You said 1 3/4 cup.. is that an actual measuring cup or one of the little cups seen in the pic?

That is 1.75 of those little white plastic(no wax!!) cups,about 1/4" from top of the second one.

My wife wonders how we go thru those so fast!

Sanded and sealed riser with CA tonite ,really brings the coco to life!!!

I use the little plastic pee cups from the prison, they are marked in oz's. They are about the same size.

kennym · « **Reply #43 on:** April 20, 2009, 10:51:00 PM »

New ones ,right? LOL

That is 1.75 cups of each component. Might get by with less,but I figure you can't put more in later if it needs it!

Yeah definetly! When I get a little further on my buddy's T/D/ recurve I'll get started on MY bow. Can't wait!

how do you make the lams in the bandsaw?I cant really see from the photo,great build by the way...

Great job Brother! I'm enjoying this one. I have to get me one of those lasers!

Nice build Kenny! The laser looks so....futuristic! lol

kennym · « **Reply #49 on:** April 21, 2009, 08:51:00 PM »

Mox, I cut the lams on the bandsaw,then run thru a thickness sander. On the tapers,I run the proper sled(.001"per "..002" per" etc.) along with the stock so I have a tapered blank to grind.

Marty, the laser rocks,I think if the bow is level across the limbs,you won't get it any straiter. If out of level,I think it will lead you astray tho.

rkmt, that is why I've been expecting to be raided by the trad police!!

Trad Poleece, hear: As long as you ain't using that funny little red lite on an all wud bow then wheel jist have to keep lookun the other way.

kennym · « **Reply #51 on:** April 22, 2009, 09:30:00 PM »

I also used the laser to mark the marks for limb layout lines,cause if you don't get your yardstick clamped flat on the limb,it can be not strait!

Kenny, aka multiple offender... :D
