Bowyer's ruler

Roy from Pa · February 03, 2011, 10:13:00 PM

OH good god. You boys are cheating now:) I buy clear plastic rulers at a local store. I like the idea of the clear plastic ruler for being able to see through it. They are about 3 bucks. Ya don't need that high tech tool if ya know what your doing:)

Roy, that is why I need all that high tech tool stuff, cause I not real sure I know what I am doing, even when I know what I am doing.

Phil, I know exactly what you mean:) I think:)

First time I've seen one!

Mickey used to pass them out at MOJam. I have a couple that I use to lay out every bow I make.

Thanks Clint

No problem. I think I have replied to everyone. If I missed anybody, let me know.

I just sent you a PM, s-b.

I had a couple of them delivered by the man himself. Wish he still hung out here!

CaptainJ · February 05, 2011, 08:30:00 PM

I just grabbed the picture and will make my own.
Thanks for the post. That thing looks pretty cool!

You might have to play around with the size to make it accurate.

I sure wish Mickey was around here too. I was lucky enough to print off his osage how to several years ago before the pictures were lost. I followed that thing step by step while building my first bow. I enjoy reading his article in PA magazine.

What ever happened to Mickey?

I sent it to you again. You might check your junk folder. Maybe it ended up there. If you don't get it, let me know.

i think john scifres sent me one of these in with a generous donation of supplies , i used it a little , and the numbers wore off , so i got online , got another image of it , and had a vinyl sign maker print me one with ink that wouldnt come off.

i think he charged me 2$...

I still email Mickey once in a while. He's hanging in there. Just doesn't do the online thing much anymore.

I laid out to scale, as close as I could get, the ruler. It took me about 1 1/2 hours to draw it up and check the scale. Close as I could get. First thing in the morning I am going to a graphic shop and see what they can do. I talked to one Friday and they told me they should be able to transfer to a clear sheet and make it as close to permanent as possible. I will let you know how it goes and hopefully we can get some printed up. Here are a couple shots of what I got so far.

Hope it works.
