What did you do today, 2016

[Robertfishes]

got a set of ILF limbs shaped today..peeled off the belly tape to peek at the Maple Burl veneer.. its purty, no pics though. Ran some 1/16" black phenolic thru my mini drum sander for the limb butt and tip overlays..

Close to finishing a new ASL form.  Old one was made of chip board and swelled up too wide.

One more PT visit and I graduate... Still have to be careful, no heavy lifting and no shooting a bow for another couple months...

[jsweka]

Roy - Will you be able to shoot by the time Marsh Hill rolls around?

[Roy from Pa]

I'm hoping too but depends on what the doctor says. I don't want to tear it apart again...

[Jomohr84]

Glad to hear it Roy!    

[Zradix]

Good to hear Roy.
Sounds like you have the right mindset....listen to the Doc.
Hate to screw up the process when you're so close to the end.
   

[Robertfishes]

Roy, Let me know if you need a light weight glass backed bow. I can build you a kennym design D/R longbow.

[Robertfishes]

I might have to change my name... I was working on a set of limbs this afternoon when a guy I know pulled into my yard..he said you want to sell your boat? I said "No" but I'll take $xxxx cash for it...well, it's his now..I only have my 12" jon boat and a broken paddle now..

[Roy from Pa]

Thanks Robert, I'll keep that in mind..

[Crittergetter]

Yea, It might be hard to fish outta a 12" boat! Better go ahead and change that name!  

[Robertfishes]

Critter, I bought the 12' boat in 1984 and had a 7.5hp engine and a 24# thrust trolling motor on the front..I used it in small lakes and ponds where a trailered boat could not get into..I caught 1000s of bass and speckled perch in that boat.. the boat I just sold was 23' with a 115hp Yamaha used mostly for bow fishing Tilapia.. I'm gonna buy a new 50# thrust for the 12' and look at getting a "nucanoe" or something similar for bass fishing or fishing the coastal flats..

[Crittergetter]

Hey Robert, I was just giving you a hard time about  the typo in your post. You had a 12 inch boat not a 12 foot. I meant absolutely no disrespect in any way. The best boat I ever had was a 12' jon boat I used for duck hunting flooded timber. Got it in places other hunters couldn't go.
   

[Roy from Pa]

Real duck hunters wear hip boots...

[Robertfishes]

Critter I didnt take any offence. I seem to be going back to my roots..I used to fish several times a week, the last few years it been about 4 times per year.. Raining here with lightning right now..We are having my Dads 80th birthday party later today..I rented a room at a local Restaurant, no cooking or dish washing for me today..

[Crittergetter]

Roy, this is a grown up conversation, so be quiet. Lol
I hear ya on the lack of fishing. I used to fish with my father in law almost every weekend. But I havnt even been this year so far. Life has a way of keeping you so busy that you don't even have a life anymore!
Tell your father I said "happy birthday" !!!!

[Roy from Pa]

Just read your PM smarty pants...  

[monterey]

Didn't do anything in the shop today. Took some  of the grandkids fishing.  Turned out to be a fun tour of the "circles of life"

[Roy from Pa]

Cool pictures,  Mike. Where were ya fishing?

I graduated PT today... I flew through all the exercises like I never had surgery..    But I still need to be careful for a month or so longer...
