And we have a winner!! [attachment=1,msg2923649][attachment=2,msg2923649]

The top is milled perfectly flat so every thing is on alignment when drilled. I still need to mount the clamps that will hold each part in place as well as a permanent stand. Wanted to do a couple test runs first. The right block for drilling risers is adjustable for different length risers.  So far everything is working out great!
Ps, I got the idea from one of South Cox's bow building videos.

very nice looking bit of kit there!.Bit envious!.

I like it because you can put it together after drilled and have all the sides that were down when drilling bolted together that way then any uneveness is all on one side. For me I just use one block and drill thru both sides to keep the same side down. And that eliminates the need for multiple riser angles etc.

That's the same thing I've been doing. I decided to go this route because it is a huge time saver when doing multiple bows at the same time. Trying to make each step as proficient as possible to speed up the build times. It should pay off in the long run.  :pray:

Max, it's actually a big piece of steel channel that's been machined flat and polished. I'm sure it will dull over time. I may wax it to see if it will stay shinny longer.  :goldtooth:
I'm really not sure how many I did last year , id have to check my books.
I'm on par to do around 70 or so this year.

Sure is purdy!  Hey, Crittergetter, I need you to come to my place and pour a slab for me ... in-between bows of course. I'll let you rummage through the wood rooms and storage trailers. You might find something you'll like :)

Suppose we could even do a trade.. I can't find anyone here to call me back. This kungflu crap sure has made everyone busy!
