Isnt that the same name as the CHICK you hang out with? dude, you got it bad. I am telling your Parents.

Cal, you can't tell his parents, that would be sack-religious.

Madpigslayer · February 04, 2005, 09:52:00 PM

I AM gonna tell his parents. I'm gonna tell him that he really makes a nice bow. :D

and that is ALL I'm gonna tell 'em, as long as I CONTINUE to beat him shooting. Ka-peesh??? "[tunglaff]"

NEW GUY · February 04, 2005, 09:55:00 PM

Continue to beat him shootin? hahaha

Dano · February 04, 2005, 09:57:00 PM

Ka-peesh??? Calvin is the GODFATHER

c-biskit · February 04, 2005, 10:22:00 PM

just for you information cal, if you tell my parents i will never LET you beat me at shooting again!!!!

who do you think would win...
The Godfather or Al Pacino (scarface).
"Say hello to my little friend"
- my new ripper-

Godfather = Calvin
Al Pacino = c-biskit

Dano · February 04, 2005, 10:29:00 PM

Sorry CDaug gotta go with the Godfather, scarface was just a tad off if you know what I mean.

...a time will come when I will ask of you a favour....

Hackbow · February 04, 2005, 11:08:00 PM

Cal...Dano's correct. My nephew is getting married on the only weekend of the year that matters. When we were told the date, I can't even begin to tell you what it felt like. Let's just say that if the wedding were called off, you'd hear whoopin' & hollerin' from my vicinity. I'm sure the youthful bow-builders could have had a tremendous time and maybe even managed to stay out of trouble.

c-biskit...you're doing a great job and keep having fun. I know your teacher's a fun guy to be around! Hackboy/leglifter/John was carefully scraping around some knots on a pretty little piece of 'sage tonight.

Madpigslayer · February 06, 2005, 01:32:00 PM

Hackbow, this is where I was gonna try and be funny about divorce rates, etc...but thought better of it.

sure hope you guys can come, I have a feeling that is will be the best Mojam YET!!!

C-Dawg is currently in the basement stalking his tiller. Boy has patience in all the right places. Bow has ridden the tiller tree a half dozen times at this point...pulling 50#@ about 7 inches of long string travel. He wants to make his own string too...that should happen in about an hour I reckon. I just happened to have an unfletched self nocked rivercane arrow in the bin that he had helped me build a year or two ago, that will get the chore of shooting in the bow.

we are both getting excited about the possibility of him getting this thing tillered today.

...even though the sinew is only 7 days old...there is no problem with it. it is as dry as any sinew I have ever seen!!!! I cant find my moisture meter since the move yet, so dont really know what the humidity is...I do know is bloody nose kind of dry.

more to come.

C-Daug, she' lookin good, can't wait to see your progress. Cal, good job brother!!

Littlefeather · February 06, 2005, 03:59:00 PM

7 day old sinew?

Id be scared to tiller for at least a few more weeks. I just finished sinewing a bow a few minutes ago. The glue on my hands probably wont even cure for another few weeks.

Looking good on the bow! Tiller away. CK

Madpigslayer · February 06, 2005, 04:50:00 PM

CK, ya gotta trust me brother. It is DRY here. after my first few failures I quit listening to people in the souhtern states about moisture control. I had to! haha. The one I made last year I left for 11 days before I tillered, and I am absolutly sure I would have been fine at a week.

Home boy is well into tillering now, just learned how to make a string, we got that one on there.

we're at the short string!

NEW GUY · February 06, 2005, 05:08:00 PM

pics we need more pics!

Madpigslayer · February 06, 2005, 06:14:00 PM

moving along...the pictures showed a thick spot of sinew rearing it's head up...flat spot. we touched the sinew and commenced to edge in the tips. After the bows I have been seeing posted on these parts lately, I dont think I want to post pics anymore. LOL.

BTW, we have 8 inches to go, so we might be able to swing it.

frankb · February 06, 2005, 06:27:00 PM

The game starts in 5 minutes.... you have lots of time

frank

Dano · February 06, 2005, 06:36:00 PM

Cal, how ya going to know what we realy think if you don't show us pictures :rolleyes: :D

Madpigslayer · February 06, 2005, 07:13:00 PM

Madpigslayer · February 06, 2005, 07:14:00 PM

these two pictures are reversed, they both appear to have the same problems. I dont get it. we are at 55#@21 1/2 inches...we got brain cramps.

Little help here????
