Title: More splicing
Post by: kennym on October 01, 2022, 11:10:22 AM: Couple riser blocks and a blank to cut veneers from for a customer , started last week but had 3 days of helping a bud and former boss this week running his excavator . His operator had heart probs early in the week so I stood in to load dirt.

Hopefully he'll offset the I beam so it doesn't foul up the riser footing running through the shelf cut out/ sight window.

Howdy! I haven't made a bow in maybe five years, but I've made lots of knives as well as pecan pie and other things. Looking at what other people are doing on this form sure does awaken that bow-making urge, though. I miss it.

Hmm. I don't remember doing a lam splicing video. I do remember trying to do a Z splice on a build along, though, but that was all written. That was a long time ago, though, so my memory isn't perfect.

Post by: Buggs on October 04, 2022, 06:18:14 PM: I don't think it was a video. Must have been a write up build along. It was the first time I had seen anyone do spliced laminations.

Anyways, good to see you here!
