Slow going, but got handle and tip overlays in place

Roy from Pa · « **Reply #44 on:** December 26, 2019, 10:00:44 AM »

Looks nice, Bue.

Looking good bue
What kind of machine is that the bow is laying on?

Buemaker · « **Reply #46 on:** December 26, 2019, 11:08:16 AM »

Belgian made Robland, combination jointer, planer, router, circular saw and mortiser

Roy from Pa · « **Reply #47 on:** December 26, 2019, 12:14:29 PM »

What's it weigh, Bue?

Bout 700 pounds?

I’ll bet it weighs at least half a ton. That’s a 12” jointer if I’m not mistaken. I have an old combo machine, 10” jointer, saw and mortiser and I can barely move it. And that’s with the saw table removed.

About 1100 pounds, all solid cast iron tables. When I had the house built I made them reinforce the floor where it is located. It has three 3 horsepower motors. A good sturdy machine that has served me well.

Awesome Machine
They don't make them that good anymore.

Buemaker · « **Reply #51 on:** January 12, 2020, 02:46:42 PM »

Better finish this one.

Buemaker · « **Reply #52 on:** January 12, 2020, 02:50:41 PM »

Starting to look okay, a bit more adjusting to be done. Right limb is bending a bit more than left,or?
Drawn to 26, three more to go.

How'd the bow turnout, specs and pics.

Buemaker · « **Reply #54 on:** February 25, 2020, 04:35:34 PM »

Got lost in some wood piles, have to dig it out again.

Flem · « **Reply #55 on:** February 25, 2020, 07:01:07 PM »

Bue, that thing looks to have a massive handle. Is that typical on a Tri-lam?

Buemaker · « **Reply #56 on:** February 26, 2020, 10:36:26 AM »

Flem, the glued on handle is 12 1/2 long. Total thickness including lams is about 1 1/4 and width an inch or slightly less. Fades will be thinned out some. Don’t know what others use, perhaps Roy will chime in.

Buemaker · « **Reply #57 on:** March 06, 2020, 05:55:22 PM »

Finished at last.

Buemaker · « **Reply #58 on:** March 06, 2020, 06:02:50 PM »

64 ntn 40 pounds at 29 inches. No full draw picture since nobody to take a pic tonite.
I am bringing a few bows to the Norwegian longbow championship tomorrow, so it may not come home again.
