Happy New Year

Hoping 2021 gets a lot better than 2020 was.

It's off to a good start!  .3"  ice and 8-12"  snow forecast for today! Dogs got me up at 5 and then wouldn't go outside...

Good thing it's you and not me

Happy new Year

LOL, good dogs.

Annie, our 90 pound lab, had me hanging on the edge of the bed when I woke up, so I got up instead of hitting the floor.

29 degrees here, 1 inch of snow, fire in wood burner has house at 71 degrees.

Haven't burned but maybe 15 gallon of oil so far this winter.

Happy New Years guy...

Freezing rain then six inches of snow forecast for us today. Looks like a nice day to putter around in the shop. I started building a lyre for my niece yesterday. I never made a musical instrument before.
Happy New Year! May it be a good one for everyone. 
Dave.

50 deg and rain here. I took a hot shower to wash as much of 2020 off as I could. Hope the rest of it just dries up and flakes off. 
Looking forward to a much better 2021 for my family, myself and most of you guys  ...well OK, Roy too!
  Have a great 2021 guys.

Haha the weather boogers now have us at 3-5" total .

Pat, 

I ain't looking again, they are guessin just like me... 

38 here and thick rain here. Prolly gonna watch the tube today. 

Went from 20's at night to 50's at night.
Mississippi weather 

Happy New Year, guys...

  Hate to rub it in but it's supposed to be in the high 70's the next three days... Maybe go to the beach when my work is done...   

Happy New Year everyone. Weather out west here is warm and drizzly, don't feel like winter yet.
I think we should all rendezvous at Rich's place, bring sunglasses, cause I'm one pale hombre!

Temporary string wrap




I braced it to 4-1/2" No limb twist

Stiff, after mid limb, both sides.
I used Eric's tillering gizmo and was looking under there to see if I had pencil lines under there and--------
Houston, we have a problem
I have a crack on the whole working limb on one side, I remember seing a line on the back, did'nt think it was anything so I filled it with SG and will wrap it at mid limb




Here is the back

I see cracks in bamboo all the time and find when filled with superglue they are never a problem. I never clamp them closed after I fill them, I prefer to have a lot of glue in the crack to fill all the fibrous nooks and crannies.

Hope it works for ya Mark.

Love the tillering string too:)
