming and sanding!!

Kenny, do you offset the .002 taper at all? I have heard that it helps with tiller.

looks great kenny

Big un,

Nope,the bow can be used with either limb to top,I just pick the tiller before cutting site window.


I kinda rushed this one,turkey season is coming and I thought bro needed it to shoot for a bit before season starts!!

I'll take up on the build as I do the sister bow,which is coming along now...












Now back to your regularly scheduled program......  :D

Oh yeah, 60" ntn,54# @28 or 51@bro's 27"

(Redesigned for his 27" draw to get a bit more horsepower!)

Man that bow is beautiful. I bet it shoots just as she looks to.

Looks really good man, nice work! I hope mine turns out that well.

Wow- nice work Kenny!!

looks great and just in time for a turkey hunt.
