Interesting diagrams you have there...  Maybe you can open up a thread and explain in more detail how to work with that graph and how you plot it out,

I would like to model something with known specs and open up the discussion to community proposed tweaks which I could post for all to review, and hopefully compare to a new build.

One possibility I have been considering for a build is a bow Stagmitis posted about in another thread.  It's an intriguing straight limbed design that did well in the WTT...

Shredd, do you still have the longbow mentioned in post 400? A pic would be nice! or a newer design if you are willing to share?

I'm gonna throw a bow together and see how it turns out.  All this engineering is makin my head hurt.  :laughing:
Perhaps Kennym or someone else has a longbow design they are willing to share if new builds are under consideration?

Back when I made my pattern sander it worked so well I bought a back up Assembly, You cant buy them new anymore, maybe some on Ebay



I was looking around the bow shop and found where  I stashed it :thumbsup:

Neat, looks like the top portion of a ridged sander.

We had an inch of black ice covered with 3" of sleet and 6" of snow, I couldn't get out of the house or up and down my steep driveway, I have been house bound for 6 days.

I got out my number one toy yesterday and dug my way out.  I don't want to chance taking my F250 out on the ice but when it warms up tomorrow I should be good to go. I rode my 4 wheeler to the store only to find it had closed 5 minutes before I got there.

Glad to see you guys digging out finally. Not often you get that much sleet. BTW, your lucky the rain and sleet was not snow.  1" water = 1' snow.

I feel bad for all the folks who don't get winter weather often. All the 2wd cars with street tires combined with ice makes for mayhem on unplowed/sanded roads! The first winter I was going to school down in AZ, it snowed on Dec.24th. Never seen so many wrecks and abandoned vehicles!

I was going to get an L but mine was the biggest I could get a belly mower on it. I have to have a belly mower because my neck is messed up and I can't look back to see where a finish more is cutting.

Understand that Eric.

My mower is a 5 foot cut on 3 point hitch, its 24 years old. I had it galvanized when new and rebuilt it twice.

It's still working great.
