Love all the build alongs, but tools????
« on: February 27, 2007, 01:46:00 PM »
Hey there, I love all the build alongs and guys showin' what they make etc. I'm not what I would call a very handy type of person, and my tool selection is limited to the extreme. Seeing some of the prodjects on here makes me want to buy a shed and fill it with tools so I can make stuff. Then I occasinally read that some of these things are done with very simple tools. I like when the types of tools used are described more often. I see some of these shop pics and think.... well, forget that one. Just want to let every one who makes stuff know that I love seeing these things, even if I can't do it myself.
I will give thanks to the LORD because of his righteousness and will sing praise to the name of the LORD Most High.

Jerry,

   Many of these projects do require simple tools (although some of us are tool junkies).  My first three bows were made with a draw knife, wood file, and sand paper, and I used a tru-oil finish.  Very simple. =)  Where are you at in PA?

oh, I forgot to add, I made my wifes bow with an Ulu.... and I don't even have a garage!  I built the whole thing in a hallway that we didn't use that much in our apartment.
