Gluing overlay. I have two curves in the making.

I get jealous every time I see a picture of Bue's shop...

Bue, do you just use regular tye wraps to hold it all together before you have air in the hose?

Buemaker · « **Reply #186 on:** March 04, 2020, 01:11:24 PM »

Yes, ordinary zip ties on top of metal strip. I pump the hose up to about 20 pounds and let it sit for about 10 minutes. If all is well up to 35-40 pounds, look it over and cut and pull out ties. Then up to 50-55 pounds.
One time I forgot to remove ties, but all was well after curing.I guess as long as ties are on top of metal strip it is okay.
I do the same with bow limbs.

Good to know, it seems like a better option than tape!

Crooked Stic · « **Reply #188 on:** March 06, 2020, 08:05:33 AM »

Those ties work real well on the recurve tips to bend them around the form.

Not much to show for the victim.

Will be a nice handle.

Thanks Bue hoping I hit the weight for Mr. victim.

Got a bit of shaping done on attempt number two... or is it three , or four???

kennym · « **Reply #192 on:** March 06, 2020, 08:36:52 PM »

Not sure bout this attempt yet, may go to attempt 5 ...

Crooked Stic · « **Reply #193 on:** March 06, 2020, 08:57:32 PM »

Kenny that looks like it will fit my hand pretty good.

kennym · « **Reply #194 on:** March 06, 2020, 09:51:06 PM »

Seems pretty small, a 15" riser just don't seem like enough.

That's a sexy little riser Kenny!

Mad Max · « **Reply #196 on:** March 06, 2020, 10:58:23 PM »

Here is a 12-3/4" riser Kenny

Crooked Stic · « **Reply #197 on:** March 07, 2020, 07:43:29 AM »

It will be fine Kenny I make 13 In. Seems you got to shorten them up if you are going with short bow and longer draw.

kennym · « **Reply #198 on:** March 07, 2020, 09:49:41 AM »

Yup just looks little in my hand!! LOL

Nother snippet ...
