I'd like to thank the person(s) that encouraged me to use a rope and pulley system when tillering. It saved me a headache and/or other physical ailments this morning.
I was meticulously tillering out to 27" when suddenly there was only 2/3 of the bow on the tiller tree! The other 1/3 was across the garage with a trail of slender splinters marking its flight to freedom!
Needless to say, I'll be starting another bow in the near future. I'm not skilled enough to complete the selfbow I jokingly referred to as "plan D" earlier. So, ******, I hope you don't mind waiting a few weeks longer for your bow... :confused:
