Interesting diagrams you have there...  Maybe you can open up a thread and explain in more detail how to work with that graph and how you plot it out,

I would like to model something with known specs and open up the discussion to community proposed tweaks which I could post for all to review, and hopefully compare to a new build.

One possibility I have been considering for a build is a bow Stagmitis posted about in another thread.  It's an intriguing straight limbed design that did well in the WTT...

Shredd, do you still have the longbow mentioned in post 400? A pic would be nice! or a newer design if you are willing to share?

I'm gonna throw a bow together and see how it turns out.  All this engineering is makin my head hurt. 

Perhaps Kennym or someone else has a longbow design they are willing to share if new builds are under consideration?

  Willi..    I am gonna send you a PM..

Back when I made my pattern sander it worked so well I bought a back up Assembly, You cant buy them new anymore, maybe some on Ebay



I was looking around the bow shop and found where  I stashed it

Neat, looks like the top portion of a ridged sander.

Because it is
I bough t he floor model at home  Depot years ago for $100.00

We had an inch of black ice covered with 3" of sleet and 6" of snow, I couldn't get out of the house or up and down my steep driveway, I have been house bound for 6 days.

I got out my number one toy yesterday and dug my way out.  I don't want to chance taking my F250 out on the ice but when it warms up tomorrow I should be good to go. I rode my 4 wheeler to the store only to find it had closed 5 minutes before I got there.

I'm not to far from you Eric, we have the same weather

Glad to see you guys digging out finally. Not often you get that much sleet. BTW, your lucky the rain and sleet was not snow.  1" water = 1' snow.

Nice Eric, looks to be about the same as my Kubota.

Mine is a B-2650

I have an L3200

I feel bad for all the folks who don't get winter weather often. All the 2wd cars with street tires combined with ice makes for mayhem on unplowed/sanded roads! The first winter I was going to school down in AZ, it snowed on Dec.24th. Never seen so many wrecks and abandoned vehicles!

I was going to get an L but mine was the biggest I could get a belly mower on it. I have to have a belly mower because my neck is messed up and I can't look back to see where a finish more is cutting.

Understand that Eric.

My mower is a 5 foot cut on 3 point hitch, its 24 years old. I had it galvanized when new and rebuilt it twice.

It's still working great.

I have a honda 22" cut.

I got a 2007 X-mark Lazer Z 60"
Bought it new

I have a 22" that only my boy knows how to operate 

Got a POS 46"  for the lawn and a 15'  Bushhog for everything else...

I got a machete and a shovel...   

No scythes yet?
