shaping first bow
« on: March 29, 2011, 10:39:00 PM »
I'm about 7 hours into my bow now.It is about half way shaped.I didn't realise how much work shaping hardwood with hand tools was.Don't get me wrong I'm having a ball.I just wish I had more time to work on it.As it goes I only have a few hours a week.Now that I'm getting it to start to look like a bow I'm getting excited.I know I shouldn't since there is a good chance it will end up breaking.I'll just take my time and keep my fingers crossed.
P.S.How do I post pics on here.I'm pretty new to computers so would someone please explain it to me.I would like to share my progress as I go.
Thank you.http://s1106.photobucket.com/albums/h376/llamma2/Archery/?action=view¤t=215.jpghttp://s1106.photobucket.com/albums/h376/llamma2/Archery/?action=view¤t=007.jpg
Now then, get your equipment—your quiver and bow—and go out to the open country to hunt some wild game for me.

www.photobucket.com

It's posting pictures after signing up there.

I use only hand tools also...my usual time for a bow is between 15-30 hours usually depending on my pace.  Then finish work is even more lol.

THE TRAD GANG CRITERIA FOR POSTING IMAGES

We do NOT allow posted images wider than 640 pixels! You MUST edit all larger images down to 640 pixels or less in width. There are no exceptions to this rule - if we find a posted image that's WIDER than 640 pixels, we reserve the right to delete it without warning or explanation!

HOW TO POST YOUR IMAGE AT TRAD GANG

The image/picture you wish to add to a post must reside somewhere on the Internet (on a server) - you can't post an image directly from your computer.

If you don't have server space to use, we strongly suggest you register with  www.PhotoBucket.com  - it's a FREE Internet image storing service that will allow the unrestricted remote access of your image (this is important! most online image storage services will not allow remote image access!).

You MUST resize your image to no wider than 600 pixels before uploading to PhotoBucket. For PhotoBucket image tutorials, click the hotlink below ...

 www.tutorials.photobucket.com/

Underneath the PhotoBucket image are three code lines - you want to select the last code line that's labeled "Img". This action will automatically load that image address code to your browser's "clipboard".

Now go to Trad Gang, login if you haven't already, and either create a new topic post or reply to an existing topic post. You can paste that image text anywhere within your post and the image will be seen by all ...

Here's what the image code will look like when you paste it into your post ...


code:
