Dan, That is a pretty great job you did on that bow and the build-a-long. Lots of good pictures and tips and tricks. Nice job.
I have to ask, what are the long "lathe" looking things along your basement wall?  I am always curious.

I have looked at this a lot, and for the life of me there is one thing that I can not understand.  One the band saw, you have a piece of wood with what looks like a 6" diameter piece of pvc on it, and I see where you are sawing laminates with it.  How do you keep it running in a straight line?  Or am I missing something?

The PVC radius allows him to cut lams or veneers off of a board that is nor perfectly parallel with the fence.  Kreg makes a similar fence, but Dans does the same thing for a lot less $$.

Great job Dan...and awesome bow!

Great job,impressive setup.
Question on the bandsaw table radius cut setup..
do you only swing the jig or does the whole table need to swing??

BO-R...the toggle clamps are screwed to a block of mdf and that is screwed to the plywood, all of that swings on a pivot that is not shown in the picture.
