Dan, That is a pretty great job you did on that bow and the build-a-long. Lots of good pictures and tips and tricks. Nice job.
I have to ask, what are the long "lathe" looking things along your basement wall?  I am always curious.

I have looked at this a lot, and for the life of me there is one thing that I can not understand.  One the band saw, you have a piece of wood with what looks like a 6" diameter piece of pvc on it, and I see where you are sawing laminates with it.  How do you keep it running in a straight line?  Or am I missing something?

The PVC radius allows him to cut lams or veneers off of a board that is nor perfectly parallel with the fence.  Kreg makes a similar fence, but Dans does the same thing for a lot less $$.

Great job Dan...and awesome bow!

BO-R...the toggle clamps are screwed to a block of mdf and that is screwed to the plywood, all of that swings on a pivot that is not shown in the picture.
