Getting some things together for my victim,,,

[kennym]

I did some drilling and threaded inserts today.

[skeaterbait]

I finally got my Cactus Juice and a silicone sheet to make a new seal for the chamber so the Tamarind is finally marinating in the juice.

Sand a flat on the side of the dowel pin

[kennym]

Could do that Mark! I grind a divot on each side to keep pin in riser. Have had a couple pull out with limb  ...

First time I've put tape on the pad before gluing, kinda like it.

[kennym]

Limbs are mounted, no pics , this is a top secret junkyard dawg ...

Kenny, from what you have showed us that's gonna be a good look'n junk yard dawg!

[buddyb]

Kenny, I file a small grove on all 4 corners of the pin and then glue up with Smooth-on MT-13 epoxy.

[Crooked Stic]

For the pin fit I try to get the limb holes not wiggly loose but loose enough they dont hang up. And just enough pin sticking out to locate the limb. Prolly no more than 1/3rd of the pin sticking out.

Ok victim I have a block here. Blue stable maple and charcoal AW. So I need some input on veneers. I have this blue angel AW or sumpin else??

[Buemaker]
