Roy and Bue’s trilam project.

[Buemaker]

Looking good. What kind of finish?

[Roy from Pa]

2014 ?

[Mad Max]

Yeah 2014 Roy
It's glossy , It should be Thunderbird

[Buemaker]

Slow going, but got handle and tip overlays in place

[Roy from Pa]

Looks nice, Bue.

[Mad Max]

Looking good bue
What kind of machine is that the bow is laying on?

[Buemaker]

Belgian made Robland, combination jointer, planer, router, circular saw and mortiser

[Roy from Pa]

What's it weigh, Bue?

Bout 700 pounds?

[wood carver 2]

I'll bet it weighs at least half a ton. That's a 12" jointer if I'm not mistaken. I have an old combo machine, 10" jointer, saw and mortiser and I can barely move it. And that's with the saw table removed.
Dave.

[Buemaker]

About 1100 pounds, all solid cast iron tables. When I had the house built I made them reinforce the floor where it is located. It has three 3 horsepower motors. A good sturdy machine that has served me well.

[Mad Max]

Awesome Machine
They don't make them that good anymore.

[Buemaker]

Better finish this one.

[Buemaker]

Starting to look okay, a bit more adjusting to be done. Right limb is bending a bit more than left,or?
Drawn to 26, three more to go.

How'd the bow turnout, specs and pics. 

[Buemaker]

Got lost in some wood piles, have to dig it out again.

[Flem]

Bue, that thing looks to have a massive handle. Is that typical on a Tri-lam?

[Buemaker]

Flem, the glued on handle is 12 1/2 long. Total thickness including lams is about 1 1/4 and width an inch or slightly less. Fades will be thinned out some. Don't know what others use, perhaps Roy will chime in.

[Buemaker]

Finished at last.

[Buemaker]

64 ntn 40 pounds at 29 inches. No full draw picture since nobody to take a pic tonite.
I am bringing a few bows to the Norwegian longbow championship tomorrow, so it may not come home again.

[Crooked Stic]

Looks good.
