The Bingham's videos are good.  Watch them a few times, then order your stuff from Kenny.

As far as thickness of laminations...that really depends on the design of your bow.  Take notes on each one you build and after a couple you'll be able to dial right in on the thickness.

I received some stuff from Bingham in the mail Saturday....the 62" Hybrid longbow plans,  instruction book AND dvd.  Have not watch the dvd yet,  but skimmed through the book.   Some of the directions seem a tad vague in regards to building the form and hot box.  Ill look it over a dozen times....and watch the dvd,  before take off.  This will be a winter project for me most likely,  but I am going to try and get some things ready.   Cant wait to get this going!  So the end of my hunting season wont be so depressing  :goldtooth:    And I plan to get with Kenny for sure to get materials and pick his brain....hope he doesnt mind!

Sounds like you have a good start.  Take your time and don't forget to post some pics.   :)

+1 on Kenny.  I ordered the hardware from Binghams, which was good (hose w/plugs, locking kit, thermostat).  I have since ordered all my glass from Kenny, who is great.  Fast, Cheap, and most importantly, always willing to answer questions.  I can't stress how much I appreciate that.  

The bingham video is OK, but a little dated.  Don't stress too much about the oven.  It's just a box with light bulbs.  The form, however is very important, especially making sure that it is square and smooth.  

I am primarily a wood worker, and have the tools to grind/thickness my own lams from my own wood stash.  There is definitely a learning curve, but I like that sort of thing.

Good Luck!
