Bvas · February 25, 2018, 12:37:00 PM

Trying to lose weight.
Bow came in about 8# heavy.
Trapped just the back glass and lost about 2#.
Going to go a little further and do glass plus one lam deep.

Hain't no wonder ya shot em, they are all blind...

LOL..

Very nice bud.

Well, I made good progress on the bow for the swap. I also built .001" and .002" taper sleds. Also a flat sled for parallel lams.

I freaking love this drum sander. Honestly don't know how I got along without it. I've built more than 50 bows with my homemade jig, but the 16-32 I bought is a huge improvement.

The next upgrade I'm going to make is a good dust collector. My humongoloid shop vac can't even begin to keep up with this thing. After that. I'm thinking a 6 X 89 edge sander... Hmmm.

I got the Delta shop master dust collector about 10 years ago use it on my 22-44 it works good and has been flaw less, I took the wheels off and mounted it on the wall ! I put a long hose on it so I can reach every thing I have a small tight shop !

I have one of those. Works like a champ.

Made a Yew bow(almost) At 70 pounds at 28 inches on the tiller tree a slight explosion happened. Well, that Yew is a tricky one.

Roy from Pa · February 26, 2018, 06:21:00 PM

Nice, Bue.. I been there done that.

mwosborn · February 26, 2018, 06:29:00 PM

A slight explosion? Looks like a big one to me! Sorry to see that happen.

Zradix · February 26, 2018, 09:05:00 PM

Dang Bue!
Sorry it happened Bud.

kennym · February 26, 2018, 09:55:00 PM

Man, I bet that was spectacular !

I didn't do anything that exciting!

February 26, 2018, 11:56:00 PM

Yeah... Sorry to see that but I bet that had to be somewhat exciting in a twisted sorta way... Hope you didn't get splinterized...

I'd probably be pissed and laughing at the same time...

scrub-buster · February 27, 2018, 09:21:00 PM

Nice looking skull mounts Kenny. I like the palmation on the center rack.

Sorry about the bow Bue. That's a bummer.

Today I cut a trail to a big double trunk osage tree that I want to cut. I didn't bring my big saw so I looked for something smaller to cut. I found this fallen tree close by.

I got 2 full length sections and one smaller piece. I should have known something was up when it was this difficult to get a split started.

Every now and then a tree will fool me. I didn't expect this from looking at the bark. I'll blame it on the moss.

Buemaker · February 28, 2018, 03:29:00 AM

Looks like there will be some snakey bows in that one, must be interesting to find such a log.
