Wife and Kids are away over the Weekend.
Took the chance to laminate two carbon layups and let them cure in the cozy bathroom.

Have you tried vacuum to create these? I'm guessing these are for back and face?

B-JS · December 05, 2022, 02:45:17 PM

Jupp, back and face.

Vakuuminfusion may be the way to go, If i would have to make several plates with identical Specs and Resin content.

For testing, handlamination does the Job, If you Press evenly and don't use a ton of Resin.

I have a nice big Glass Plate.
But for Vacuum, i need so much more Equipment, and space.
Those are just for testing of the layup.

Still hoping for a reasonable manufakturer.
I don't want to do this for every bow, i need to build.

Another bow heads out to a buddy of mine in Eastern Oregon.

Very Nice Kirk !

Haven't been posting much lately, but don't worry. I've still been creeping around keeping tabs on ya old timers. Works been keeping me busy. It's hunting season, so any free time goes to using bows not making them.

EHD hit our local deer herd pretty hard this year, especially mature bucks.
I decided the first two year old or better was gonna do this year. This guy made the mistake of coming into range this evening. 12yd chip shot and watched him go down.

Thats a nice buck! How old do you guess he was? Has a well developed rack.

Kirkll · December 16, 2022, 07:36:40 PM

Great looking buck Bvas!

I didn't get a lot of shop time logged early in the day. I spent most of the day tearing into the wiring in my house and storage sheds... Something kept popping the breaker.... I ended up disconnecting, and dissecting 3 different power outlets and two outdoor light fixtures before i found the culprit..... But i got er done!

I'll be working swing shift tonight.... Christmas is almost upon us and i have two more projects to complete before then.... My wife laughs about how many gifts i built over the years where the finish was drying on Christmas eve.

I have always worked from the premise that if you wait till the last minute to do something, then it only takes a minute

I would guess he is a three year old.
