+2 on the tillering string

Those turnbuckles are an excellent idea, it's always a pain to keep adjusting a timber hitch while tillering.
I love learning something new!

Since we have crossed the space-time continuum into a new year, I will continue this here:

it might also help if the two outside clamps bottom legs could hook in the same hole in the middle where the center clamp is

It does need to move over

The holes were just randomly put there as a generic clamping point. Since it is obvious the outer holes will need to be much closer to the center for most risers I will drill a set of closer spaced holes in the other end of the center support and make the middle hole larger to fit 3 clamps in if I need to. That will give me two sets of options for clamping up risers and lams.

No pictures yet today, I am just about to head out to the workshop to get started on things.

Single digits and clear as a bell here today. It's supposed to warm up to the high 20's tomorrow and drop 13" of snow over the course of next week. Haven't posted much since the summer because we bought a house and I have been renovating the basement ever since. I had contemplated posting pics of my progress but wasn't sure it was allowed. Anyway, once it's finished we can move the things stored in my shop and I can finally set up and build again. A belated Happy New Year to everyone!

Siyah delaminated

Still one layer on the boo, up buy the ruler

I going to remove the belly lam the whole 10" of the tip.
And keep moving forward with a new tip, what kind I don't know? Maybe a coat hanger

Looks more like a fracture than a de-lam, unless you have pulled it apart.

Yes

<-----Me
I got one limb glued up with some reflex today wif Smooth-on

Pat B · « **Reply #33 on:** January 03, 2021, 09:35:05 PM »

Mark, did the spruce shear along the grain or even diagonally? Is that the initial breaking point?

Mad Max · « **Reply #34 on:** January 03, 2021, 11:36:59 PM »

The glue joint in the spruce stack, one layer was still glued to the boo

Shredd · « **Reply #35 on:** January 04, 2021, 08:20:59 AM »

Sorry for asking if you mentioned it earlier but did you use wood glue or epoxy in those glue joints??

Mad Max · « **Reply #36 on:** January 04, 2021, 08:30:50 AM »

Titebond lll

I used water to soften up the very dry Sitka, After gluing up the Siyah's , the glue that was coming out was too wet.
I thought it would be OK.

Moving forward

Smooth on should work..
