Thanks folks, I appreciate the kind words.
Kenny, I have that other laminate bow build on hold. I was collecting supplies for the press-form when I read the Topless Form thread, and changed to go with an easier way. I ordered LVL instead of plywood and am leaning on my brother, the Electrician, for some Mule Tape.
I may use the Topless/firehose idea and build a similar form for my next tri-lam.
