Table set up
« on: November 18, 2016, 02:59:00 PM »
Okay, I have not built any bows in many, many moons.  But, my daughters and grandkids are asking for some.  I decided to go with a few blanks from bowyer's to keep cost and equipment down, as I will be doing the vast amount with hand rasp and files.  I still build whole slew of arrows.  I am looking for idea's on a good bow building table, I know that a quality vise is mandatory and still have mine.  But, looking for idea's of what everyone else has, as I am going to have to build a new table anyway.  Idea's, suggestion's and pictures are always welcome.

Ideally you want the vise so you can get all around it while working. Just the vise mounted on a post would be the easiest.I have my vise mounted to the corner of my work bench but it is awkward getting to the off side to work.
Make the most of all that comes and the least of all that goes!

Speaking of vises I need a new one. One project I have been putting off for a couple years is a simple Bowyers Bench.
