That's the longest tension rod I ever did see:)

I fuggered Flem for a 3 wheel bicycle at his ripe ole age:)

My tensioner also seized awhile back. Jet wanted to sell me the whole new thing slider and all. Got some grade 8 all thread and grade 8 square nut. then tapped out a piece of phenolic for a turning knob. $10 V. $40.

I heard that! No way was I going to spend $50 for a rod, nut and hand wheel.

Well, this guy with his one singular tool is obviously a self bow guy.  Roy is a tri lam guy and uses an ax and a skilsaw and draws his electrical supply directly from nature.

Manufacture my own natural gas too:)

Fitting horns, takes time, has to be a perfect fit.

This is great stuff Bue, ELB is my favorite bow of all time. Especially the war bows... not that I can pull one.

I finally got the finish stage of the Canary wood bow. Not horrible if I do say so myself.
