Bow layout tape

ProArcher · August 13, 2009, 07:00:00 AM

I saw a picture on here that showed a clear layout rule and was Just wondering was this something the person made him self or is it on the market (if so where can you get one) I would realy like to know. It looked cool.

Mickey Lotz "The Ferret" made those up, I think "Lost Arra" on this site has it on his computer or in some way can get you one.

I made one like the Ferret showed in the past. I used a piece of Mylar that we use at work to run plans off on. It's kind of opaque, not clear. But you can still see through it when you lay it on the back of a bow. I just marked it with a ruler and used a sharpie with an extra fine tip to lay it out. Works great.

That link is not working for me. I get a "Link not found" message.

Scrub - You should get a .pdf file. Try again. It just worked for me. Maybe the site was getting a lot of hits right then.

.....and as the one who converted Mickey's great ruler into the computer drawn version in the PDF that Tom gave the link to.....
....I'll be looking for my standard royalty for each one that you print on 3M acetate sheets on your printer: 1-perfectly-straight-knot-free-osage-stave-postpaid-to-my-door. Floor-tillered.

Hey, I need to know something: Does anyone still have the pics from Mickey's great tutorial?
Osage bow building 101...a pictorial
Doesn't do a lot of good to have a pictorial without the pictors.
Got a good friend who is just getting into bow building and could use that pictorial. I used to have all Ferret's stuff saved, but wing feather mites ate my hard-drive. Sure miss seeing Mickey on here.

If anyone has 'em, let me know. I'll send you a nice stave for 'em. If I don't forget it.

I miss that little Big guy :(

Never mind; I found most all of Ferret's stuff on another backup.

BTW, if any newcomers (looks like there's a bunch!) use this template, be sure to check printer settings and make sure that you don't 'Fit to Page' or any other scaling in the Print Setup. If you do, then '1 inch' won't be...one inch!
