Man I’d hate to do a buildalong if it went south on me! LOL

I’ll take some pics and see how it goes...

Got the pads cut, rounded center of back and glued on a 1/8” phenolic end to end on riser back, keeping everything square to side.

What's it look like?

kennym · « **Reply #23 on:** January 28, 2018, 04:26:00 PM »

Can’t tell, has plastic wrap and clamps all over it! LOL

Ready to start this operation...

Cutting the pad angles to 15*

I had allready rounded the point over ( bottom of 5 gallon bucket size radius :D ) before I thought to take this pic...

A piece of 1/8" phenolic to wrap over the back, sanded both sides....

About the right glue squeezeout! Must have actually done a good job applying!!

Note I used the cutoffs so I would have a straight clamping surface, and wrapped in plastic so I don't have to cut them off again. LOL

Thats it for today.....

I hope it works out Kenny - would hate to see you ruin that nice looking riser!

Looks like you are on track- that's a good looking riser!

I drew a plan on paper for once before starting . I really hope I don’t mess it up too!! LOL

Awesome, Kenny.

kennym · « **Reply #29 on:** January 29, 2018, 09:25:00 AM »

Thank you Mr. Roy!

More on it today, got a bit ahead of myself maybe here....

Needed a router table cause I want to hide the hardware and don't have a CNC, so improvised...

A fence to cut where I wanted, took longer than I wanted to get it set, but worked well...

And the results for today , along with some other stuff.....

I hope this all works!! LOL

Very nice bud.

Looking good kenny!!!
Think I’ll stick with building simple one pieces........ for now

kennym · « **Reply #33 on:** January 30, 2018, 07:22:00 PM »

Yeah , even the TD longbows are simple compared to this. It would have been easier if I didn't want to hide the hardware somewhat. Also if I had an inch router bit. LOL

Looks good from here.

I'm going to attempt this this summer using only hand tools and a hand drill. I honestly don't know what I'm getting myself into...

kennym · « **Reply #36 on:** January 30, 2018, 09:03:00 PM »

I see a mistake already. I should have stopped the routed channel at the end of the brass piece. Now I need to add a pc of something to let the limb stop work.... Dammit!

Roy from Pa · « **Reply #37 on:** January 30, 2018, 09:14:00 PM »

I'm not following what you are saying there, Kenny?

kennym · « **Reply #38 on:** January 30, 2018, 09:27:00 PM »

I’ll have to look in morning but the copper colored sleeve prob should set on the phenolic at the level of top of brass. I can fix it but may need a longer bolt now.

kennym · « **Reply #39 on:** January 30, 2018, 09:34:00 PM »

So I wasn’t ahead of myself in the first pic, but should have only routed for the brass hardware.....
