Author Topic: Starting a Footed Riser.... RayMO Contributor 2011 Member # 680 posted                    This is my first attempt at a footed riser and I am pleased so far with the way this is going. Birds eye maple and black walnut. I want to stay with woods that are not too hard to work with for the first try. Any who...it will no doubt take a long time for me to finish this up..I will post more as it moves along. and here is the result.

My bandsaw is so sloppy,don't know if I could do that,but I may have to try. Do you do any sanding before glue? What type of blade are you usin? -------------------- Stay sharp,Kenny http://tradgang.com/cgi-bin/ultimatebb.cgi?ubb=get_topic;f=162;t=000019 Posts: 7598 | From: Linneus , Mo. | Registered: Jan 2004  |  IP: Logged |  Spookeytooth Member Member # 4723 posted                     That kicks arse. Who showed you how to make that jig? -------------------- "I don't claim to know everything; I just know a lot about nothing" Posts: 76 | From: Rural Palm Beach County, Florida | Registered: Nov 2004  |  IP: Logged |  RayMO Contributor 2011 Member # 680 posted                    Thanks..I don't take credit for the jig I got it from someone here who has done this before. Don't remember who now. I used a 1/4 inch 4 teeth per inch blade. I tried a little finer (5 teeh per inch) one and it did not work as well. I will put some very thin white bow tuff, a little than the saw blade, between the sections. I don't plan on doing much sanding just a litlle, you don't really want it to smooth anyway. I have glued up rasiers before, but not one like this.

Posts: 469 | From: Copperas Cove, Texas | Registered: Mar 2004  |  IP: Logged |  RayMO Contributor 2011 Member # 680 posted                    I was looking at the pattern for the riser that comes with the Bingham TD kit. I realy don't like it very much, a large shelf and a high grip. I guess that may be a good place to start if you did not know what you want because it leaves a lot of wood on the riser, but it is no where near what I like. I was wondering if anyone had a pattern for a riser they would be willing to share? What do you like in a riser? I like a radius shelf no more than 2.5 inches, a wide throat directly under the shelf, an a grip the swells into my hand.

I am new to bow-building and woodworking in general and have thus far only put together some relatively boring risers. I think your jig and others similar could help me change that. I sat down last night to see if I could figure out how to make one and I think I have it figured, but I have a question. How far from the 'pivot point' do you cut the curve? I think I could figure out a good spot with some trial and error, but thought I would see if you would enlighten me before I needlessly sacrifice some miscellaneous MDF scraps. THANKS for sharing your very neat idea. Ted Posts: 759 | From: Pittsburgh, PA | Registered: Nov 2004  |  IP: Logged |  RayMO Contributor 2011 Member # 680 posted                    Ted, I had the same question when I was making the jig. I will measure the radius for you tonight. I think the radius I used should be a little larger. Ray Posts: 1898 | From: St. Louis, Mo | Registered: Apr 2003  |  IP: Logged |  Ted Trad Bowhunter Member # 4837 posted                     Thanks Ray - I appreciate the help. Ted Posts: 759 | From: Pittsburgh, PA | Registered: Nov 2004  |  IP: Logged |  Holm-Made SPONSOR Member # 1997 posted                        Cool. Where did you get that red clamp? I've never seen one like it. Slick.

I had problems finding the clamp also. I got it at a local wood working store. You can get them on ebay. They are called toggle clamps and come in all kinds of shapes and sizes. Not too expenses about 5 to 8 dollars and they work great. Again this is not my design got it from someone else. Ray Posts: 1898 | From: St. Louis, Mo | Registered: Apr 2003  |  IP: Logged |  Dave Worden Trad Bowhunter Member # 2827 posted                     The clamps are made by DeStaCo ( Detroit something Company, I can't remember the middle). They are available from Rockler Hardware. http://www.rockler.com/ecom7/product_details.cfm?&offerings_id=10397&SearchHandle=DADBDADBDADADDDGDEDCDCGEGFDFDGDFCNDHDJDHDHCNDEDIGDDJCNDIGGDCDGCNDCGEDEGFGEDBDJDHGCDAGDDDDADADADBDA DADADADGGDGMGBGNHAHDDADADADEDADADADADADADADBDFDADADADBDADADADADADADADADADADADADBDADADADADGGDGMGBGNHAHDDADADADBDB&filter=clamps -------------------- "If I was afraid of a challenge, I'd put sights on my bow!"

You have a good looking start on the riser. I made a jig just like that one but havnt had the best of luck with it. I usally cut close to the line and use a robo sander and jig. I am trying to convert my jigs over to be used on a router table with a large pattern bit. -------------------- My daddy allways said there was more ways to kill a cat than choking it with butter.

I can't cut a thing free hand worth a darn and I don't know when to stop with the drum sander. I am just a hack at this, but I enjoy it. Waiting for some riser accents to get here so I can glue the riser up. Posts: 1898 | From: St. Louis, Mo | Registered: Apr 2003  |  IP: Logged |
