I made some progress on the riser. The limb pad angles are cut on my table saw:

Using the good old Bingham's jig- I remarked the center lines and have had good luck with it since then:

My fancy tapping jig helps me get a 90 degree cut with the tap- after a few threads have been cut I remove it and finish the process:

Overlays going on the riser:

My redneck overlay press- there is a pressure strip between the hose and riser- it works well:

Here it is looking like a bow- everything still needs shaping but its getting there:

Cutting the string nocks:

Very nice!!

Thanks- I'm chipping away at it. Got a string on it and checked the weight, tiller and limb twist. It's right on track for weight- 56@28 And should finish around 53#s once I adjust the tiller. The alignment was pretty good too-I had to deepen one string nock with a few strokes of the file to get it tracking straight.

Lookin good David! Neat little trick with the 2 files to get the nocks the same!

Trux Turning · « **Reply #39 on:** June 28, 2015, 10:08:00 PM »

Yea Kenny that works well for me- I made some progress on the riser today...
